PRE-SAVE LYCHEE EP HERE
New Zealand alternative pop star BENEE presents the music video for her dreamy new single Beach Boy out now—watch HERE. Beach Boy heralds the arrival of her much-anticipated Lychee EP on March 4th.
Once again, BENEE delivers a larger-than-life cinematic visual (directed by Rory Pippan, creator of her hit Supalonely video), her widescreen vision filled with BitchCraft and escapades with a vampire boyfriend.
Beach Boy, which was produced by Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia, Beck), has already earned widespread critical acclaim from around the globe. In addition to plugs from Clash Magazine, Consequence, DORK, MTV News, NME, PAPER Magazine, Stereogum, and more, UPROXX dubbed it “a breezy indie-pop tune,” and Ones To Watch called it “one of those songs that you just can’t help but press ‘replay’ when it’s done.”
BENEE says:
“I’d just shot a dreamy beachy vid for “Doesn’t Matter”, so I wanted a complete juxtaposition. Rory directed my Supalonely video and I was super keen to work with him again….albeit remotely (we were in NZ, he directed from Australia). I’m really happy with how it turned out. Hope you luv!”
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 beneemusic.com.
