Ben Platt releases a new song titled RAIN. Available for download and streaming, the new song is most definitely a dance pop vibe. “I hope it brings you dance & catharsis,” Ben tweeted. “May I suggest you blast it.” Platt signed with Atlantic Records and released his debut solo album Sing to Me Instead earlier this year, following it up with a multi-city tour.
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.
Platt will also be seen next month leading an all-star cast in the much-anticipated new series, The Politician, produced by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan (Glee) and co-starring Jessica Lange, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Zoey Deutch. Co-executive produced by Platt – who recently appeared alongside his co-stars in an exclusive cover feature in The Hollywood Reporter – The Politician premieres Friday, September 27th on Netflix.
