These Two Windows Tracklist
These Two Windows is the debut studio album of singer and songwriter Alec Benjamin, due to be released on May 29, 2020.
Alec first announced the album on June 7, 2019 via Twitter saying:
I’m making a new album and I’m so excited :)
On December 17, 2019 he took to social media once more to express his feelings about this project:
I worked harder on this debut album than anything I’ve ever done in my entire life.
The album title and release date were revealed on January 21, 2020 via Alec’s Instagram, along with his North American tour, after being teased several times on social media.
Although the album was originally scheduled for release on April 3rd, the release date was pushed back to May 29th. This change was announced via pinned comments on his tour demo of “Older” and the string version of “Mind is a Prison.” He said:
there are some finishing touches that i wanted to make that weren’t ready on time. I want to make sure i give you all the best album that i possibly can. i hope you understand. love, Alec.
The first promotional single for the project was “Mind is a Prison,” released on December 12, 2019, followed by “Demons” and “Oh My God,” each with just a month of difference.
On February 13, 2020, he released the album tracklist on both Twitter and Instagram, also including a link to pre-save the album.

What has the artist said about the making of this album?
In an interview, Alec stated that he had been writing a lot of songs while being on his Caught In The Middle tour. Not all of them will make it on the album though. The artist described the difficulty of performing concerts and writing songs in between as a challenge sometimes:
You don’t have as many life experiences […] and so it’s hard to come up with things to write about.
A few songs were written by Alec alone in his room but when working with others, it was mostly with the same two people: Alex Hope and Scott Harris, two very well-known song writers.
They kinda just let me talk about the things that I wanted to talk about.
Compared to his previous album Narrated for You, the songs were written “much closer to the release than the last.”
And this project is a little more mature.

How did Alec describe the album's tracks?
An August 2019 Idolator interview quotes Alec saying:
I think the subject matter of the songs is a little bit more mature. It’s pretty much the same except maybe the production is a step up.
