We're not going to let you down slowly on this one, fam. This week we're joined by a genuine pop star in multi-platinum singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin. Straight off the billion+ stream success of his global hit "Let Me Down Slowly," he jumps into the hotseat to talk all about his latest album (Un)Commentary (due Friday April 15th) Not only are we stoked to get into the nitty gritty of his writing process, Red Hot Chili Peppers fandom, and Will Smith Oscars slap theories, but we got to sample this gem of a record before the rest of the world. Christmas came early for all us good TnT bois. Check out the album when it hits streaming this Friday, and catch him at Coachella April 16th and April 23rd. Cheers, lovelies!
