#Let Me Down Slowly is a soulful pop ballad by American singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin #released in 2018 as a single from his mixtape Narrated for You. The song #co-written by Benjamin #Michael Pollack #and Sir Nolan #captures the raw emotion of a fading relationship #where the narrator pleads for a gentle end rather than an abrupt breakup.
