Ben Folds coming to Cincinnati

Ben Folds will perform 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, at the Cintas Center at Xavier University in support of his critically-acclaimed 3rd studio album, “Way to Normal.” Tickets are $25.

According to his website, the album, Folds’ third solo studio release, is dominated by the kind of irresistible hooks and piano-pounding pandemonium that listeners haven’t been treated to since Folds’ years with his previous band, the platinum-selling Ben Folds Five.

“Way to Normal” is an exuberant, raucous, and sometimes profane mix of sure-fire crowd-pleasers (“Hiroshima,” “Bitch Went Nuts,” and the frenetically fuzzed-out “Dr. Yang”), cheerful snark-fests (“The Frown Song,” “Brainwascht”), and thoughtful, moving ballads (“Cologne,” “Kylie From Connecticut”) that Folds wrote at the end of 2007.

“This new album is really about me being free, which is why it feels cathartic and expressive,” Folds said. “It’s about me coming back to being myself.” (Hence the title.)
