‘11:11’ by Ben Barnes

The actor woos us with more than his acting chops and intensity in his debut single

Ben Barnes has been making our day crooning piano covers on Instagram for a while now and we finally have a full original song by the English hottie (if you don’t agree, you need to get your pulse checked!) who has been making us drool with his delicious baddie roles. Barnes released his first single 11:11, a jazz number that pulls on your heartstrings. An ode to music from the ’70s, 11:11 is, as Barnes put it, his “wish for you to be happy, fearless and free in the pursuit of your dreams”. The music video, starring Barnes and his Westworld co-star Evan Rachel Wood, is glamorous as it is dreamy, moving from the bedroom (and a shirtless Barnes crooning the first lines) to a room full of mirrors to a lit stage with a full band.

Barnes' single comes after “20 years of wanting to release my own music and finally finding the right reasons” and is the first song from his EP, Songs For You, which will be available on October 15.
