More about Alec Benjamin

Alec Benjamin is an American singer-songwriter famous for his 2018 number, Let Me Down Slowly. The single has reached the top 40 in over 25 countries and has amassed over 1 billion streams on Spotify as of April 2022. The singer released his first song in 2012, titled Together We’ll Fall.

Earlier in April this year, Alec Benjamin released his sophomore full-length album (‘Un')Commentary. It features tracks including Devil Doesn’t Bargain, The Way You Felt, and Shadow of Mine.

In several interviews, the singer has mentioned that in the middle of the pandemic, he felt that his career was over. Back when the album was released, the American Songwriter said:

“In the middle of the pandemic, it kind of felt like for a second that my career was really over."

Further speaking about it with Riff Magazine, he said:

“Going into it I was thinking, ‘Maybe if I just go somewhere else, or get out of my house, or move in with friends or change my address,’ But that’s not going to fix my problems. You, kind of have to learn to live with yourself.”

Speaking about the album in an interview, he said:

“I’m taking more risks and talking about subject matters I haven’t explored in my music, and I’m still telling stories, but I’m not using characters as much. By using characters in a story as a tool, I didn’t have to necessarily put myself out there as much. And now I’m kind of like, ‘Hey, this is me; I’m the main character in this.’"

(Un)Commentary is a follow-up to Alec Benjamin's major label debut, These Two Windows, which was released in 2020.
