Alec Benjamin releases ‘Six Feet Apart’ inspired by pandemic

Today, Platinum-certified artist Alec Benjamin debuted a new song inspired by current world events: “Six Feet Apart.” The track comes on the heels of his lead single “Oh My God” from his upcoming debut album These Two Windows, out May 29th. The songwriter first premiered the song on social media last week after writing and producing it entirely over FaceTime. People everywhere immediately reacted to the song with more than half a million streams of the demo on YouTube. Listen to the official version of “Six Feet Apart” available now on all DSPs and streaming services HERE.

Written in his family home while in quarantine, Benjamin says of the song: “I wrote this song about social distancing and feeling isolated. I wanted to let people know that they aren’t alone!”

<< Oh I miss you most at six feet apart/

When you’re right outside my window/ But can’t ride inside my car/

I miss your smile/ Feels like miles/ Six feet apart>>

Current single “Oh My God” continues to build at radio globally and climb the charts at DSPs. The song has garnered over 25m+ global streams to date, with streaming partners jumping to support the song across the board. “Oh My God” is quickly becoming one of Alec’s most streamed songs to date garnering major playlist inclusions and press acclaim.

Earlier this year Benjamin announced his debut album These Two Windows, the follow-up to his acclaimed mixtape Narrated For You. Pre-save the These Two Windows HERE.

He is currently on his first ever virtual tour, These Two Windows Livestream Tour which made stops at Amazon Music x Twitch Stream Aid, Urban Outfitters (on Instagram), Levi’s 5:01 LIVE (on Instagram), Billboard Sessions (on Facebook Live) and will head to other high profile stops at tmrw magazine (on Instagram) and Ladygunn (on Instagram). The tour is also making stops at over 30 Pop and Hot AC radio stations across the country. Alec announced via socials that his headline tour, which was set to start this month, would move to fall, asking fans to “stay safe + healthy out there.” In the meantime, Alec will take his tour virtual, bringing music to the homes of fans across the world. Additional tour stops to be announced.

Benjamin is straight off a massive U.K. arena tour alongside Lewis Capaldi which sold out across the board, including two nights at the famed SS Arena at Wembley. The acclaimed singer-songwriter will continue on to make his first-ever Coachella performances on their rescheduled October dates and will announce new dates for his own North American headline These Two Windows Tour soon. Tickets will be valid for new dates. For all up to date information and announcements please visit https://www.alecbenjamin.com/tour/.
