+ SUPALONELY CONTINUES TO SOAR UP THE CHARTS WORLDWIDE
May 06, 2020
Indie pop sensation BENEE, who just celebrated her 20th birthday and already holds close to an astounding 23 million monthly listeners on Spotify unveils a dreamy and soulful recording of her smash-hit single Supalonley, which is stripped back in both name and nature and officially titled Lowenly.
Lowenly was made the night that New Zealand went into lockdown with producer Josh Fountain, cut at Golden Age Studio in the last few hours before the midnight curfew.
Talking about Lownely, BENEE says “I decided that I wanted to show a different side to the song seeing as when I wrote it, I was actually at a pretty low point. I wanted to fully commit to making a really sad song (.: My guitar player Tiare came up with the guitar parts which I loved! I wanted to create a slow sad indie vibe and she did a really awesome job of this!
We ended up getting it mixed by Dilip Harris in the UK who does a lot of work for King Krule (who I love) I thought he would really complement the style of the song”.
