Out now, I love how every song sounds different
My favorite after one listen is definitely Winter, it's so moody

On my second listen, I notice she and Lorde have very distinct Kiwi accents. Maybe it's because both of them mostly sing in a lower register but I thought it was interesting.

After a few more listens, I can definitely say this is a great album
The songs are all so different from each other yet so BENEE each time uuh
There are too many highlights, "Happen To Me" has an amazing vibe and I love the guitars, "Same Effect" is beautifully written and also very haunting, "Kool" is like a sequel to "Supalonely" totally catchy and fun (+ Pop radio friendly) with a kool music video
"Winter" is the best song probably, the melody is beautiful and the production is so WOW!
"Night Garden" has only been growing on me more and more since its release
"All The Time" is another one that is just total chill and the collab is great
"If I Get To Meet You" is just hauntingly beautiful
What a great record! She deserves more recognition
I believe in a week from now my faves will be totally different

All-around amazing album. I still love "Night Garden", but "Happen To Me" is something else. Those guitars make it sound ethereal, and vaguely late 90s to early 00s indie pop. A perfect mix of Goo Goo Dolls and All Saints.

I decided to check this out due to your rave reviews. Love most of the album; it’s been played almost daily for the past week or so. I find it difficult to rate my favs as I love them all equally.
The only tracks I don’t love are:
Sheesh
Snail
A Little While
Night Garden

I think BENEE is my favourite new artist this year. Her EPs are great along with her album. I bought all three yesterday. I liked Supalonely, but I didn’t think her music would be so good and versatile. ❤️

I liked Supalonely, but I didn’t think her music would be so good and versatile. ❤️ Right? The bouncy pop sugar of “Supalonely” didn’t prepare me for darkness of songs like “Happen To Me” and “Blu” or the sass of “Plain” and “Find an Island”. It’s impressive. |

Ugh. I keep forgetting to check out her album. Need to listen to see if it makes the cut for my 2020 favorites!
