BENEE has shared a brand new tune titled “Underwater.” The monitor seems on the alt-pop artist’s upcoming sophomore album Ur An Angel I’m Simply Particles, out November seventh on Republic Information.
“I wrote ‘Underwater’ about that disconnect between how effortless you seem and how heavy you really feel,” BENEE shares. “I think a lot of people will recognise themselves in that.”
BENEE will rejoice her album launch with a present at Los Angeles’ The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Endlessly on November seventh.
“Underwater” follows the beforehand launched singles “Cinnamon,” “Off The Rails,” “Animal,” and “Sad Boiii.”
Upon saying the album with the discharge of “Cinnamon,” BENEE shared that she has “been working on this for about three years now, and I’m so happy to finally be releasing my second album!” The singer continued, “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!”
“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,” stated the New Zealand-born, Los Angeles-based artist. “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.”
She continues, “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.”
Ur An Angel I’m Simply Particles follows BENEE’s 2022 EP Lychee, which contained hits like “Doesn’t Matter” and “Seashore Boys. She launched her debut album, Hey U X, in 2020.
BENEE lately recorded a canopy of New Radicals’ “You Get What You Give” for the 2025 MTV VMAs.
