Benjamin Quartzโs latest single, โPyromane,โ released on September 26, 2025, sets the Marseillais singer-songwriter apart as an artist who thrives on contradictions. Drawing inspiration from samba rhythms and tales of burning love, Quartz fuses delicacy and danger into a slow-building fire of sound. From the get-go, the song tiptoes in with soft, teasing guitar strums that almost whisper rather than play, while his deep, rich voice creeps in like smoke curling through a dim-lit room. The title might promise chaos, but when it comes down to it, it simmers to the boil, building the tension as it hooks you by the tailend.
Soon enough, the heat rises. Itโs followed by a pulsing double bass like a heartbeat growing restless. The Brazilian percussion sneaks in with rattles and taps, giving the rhythm a jittery and playful sway. The soundscape feels like watching a dancerโs hypnotic shadow flicker against the light of a fire she might have started herself.
As the bridge arrives, the strings twist and bend, writhing around the melody like flames licking through the air. Thereโs something poetic in that chaos, the way the instruments tease tension but never lose their elegance. Finally, a flurry of handclaps and castanets closes the track, evoking the image of a gypsy woman spinning wildly around her own creation.
In โPyromane,โ Benjamin Quartz orchestrates passion. Every strum, clap, and sigh is a part of an elaborate dance between restraint and surrender. It caresses the ears even as it sets the soul alightย in its subtle, sensuous, and absolutely spellbinding way.
