Music News MonthlyNews, Reviews and Interviews Tony, GRAMMY® and Emmy Award winner Ben Platt has released his third studio album Honeymind via Interscope Records. Honeymind begins the latest chapter of a storied career jam-packed with hits and acclaimed performances in iconic properties such as Dear Evan Hanson, Pitch Perfect, and Parade. Platt recently opened up about the creation of his new album, and how it got its name. "One day I ate some mushroom chocolate and went on a hike with the love of my life," he wrote. "I thought about how to describe to him that I was just so happy to be in love with him. That my love for him somehow softens things and slows it all down." After a moment of contemplation, he settled on "honeymind" as a suitable description for his state of bliss.
As it turns out, matters of the heart dominate the album. "I wrote about finding real love," Platt explains. "About being grateful for it and tending to it, and all of the work we have to do as individuals to find security in who we are, so that we're ready for that real love when it comes along." Although this is the first new album from Platt since 2021's Reverie, the prolific artist never slowed down. He completed a hugely successful solo tour following the release of Reverie which saw him headlining sellout crowds at such important venues as The Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden and others. Even more, last year he starred on Broadway as Leo Frank in the revival of Parade, earning him his second Tony nomination, and in the film Theater Camp, which he also produced and co-wrote.
