From the recent success of Ed Sheeran as an acoustic singer/songwriter, it has become a mostly dominated genre of the music industry with an astonishingly big worldwide fan base. And though it has been very tough for any young male artist looking to break through in this part of the scene, some have started to with the likes of Shawn Mendes, Dermot Kennedy and Dean Lewis. However, there seems to be one other name climbing the ladder show-by-show across America. His name is Alec Benjamin. The Phoenix born singer has made a claim to fame recently with his well sought after single, 'Let me down slowly' that broke through the charts in 2018 with it's eerily relatable lyrics that throws you into a fixed state of an emotional roller coaster as his words take you on his own journey of heart break. Although the singer is only 24 years old, the music that is produced feels like a man that has undergone many experiences and thus has created the tune that is youthful in melody, but mature in a lyrical sense.
So, from this Alec released his first album 'Narrated for you' that throws the audience through his stories of love and heart break. The beautifully developed lyrics make a piece of music that allows the audience to truly listen to each and every word, and with a matter of minutes you will be singing along to the song. Of course, the voice matches the delicate subjects that are being explained with a hushed and soft tone that is not overly powerful in force, yet it is full sounding with it's ability to captivate you immediately. As the audience you believe every word Alec sings as you feel his passionate highs, but heart destroying lows. Every song truly does have the whole package, and so does he. With a personality that appears both kind and humble it is for sure that the name Alec Benjamin will be around for quite some time.
