Fans worldwide fell head over heels for Ben Platt during his Tony® Award-winning turn in the title role of Dear Evan Hansen and on-screen in films such as the Pitch Perfect franchise. As the vocalist, actor, and performer sang life into a host of nuanced and fascinating characters, audiences embraced his voice wholeheartedly. By dusting off the piano, picking up a pen, and singing his own truth straight from the heart, he shared another side of himself as a solo artist.
Ben achieved superstar status as Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, originating the lead role. The New York Times lauded him as a “breakout star,” and he went on to receive the 2017 Tony® Award for “Best Actor in a Musical.” Other honors included “Best Musical Theater Album” at the 2018 GRAMMY® Awards for the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, “Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program” at the Daytime EMMY® Awards for a cast performance of “You Will Be Found” on The Today Show, and more. Not to mention, he joined forces with Hamilton mastermind Lin-Manuel Miranda to craft a mash-up of “The Story of Tonight” and “You Will Be Found,” benefiting the “March for Our Lives” anti-gun violence movement.
Signed to Atlantic Records by Chairman and C.E.O. Craig Kallman and President of A&R Pete Ganbarg, he explored his formative influences, ranging from timeless singer-songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carole King to legendary crooners like Donny Hathaway, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder. As a result, the music delivers confessional lyricism by way of soulful intimacy as part of one cohesive narrative on his 2019 full-length debut, Sing To Me Instead. The 12-track album, which was primarily produced by Jenn Decilveo, chronicles the highs and lows of a transformative relationship. Showcasing his story, Ben penned several songs solo and co-wrote the remainder of material alongside the likes of Ben Abraham, Eg White, Nate Cyphert, Michael Pollack, and more.

THAT HARMONY HIT ME IN THE CHEST! LORD I'm SWEATING! My favorite part though is at 3:27... the look on Ben's face listening to his brother
-
Dang, Henry is good too... they all are omg rip me and my no talent
-
I'm alone in my apartment crying over this song. Music is the only thing to make me feel so emotional
-
Elizabeth Gaba is the story there...I mean...stunning performances all, of course, but to hold your own and be heard in the midst of all those strong male voices...she's the one I want to hear more of...
-
the vocals are amazing and the beard im shook
-
When Ben gets into the music and his hands start moving, I get really distracted😂
-
their casual reactions at the end still make me laugh. like did they not know that they all just sounded like they were plucked from heaven?
-
Why isn't there a professional recording of this somewhere?! I want to listen to this forever.
-
Ben is honestly amazing. What a great guy :) His voice is so gorgeous!

This kind of singing is what inspires me most

Anyone else confused with how the picture frames are arranged on the piano?

Ben Platt, you need to come out with an album! Everyone was amazing, but I could seriously listen to you all day!
-

-
"right that's the one" jfc how many times did you do it because I want to see them all
-
The colour of that chord at 1:25... wow! (C-Eb-F-Ab for those wondering) A simple basic chord but that sounds so particularly beautiful in that cover. And same chord but with the Gb ornament at 3:50. 👏 And many others ahah. It isn’t the pitches (which are the same as in the original song) that make that colour, but really what they manage to do with it

"Crazy Ever After" Today you're gonna leave just like you did the day before Watch by the windowsill you disappear into the corner store I could swear that I saw you slip out the back door You left your set of keys and left me alone I'm pacing our apartment, my head's a broken record, I can't think I keep repeating the very last word that you said to me You didn't tell me you loved me, just goodbye And there was something kinda final in it Stay Everything is wrong without you Stay My whole world's a wreck Oh, will you save me now Or leave me crazy ever after I'm in a weak condition cause now you've cut into the heart of me You got my mind racing losing my grip on reality You got me second guessing what's true and what's a lie Why don't you look me in the eye when I say Stay (stay, stay) Everything is wrong without you Stay (stay, stay) My whole world's a wreck Oh, will you save me now Or leave me crazy ever after I don't know how to be alone I don't know how to be alone Don't know how to be alone Today you're gonna leave just like you did the day before Stay (stay, stay) Everything is wrong without you Stay (stay, stay) My whole world's a wreck Oh, will you save me now (save me now) Or leave me crazy ever after
