On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Alec Benjamin.

Releasing his third studio album, 12 Notes, earlier this month, Benjamin takes us through a vulnerable journey, as each song is meant to mirror a journal entry and represent a different section of his life.

Naturally, that includes taking different turns across the whole album, including rapping (“I Sent My Therapist to Therapy”) and working with Grammy-winning duo Stargate for pop love songs (“Different Kind of Beautiful”).

Benjamin also recently announced his headline tour, launching in September, where he will make stops in more than two dozen cities across North America.

Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.
