BENE

+ Announces
Australian Headline Shows!

“…excellently-brewed concoction of R&B and pop music, and the fact it’s come from an artist like 18 year old Bene makes it even more exciting.”
– TRIPLE J
“a slick, funk-fuelled pop number with the washed-out nostalgia of 80s funk-pop brought forward into the future”
– PILERATS
“I just like to put things into one of two categories—good or bad—and this song definitely falls in the former, nothing slack about it.”
– MONSTER CHILDREN

To celebrate the announcement of her debut Australian shows in February 2019, BENE today released an accompanying video for her runaway single, ‘Soaked’. Concocted by BENE and director Taylor Mansfield, this slapstick short tale filled with alter-egos and hijinks follows previous single ‘Tough Guy’ from 2017. Bringing her charm and character to Australia, she will perform at Melbourne’s The Workers Club on February 15th 2019 and Sydney’s Lansdowne on February 16th 2019.
From Grey Lynn in Auckland via the same studio that unearthed talents including Lorde and Broods, 18-year-old BENE has already made an impression with her slacker funk and indie-RnB style that gets stuck in your head after just one listen. Noticed by producer Petit Biscuit earlier in the year, she appeared on his recent Triple J ‘Like A Version’, taking on vocals for his original track ‘Problems’. On top of that, she’s set to make her debut festival appearance at Laneway Festival in New Zealand in January 2019.
Discovered through self-recorded Soundcloud covers that showcased her top level vocal delivery, BENE quickly got the attention of producer Josh Fountain of Leisure; and has since been recording with him at Golden Age, creating a bunch more tasty tracks for release in coming months.
