Multi-Platinum alt-pop visionary BENEE blends together dreamy melodies, dynamic instrumentation, experimental production, creative storytelling, and larger-than-life visuals to build a unique and irresistible world of her own. Following the initial success of her breakthrough debut EPs, the New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer emerged as a global phenomenon in 2020 with her Double-Platinum smash hit “Supalonely” feat. Gus Dapperton—solidifying BENEE as one of pop’s most distinctive voices. The viral song has amassed hundreds of millions of streams to date and set the stage for her critically acclaimed debut album, Hey u x, featuring collaborations with the likes of Grimes, Lily Allen, Flo Milli, Gus Dapperton, Kenny Beats, Bakar, and Muroki. A handful of fan favorite singles soon followed, including “Green Honda,” and “Do It Again” feat. Mallrat, which was the Official Song for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
Delivering a dynamic body of work, multi-platinum alt-pop visionary BENEE takes flight with the release of her anxiously-awaited sophomore album, Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles, out now via Republic Records.
Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles features the New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter’s expansive and entrancing style, blending unshakable pop hooks into a lively sonic patchwork of alternative, electronic, and indie. Among many highlights, she instantly captivates on her new single “Princess,” which features multi-platinum British singer, songwriter, and producer PinkPantheress. The song revolves around BENEE’s palpable creative chemistry with PinkPantheress, as their voices entwine from verse-to-verse, giving way to a chantable chorus, “Treat me like the princess that I am.” Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles is yet another boundary-pushing body of work from BENEE.
Regarding the album, she candidly shares, “The world right now is at a cultural turning point; it feels as though we are on a precipice…all we have understood and accepted about humanity and our world order seem to be on the verge of dissolution. In a post-COVID reality, the rapid rise of AI, environmental disasters and the global rise in authoritarianism has left many of us in shock. The ground moves beneath our feet, and we can feel emotionally paralyzed. Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles is a deep dive into existential dread, where love, identity and meaning slip through your fingers like sand. Each song grapples with the weight of existence. Feeling too small in a world too big, questioning whether connection is real or just another fleeting illusion. There’s a restless urgency here, a longing to escape yet nowhere to run, as the lines blur between self-destruction and survival, euphoria and emptiness. The songs unravel like diary entries, tracing the cycles of obsession, heartbreak and fleeting ecstasy, all while wrestling with our inner demons and the fear of disappearing into the noise. It’s an album for the sleepless, the over-thinkers, those staring into the void and wondering if it’s staring back.”
Tonight, BENEE will celebrate the arrival of Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles with an intimate, sold-out album release show at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles. She’s set to deliver a full set highlighted by new music, as well as fan favorites. The performance will be livestreamed on Twitch at 8:30pm PST—fans can tune in HERE.
