Acclaimed Irish singer-songwriter Ben Reel returns with his soul-stirring new single “Bring It Back to Life,” the latest offering from his forthcoming twelfth studio album Spirit’s Not Broken, out January 23, 2026 via Mars Music Group. With a radiant Beatles-inspired groove and the gospel-tinged Hammond organ of Van Morrison collaborator John McCullough, the track exudes vintage warmth and optimism. Inspired by Peter Jackson’s Get Back documentary, Reel channels that same sense of creative rebirth and communal energy into a modern anthem of hope.
Written in the wake of the pandemic, “Bring It Back to Life” is a musical call to arms — a reminder to rise, rebuild, and believe again. Its lyrics, rich with imagery of resurrection and renewal, invite listeners to dust themselves off and find light amid life’s trials. Ben’s passionate vocals soar over an uplifting arrangement that recalls the spirit of Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, and Johnny Cash. “Bring It Back to Life” carries the unmistakable energy of a timeless classic — an ode to perseverance and faith in turbulent times.
Spirit’s Not Broken continues Reel’s 35-year journey as one of Ireland’s most enduring troubadours. Blending rock, soul, and folk with heartfelt storytelling, the album radiates warmth and humanity. It follows a prolific decade that has seen Ben record with Nashville greats, tour globally, and perform on stages from Ireland’s Electric Picnic to the Bluebird Café in Nashville. With Spirit’s Not Broken, Ben Reel reaffirms his standing as a master craftsman of song — an artist whose music uplifts, unites, and brings life back to the heart.
