Musical mastermind Benny Blanco has just given his debut solo album, FRIENDS KEEP SECRETS, and it proves exactly why the guy is consistently at the forefront of pop. In addition to the amazing cuts of his we've posted, there is an inventive two-part song with Ty Dolla $ign and 6LACK, a rare rendition of "Just For Us" with Francis and the Lights and Justin Vernon, and a heart-wrenching effort with rising star Ryan Beatty. The album is the ideal way to sum up the very best of popular music from the past year, and it properly recognizes the artist who's been the glue between it all.
