BENEE is the dreamy voice of a disaffected generation, breaking through in 2020 with Supalonely, her irresistible, four billion streaming alt-pop banger that practically defined the pandemic experience. Twenty-three-year-old Stella Bennett mixes her deeply heartfelt reflections on life in suburban Auckland, New Zealand, with offbeat and often whimsical lyrical encounters with zombies and snails, all produced with a technicolour ear for cooked beats and unpredictable hooks.
A fervent online following and been drawn to BENEEās two intriguing EP releases, Fire On Marzz and Stella and Steve before her guest-packed, yet highly personal album, Hey u x was released at the tail end of 2020.
Lychee debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 14 March 2022. It has been in the Top 40 Albums for two weeks with a highest position of #13. There are four albums by BENEE in the Top 40 Albums.
