This a thread for discussing New Zealand breakout alternative pop singer BENEE.
She released her debut single "Tough Guy" in 2017, "Soaked" followed in 2018 as the lead single to her debut EP "Fire on Marzz" which was released in June 2019.
The single was her first chart success and went #14 in her home country and was #26 on their year end chart.
In November 2019 she released her second EP titled "Stella & Steve".
"Glitter" from her first EP went on to become a sleeper hit in NZ in early 2020, peaking at #3. (#20 in AU)
She then released "Supalonely" as her next single which was picked up by TikTok and is currently growing into a global smash peaking at #2 in NZ, it's currently #58 on the Hot 100 and #22 on the Pop chart.
She's currently working on more new music and could potentially be plotting her debut album for a 2020 release.
I first discovered BENEE through "Soaked" in early 2019 and was reintroduced to her by the end of the year through "Find An Island" and went on to enjoy "Glitter" and get obsessed with her whole discography (though short)
What I like about her is her attitude and super unique style. The instruments are used very interestingly and sound amazing, her voice is beautiful, the melodies are haunting and her lyrics are actually very clever!
My favorites: "Supalonely", "Glitter", "Find An Island", "Wishful Thinking", "Monsta"
Check out her discography and share your thoughts!
