​​He is releasing his debut album People Say to be released in the Fall.

​​“Ben Wylen's debut solo album ‘People Say’ is a gorgeous, confessional 12-track record defiant in the face of what the whispers say, and rules others think people have to live by. It follows in the footsteps of the heartrending and inspirational songwriting like Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, with nods to modern artists like Coldplay, Lady Gaga and Hozier, who he sees as carrying on that spirit.

​​A trip to London resulted in a chance meeting with producer Danton Supple (Coldplay, Morrissey, U2), with the pair eventually heading into London’s State Of The Ark Studios to record the songs together. The pair made a good fit: Wylen providing the gut-wrenching, emotional guidance to the songs and Supple’s expert production work helping to realise these songs’ wonderful potential. Members of Elbow (drummer Richard Jupp) and Starsailor (bassist James Steflox), string arranger Audrey Riley (The Cure, The Smiths, Smashing Pumpkins) and Grammy Award-winning mixing engineer Steve Fitzmaurice (Sam Smith, Lewis Capaldi) helping flesh out the album to its gorgeous ​​state.”​
