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.
