My Take
Alec Benjamin appeals to me precisely because he works against the grain of pop bombast. Raised in Phoenix and trained at USC's music school, he broke through with Let Me Down Slowly, a song that hit the top 40 in over 25 countries on the strength of its intimacy rather than any big hook. He sings like he is confiding a story to you, and that narrative, almost whispered quality is rare. He is a product of the streaming generation who clawed up through persistence, and I admire artists who win on empathy rather than volume.
