Each of Ben Reel’s albums carries an undercurrent, and his twelfth studio album, Spirit’s Not Broken, is no exception. In a world gripped by conflict, climate anxiety, and suffering, it’s easy to feel powerless. Yet this record reaffirms a timeless truth – the power of love and human connection.
Musically, the album begins with raw rock energy before flowing into soulful, R&B-infused grooves, evoking echoes of Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Van Morrison, and Sting. The result is an uplifting and deeply human work ,both urgent and timeless.
