Praise for Let It Slide
"A bubbling musical backdrop for Benevento's epigrammatic vocals...free-wheeling innovations makes for one of Benevento's most compelling albums to date"
KCRW
"The kind of psych-pop that should appeal to fans of anything from The
Beatles to The
Flaming Lips to Tame Impala"
BrooklynVegan
"Bassline-Fueled, Lush, Infectious"
Relix
"A summertime groove...'Say It's All the Same' promotes a message that resonates throughout the entirety of Let It Slide: that being yourself will lead to feeling fine and free"
FLOOD
"Benevento's pop songs brim with creativity and hooks that are accessible to all. Let It Slide takes the listener on a journey spanning from rock and soul, to New Orleans jazz and psychedelia - sometimes within one song"
Metro
"Marco Benevento has long been known as a piano and keys savant...but lately, he's been leaning into pop sensibilities, building punchy, catchy songs that value a good hook and brevity. And on Let It Slide, Benevento dives even deeper into that"
DOPE Magazine
"Upending expectations is kind of his thing"
