We had the pleasure of interviewing Alec Benjamin over Zoom video.

Having come a long way from the days of promoting his music in parking lots of concert venues, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin ended 2021 by playing to sold-out crowds across North America. With him, Alec brought on the road an already impressive resum\xe9 having reached 4B+ global streams, 10M+ social media followers across his platforms, 70M+ in playlist reach, and 1B+ YouTube views on his channel.

Alec Benjamin\u2019s sophomore album (Un)Commentary is out now via Elektra Records. The album features 13 tracks including the heartfelt single \u201cSpeakers\u201d and the previously released \u201cThe Way You Felt,\u201d \u201cOlder,\u201d and \u201cShadow Of Mine.\u201d

\u201cSpeakers\u201d was written by Alec and GRAMMY-winning songwriter Dan Wilson (Adele, Taylor Swift, Leon Bridges). The track holds out hope for a relationship with Alec pondering, \u201cI often think about the way you\u2019ll think about me when we\u2019re old / I always thought we could be the greatest story ever told.\u201d The music video, directed by Joe Mischo (K Camp, Cheat Codes, Conan Gray, Dwayne Jackson), starts from a \u200b\u200bsingle cassette tape and song, tugging at our heartstrings and revealing how music leads to a lifetime of memories.

Throughout (Un)Commentary, Alec transforms his observations into immediately catchy and heartfelt songs leaving an indelible imprint composing his lyrics with uncompromising clarity, but never lapsing into cynicism, infusing every song with an irrepressible hope and displaying a poet\u2019s capacity to mine immense feeling from the most intricate details.

(Un)Commentary was produced by Sir Nolan (Kehlani, Selena Gomez), Sam de Jong (Lennon Stella, Gary Clark Jr.), and R\xd8MANS (Mary J Blige, Khalid) and features writing collaborations with Dan Wilson (Adele, Leon Bridges), Charlie Puth (Justin Bieber, John Legend), Sam Roman (R\xd8MANS) and Nolan Lambrosa (Sir Nolan) to name a few.
