Ben Platt - RAIN [Official Video]

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.

Notice how he's dancing in the rain with JEANS on? Now that's talent

[emmymatt]

The singing
The way he carries himself
His DANCING!
Are you kidding me?

[AnnaWoods]

I, too, regularly burst into passionate choreography and abandon my car when it rains

[richardspivey]

Dance like nobody's watching....because its when we think we're alone we are our true to ourselves.

[abbyburke]

Notice how he stopped the car before texting? We love a man who sets good examples

[lindsayshimizu]

the song maybe rain, but those dance moves are fire

[minamLOVEsiwon]

Director: How much dancing do you want in this video?
Ben: Yas

[MackenzieLynnYouTube]

You can tell he had a blast shooting this ❤️

[barcyb]

Can radios please play a Ben Platt song??? Specifically this one???

[aliasgarjairaj]

Re-watching the other music videos on loop is the only acceptable way to prepare

[aliasgarjairaj]

From Benji to Payton, from Dear Evan Hansen to selling out Radio City, we are and will always be incredibly proud of you Ben :)

[Miki-jnvr]

Ben has literally created an album with no bad songs... how does one do this

[emmawasilewski]

So when he sings and dances in public is “historic” and “amazing” but when I do it it’s “weird” and “embarrassing”

[helenak]

The high pitched scream that just came out of my mouth is the only acceptable response to a new Ben Platt video

[SeanTran]

*yes, I can relate to trespassing a closed convenient store while doing the most extra and awesome choreography*

[lifeislyrical]

I love that the music video is such a clever mashup of so many different iconic dance moves!

[blythegouker]

If a n y o n e else did this dance it would be dorky. And yet Ben makes it look s o good.

[helenak]

I did not realize that he was such a talented dancer this man is too perfect

[latiremo]

imagine being a store owner and one morning you notice that your shop has been broken into so you check the security cameras and you see a man bursting into your shop and starts dancing for 30 seconds and then leaves

Played this song for a friend who is 72 years of age and you could see the years melt away while listening to "Rain". Song over and his response, "We need more songs like this playing on the radio.". And I agree!! 🙂❤
