Alec Benjamin has been one of my favorite music artists out there, once upon a time he was niche but I’m very happy he’s well known. He’s worked hard for it.
Alec is the kind of guy I look at and get “Lover Boy” from. He’s very passionate in his writing about multiple feelings and how he may feel towards others and scenarios. Alec has various forms of singing as well. Most songs are slow, letting you hold on to every word, others are more rapid as he brings you into this scene of intense pressure or stimulation with his skills to rap.
Alec’s most common genre, I would say, would be a more romantic/heartbreak genre. In some of his album’s descriptions, it’ll talk about his experiences and mor importantly, you’ll hear it from himself in his songs.
Now, unfortunately, if you’re like me and listen more predominantly on Apple Music, you will be limited to four albums.

And a few Singles, He’s released “The Knife in My Back “on Apple Music in 2025 after having been on YouTube for such a long time. He’s reprised the song from its original and it’s so hard to choose which ones better, but personally, I’m really liking the 2025 reprise more but I’m juggling right now. And his newest song, EMOTIONS with WENDY, a Korean artist.
You can find more of his songs all on YouTube, which is where I first discovered him through one of those lyric videos. The kind that just end up on your YouTube playlists rather than the original video for some odd reason. His music videos are also really cool; some are of him others are more engaging.
I personally feel like Alec has a little bit of something for everyone. He’s also great to listen to when studying or writing (Unless you’re like me when your favorite song comes on and you start dramatically singing it out).
I do highly suggest giving him a listen if you haven’t heard of him before and if you have and it’s been forever given him another listen.
If storytelling could be told in song form
With twists and turns and everything between
Each pluck of the string.
A devotee
quiet
fast
slow
serene.

A small poem on Alec Benjamin
I didn’t know you liked Alec Benjamin. I have listened to one or two of his songs. I might have to revisit his songs. I have liked some of his songs over the years though.
I’ve never heard of Alec before, but he sounds cool. I’ll probably check him out!
