BENEE's dreamy alt-pop mixes her deeply heartfelt reflections on life in suburban Auckland, New Zealand with offbeat and often whimsical lyrical twists, all produced with a technicolor ear for cooked beats and unpredictable hooks. The 23-year-old broke through in 2020 with "Supalonely," her global hit with 4 billion streams, and her follow-up Hey u x debut album was a vibrant musical world with guests ranging from Grimes and Lily Allen to Gus Dapperton and Muroki (another New Zealand teen BENEE has since signed to her own label, Olive). It was listed as one of Billboard's "25 Best Pop Albums of 2020," noting that BENEE "contemplates the woes of Gen Z with a keen ear for choruses and arrangements that oscillate between indie rock and hyperpop." Stereogum praised its "quirky but impeccably produced pop music" and Vogue called it "13 tracks of heavenly indie-alt-pop." Platinum Awards piled up around the globe, and she performed "Supalonely" -- live from New Zealand -- on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ellen, and Late Night with Seth Meyers and recorded a heartfelt live version of album opener "Happen To Me" for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In 2022, BENEE returned with her Lychee EP, with her song "Doesn't Matter" revealing the singer's journey through the emotional clatter of 2021. A hefty touring schedule followed, leading into new music in 2023 and kicking off with "Green Honda" and an incredible collab with Phoenix, Chad Hugo & Pusha T for their song "All Eyes On Me."
We paid for the meet and greet tickets and it was so so worth it! Benee was so kind, down to earth, and just an all-around great kiwi! I wish I could see her every week. Great performer as well. She doesn’t take her self to seriously, but she definitely takes her craft seriously.Love her music so much.
Her performance deserves a 5 out of 5 undisputed. So amazing! Come back to Seattle again Benee!
Benee is one of the best experiences I've had at a show for the longest time. I haven't enjoyed a show this much since Bryce Vine in February. The production quality was amazing. She was amazing. The crowd was amazing. For starters, she never once sang over her own vocals; a practice that is surprisingly quite uncommon. Her voice was, swear to God, the same as her studio voice. Pure and full. My only real complaint would be the meet and greet experience. They were behind schedule for literally no reason. Kept us lined out outside during the registration time (which is weird because we could have easily waited inside), broke their own rules about attendance, and then rushed us through the greeting process so you would only get one or two sentences with Benee before the photo. The photos were also trash as the photographer just took zoomed out,blurred photos that all require editing. I saw this same quality on multiple people's phones that were there so i know this was not an isolated incident. Rough start to the experience but wouldn't miss this show again
i had a blast ! sadly i am only 5'3 & it seemed everyone in front of me was 6' or taller but i still had a really good time
I feel like this performance was an insult for Benee's fans. Her albums are so professional and so well made, kind of the opposite of this performance. The sound was so awful and she was not even trying to pretend it wasn't a playback. I mean seriously, couldn't you at least record a version of supalonely without the male singer who wasn’t there? It was barely over an hour of her lip syncing to her albums and waiving to the audience occasionally
She was just amazing. Honestly one of the best concert I’ve been to. Her vibe, the audience, everything!! We had a blast and she is the sweetest person and extremely cool. I went by myself and had so much fun!!
My expectations were pretty high, and they were somehow still blown out of the water. From the moment Benee came out on stage I knew it'd be unlike any other performance I've seen. I've been to a LOT of concerts and this is the best show I've seen. Her connection to the audience, the band, her humor and of course her voice were all beyond amazing. Overall was a great show and I'd never miss seeing her live in my area!
It was awesome! One of the best concert ever!! The proximity with the public was just wow! It feels like it was a private concert.
