Released in April, "Call It What It Is" has generated glowing reviews both in the U.S. and abroad.

The Associated Press hailed it as "Ben Harper at his best ... one of the most versatile and sensitive voices of the last three decades."

The acclaimed project has garnered major media coverage, including features in USA Today, The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, Billboard, GQ, AfroPunk, Uncut, MOJO and Entertainment Weekly to name a few. Ben and the band have also performed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," ESPN's "SportsCenter," "CONAN" and "Charlie Rose."
