Alec Benjamin, Follow Me → Song Review

Youthful-sounding pop singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin delivers an enjoyable, memorable, and well-rounded song with “Follow Me.”

And so, begins “Follow Me” by pop singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin. In the pleasant single, Benjamin’s unique, boyish voice remains intact – that’s a win! He and producer Alex Hope composed it.

There is plenty to love about “Follow Me.” The rhythmic guitars are sweet, while the production is sound and well-rounded. To reiterate, Alec Benjamin’s high-pitched, youthful voice sounds beautiful! I love how ‘light’ his instrument sounds.  His rhythmic melody lines are tuneful, while the songwriting is poetic and thoughtful. “I know it sounds insane, like I lost my mind / But this feels ordained, it just feels divine,” he sings in the second verse, and continues, “Feel it in my veins that this is the sign / That I need to change, that it’s finally time.” The expressive, memorable, and tuneful chorus is the crème de la crème:

“Wherever I go, you’ll follow, follow me

Whenever I speak, you’ll listen carefully

No matter what comes tomorrow, bitter pill you must swallow

Just promise me that you’ll follow

Even if it’s dangerous, еven when it’s dark

Even if it’s trеacherous, even when it’s hard

Even when you’re feelin’ weak, broken and your heart

Heart is feeling hollow, just promise me that you’ll follow.”

During the second verse, Benjamin sings in his middle register; the sound is still easygoing, light, and most of all, beautiful.  All told, “Follow Me” is an enjoyable Alec Benjamin song.  Does it move the needle necessarily? No, but if you’re a fan of the handsome, talented, boyish-voiced singer-songwriter, you’ll be on board with this song!
