(Un)Commentary is the second and major-label debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin, released on April 15, 2022, through Elektra Records. It produced five singles, including its only charting single, "Devil Doesn't Bargain". Benjamin embarked on an international tour throughout 2022 in support of the album.[1]
Matthew Dwyer of PopMatters wrote that "Benjamin's love for contemplation is evident in his music. He magnifies thought experiments into catchy parables, animated by slick studio production and acoustic instrumentation", and that his "autobiographical storytelling is sharp throughout the album". Dwyer concluded that "his eye for detail and unique storytelling style may be uncommon in pop right now, [but] it's clear he'll be setting trends for years to come".
