BENEE is set to release her second album, ‘Ur An Angel I’m Just Particles’, on 7th November via Republic Records, and has shared a new single, ‘Cinnamon’.
The New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based artist wrote and recorded the album while continuing a run of activity that has included releasing ‘Animal’ and ‘Sad Boiii’ and touring with Tate McRae, Olivia Rodrigo, and Wallows.
“I’ve been working on this for about three years now, and I’m so happy to finally be releasing my second album! I worked so hard on this and had a really clear story for the album. Over time, it really started to make sense, and I’m so proud of it—it means the world to me!”, BENEE says.
She continues, “I wrote ‘Cinnamon’ with my friend Ryan Raines, who is an incredible producer. We made it about a year ago, and I have loved the song from the start. I’m so stoked to be sharing it with the world, it means a lot to me. I wrote it about moving to LA and feeling a little bit lost in the chaos, like everything was falling apart. It felt like nothing was working. The chorus is quite ethereal and a nice let go for me. I thought, ‘Well even if everything around me has turned to shit, I’m going to stay sweet, still be kind, and attract the right kind of people.’ I got my friend Sora to play the cello in the bridge, which I LOVE. I cry sometimes when I listen to that part. And it’s such a fun song to perform live!”
