Upon release, NARRATED FOR YOU received instant critical acclaim from outlets including THE NEW YORK TIMES and TIME as well as messages of praise and support from fellow artists including John Mayer, Billie Eilish and more. The mixtape features chart-ascending lead single, "Let Me Down Slowly," which is currently impacting at multi-format radio outlets nationwide having already racked up over 110 million global streams to date. "Let Me Down Slowly" is joined by an official companion video, now approaching 13.5 million views. The single has drawn critical applause akin to its popular reception, with Blackbook hailing it as "a stunningly visceral new single," and praising Benjamin's "youthful but compelling vocal delivery" and "gift for lyrical complexity." "'Let Me Down Slowly' condenses (Benjamin's) obvious songwriting talent into something potent and gut-wrenching," raved Idolator. "It's exciting to witness his evolution." The 12-track collection also features Benjamin's eagerly awaited fan favorite, "Water Fountain" as well as the previously released global streaming hits "1994," "If We Have Each Other," "The Boy In The Bubble" "Death of a Hero," and "Outrunning Karma."

In support of his debut mixtape, Benjamin - who performed his first-ever headline shows this summer to sold-out venues in Brooklyn and Los Angeles - is currently traveling North America on his first-ever nationwide headline tour, which sold out every night well in advance.
