Delivering a dynamic body of work, multi-platinum alt-pop visionary BENEE takes flight with the release of her anxiously-awaited sophomore album, Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles, out now.
Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles features the New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter’s expansive and entrancing style, blending unshakable pop hooks into a lively sonic patchwork of alternative, electronic, and indie.
Regarding the album, she candidly shares, “The world right now is at a cultural turning point; it feels as though we are on a precipice…all we have understood and accepted about humanity and our world order seem to be on the verge of dissolution. In a post-COVID reality, the rapid rise of AI, environmental disasters and the global rise in authoritarianism has left many of us in
shock. The ground moves beneath our feet, and we can feel emotionally paralyzed. Ur an Angel I’m Just Particles is a deep dive into existential dread, where love, identity and meaning slip through your fingers like sand. Each song grapples with the weight of existence. Feeling too small in a world too big, questioning whether connection is real or just another fleeting illusion. There’s a restless urgency here, a longing to escape yet nowhere to run, as the lines blur between self-destruction and survival, euphoria and emptiness. The songs unravel like diary
entries, tracing the cycles of obsession, heartbreak and fleeting ecstasy, all while wrestling with our inner demons and the fear of disappearing into the noise. It’s an album for the sleepless, the over-thinkers, those staring into the void and wondering if it’s staring back.”
