Ben Lee delivers a career-defining release built on his belief "that the best song in the world should be the catchiest, and should be popular, and should be the cleverest, and the most soulful". RIPE, Lee's 6th album, continues Ben's trademark Pop craftsmanship, sense of humor and uncontainable passion for life, as well as representing a marked maturity in form. The 12 song set includes the exuberant sweeping ballad "Love Me Like the World is Ending", the infectious track "Blush", an ode to a personal hero in "What Would Jay-Z Do?" and the Mandy Moore duet "Birds & Bees".
