BookTok’s Next Obsession Emerges From the ICARUS Universe With Jared Benjamin’s “Angel Eyes”
Jared Benjamin’s newest single, “Angel Eyes,” bursts forward with massive pop-rock energy that fans of bands like Imagine Dragons will immediately connect with. As the latest chapter in the emotionally immersive “ICARUS” universe that has resonated deeply across #BookTok, the track grabs attention instantly and keeps that momentum from start to finish.
Jared’s vocal range is impressive, and he moves through each section with confidence and control, balancing power with warmth and elevating the track. Every performance choice feels intentional, drawing listeners deeper into the song.
His delivery gives the lyrics a deeply personal edge, capturing the transition from emotional weight to a more hopeful state of mind. There’s a sincerity in the performance that makes the song feel intimate without losing its anthemic scale. Meanwhile, the chorus lands with real impact and lingers long after the track ends.
Jared shared that “‘Angel Eyes’ is about meeting someone who completely changes your life. She saved me. I became a better version of myself the moment I met her, and I am continually my best self the more I’m around her. So, I’d do anything for her and anything to keep her.” That honesty bleeds through every second of the track and makes it hit even harder.
The production of “Angel Eyes” is exceptionally well-executed. Co-written and co-produced by Jared Benjamin alongside Michael Locatelli, Isabella Kearny, and Matias Malagardis, every single element locks into place perfectly, giving the vocals and music room to breathe while still slamming with serious power. The arrangement feels polished without sounding overproduced, allowing every melodic detail to land naturally.
The singer continues to refine the cinematic pop-rock sound that defined earlier releases like “Flatline,” “Three Steps Ahead,” and “Drag Me Down,” while pushing the emotional and sonic intensity even further on “Angel Eyes.”
Currently on his debut headlining ICARUS tour, Jared is performing across the UK, Europe, Canada, and the United States alongside special guests Harrison Boe, Ryman Leon, and Diana Thale. If “Angel Eyes” is any indication of what audiences can expect live, these shows are set to leave a lasting impression.
