On June 26, 2026- singer-songwriter and viral dark pop sensation Jared Benjamin released his debut album ICARUS: Too Close to The Sun. Inspired by the Greek myth of Icarus, the 12-track project explores themes of love, ambition, vulnerability, and self-destruction through Jared’s signature blend of dark pop and emotionally driven songwriting.
“ICARUS: Too Close To The Sun is a culmination of everything I am — my loves, my fears, my insecurities. I poured all of my time, love, and energy into it, and in return, it proved to be therapy, healing me. I hope that it can be that to whoever listens. This debut album encapsulates those feelings and this era, and feels the most like me that I’ve ever sounded. I can’t wait to connect with people and continue playing it live.” – Jared Benjamin
