Award-winning alternative pop artist, BENEE, is kicking off 2022 with a tasty new EP titled Lychee. Scheduled for release on Friday 4th March, the EP is filled with dreamy alt-pop mixes and deeply heartfelt reflections on life.

In typical vibrant BENEE fashion, to celebrate the release of Lychee, BENEE has teamed up with Spark & Spotify to offer her Kiwi fans a free and safe experience where they can enjoy a visual and audio display of the new EP from the comfort of their own car.

On Friday 4th and Saturday 5th March, fans who have pre-booked a timeslot will head along to Shed 10 in Auckland where they will drive into the all encompassing Lychee experience, fans will listen to the EP on Spotify from start to finish while they enjoy a visual experience of unseen BENEE footage, plus receive an exclusive take-home BENEE keepsake from the event itself.

Spark customers will have early access to book their free timeslot from 8am on Friday 25th February, with remaining timeslots available from 8am Saturday 26th February.

The drive-in experience will be a New Zealand music industry first. After countless disruptions to the music scene over the past two years, the Lychee experience aims to provide a vibrant and uplifting space for fans to come together and celebrate - while also keeping safety the priority.

All the information on the Lychee EP Drive-In Experience can be found here.

Spark customers can head to www.spark.co.nz/music to get their early access code.

For Lychee, BENEE headed out of lockdown in her New Zealand home to work on sessions in LA, which formed the basis of a new set of music she says is coming from a “great creative space” despite the pressures of what has been “the craziest time in all our lives.” The EP features tracks penned with Greg Kurstin, Kenny Beats, and Rostam in LA. Back in New Zealand, she finished up three tracks with her regular collaborator Josh Fountain, including the already-released “Doesn’t Matter,” which has gathered over 5.5 million Spotify streams and 400K YouTube views on the music video (co-directed by BENEE).

BENEE is also looking forward to a 2022 headline world tour. The North American leg kicks off on May 31st in Montreal and makes stops in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and more. BENEE will also be performing at The Governors Ball and Bonnaroo this summer. See the full list of dates below and at www.beneemusic.com
