Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin’s sophomore album (Un)Commentary is out now via Elektra Records. The album features 13 tracks including the new heartfelt single “Speakers” and the previously released “The Way You Felt,” “Older,” and “Shadow Of Mine.”
“Speakers” 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, “I often think about the way you’ll think about me when we’re old / I always thought we could be the greatest story ever told.” The music video, directed by Joe Mischo (K Camp, Cheat Codes, Conan Gray, Dwayne Jackson), starts from a single cassette tape and song, tugging at our heartstrings and revealing how music leads to a lifetime of memories. Listen to “Speakers” here, watch the video here. Alec recently performed previously released single “Shadow Of Mine” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
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’s 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 RØMANS (Mary J Blige, Khalid) and features writing collaborations with Dan Wilson (Adele, Leon Bridges), Charlie Puth (Justin Bieber, John Legend), Sam Roman (RØMANS) and Nolan Lambrosa (Sir Nolan) to name a few.
