    Is it only me that alec benjamin is my favorite singer, like it's incredible how can he Tell something in his songs that I can relate but can can't express them through words in the other hand he turned them into songs I really love this man I started listening to his songs when I was 14 and now I am 16 years old and he is still my fav singer, he is incredibly talented and I wish I could say this to him one day face to face ❤️❤️❤️

      I've been a fan of Alec for about 4 or 5 years, I went to his concert in salt lake 2 months ago, and it was the best experience I've ever had in my life. I cried the entire way home because I was so happy

    I find it strange that Let Me Down Slowly has like 300M+ views and all his other songs only have around 5M views each on average. I prefer his other songs to his most popular but they're all super great 💙

      @@nanungihmartlangte94 I'm not sure about generalizing like that, but I'd say that's true for a lot of people. The algorithm has a lot to do with it too though. He's not as popular as some artists' and this one is the most recommended song most likely

      Let Me Down Slowly was the first song I heard from him. I feel like it is the most views since it can be the most relatable for many people in many situations.

    I'm just so glad he never gave up on his dreams. I'm sure he has had a not so small role in saving a lot of lives including mine by telling us we are not alone and that our feelings matter. Love you Alec. Wish I could see you live one day.

    Alec definitely deserves every ounce of recognition and fame he gets. Bc not only is he a really good artist and (in my opinion) is incapable of making a bad song, he has an amazing personality and he is just so pure. He for sure is my favorite artist and I’m really excited to see his career grow. :)
