Night Garden
Returning with her first single since TikTok exploded over ‘Supalonely’ with Gus Dapperton, BENEE is back for ‘Night Garden’ alongside Kenny Beats and Bakar. The young New Zealander delivers a haunting track that’s very far from the CBeebies’ TV show In The Night Garden…
As collaborations go, this is quite the cross-over. Camden’s Bakar is an indie revivalist known for blending elements of rap, rock and soul into afterhours storytelling masterpieces. US production powerhouse Kenny Beats typically drops hard hip hop tunes, but brings an eerie funk beat to both vocalists on ‘Night Garden’.
From spooky stalkers to dating Dracula, BENNE and Bakar sing about their fears of befriending their demons. Zane Lowe debuted the tune on his Beats 1 show, leading to BENEE being crowned Apple Music’s Up Next, and the first Kiwi artist to do so. These are exciting times for the singer, with even more eyes watching than ever before.
