That same day began with the release of the beautiful updated version of ‘Let Me Down Slowly’ featuring ALESSIA CARA. Upon release, the duet quickly received rave reviews with Rolling Stone hailing;
.
“Benjamin and Cara’s voices meld together on the hypnotic pop tune as they reflect on vulnerability and the fear of losing a good relationship. Cara’s contribution is a bit of soulful accentuation to the cooler tones of Benjamin’s voice as she tackles the second verse and chorus.”
.
Benjamin entered the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Let Me Down Slowly’ featuring ALESSIA CARA and last week; his Spotify singles were released. The singles featured a stripped rendition of ‘Let Me Down Slowly’ as well as his fan-favorite, emotionally gripping cover of Eminem’s ‘Stan’.
