WHAT IT IS: This 20-year-old New Zealand native went from making pizzas to bursting into the indie-pop scene after her breakout hit, “Soaked,” went gold in Australia and platinum in her home country. BENEE’s 2019 EPs, FIRE ON MARZZ and STELLA & STEVE, produced singles “Glitter” and “Supalonely” f/Gus Dapperton; the latter becoming a viral TikTok sensation and earning 175m+ global combined streams. With her groove-drenched sound and quirky lyrical style, this pop chameleon pulls in the listener track after track.
