get tickets to mwaaa live from Spark Arena on October 17th @ 9:20pm NZT: benee.lnk.to/livestream Directed by Taylor Mansfield Made with the support of NZ On Air
It's the recycling of the acid jazz movement from the early 90s, M People, Brand New Heavies, Galliano, Young Disciples, etc. Listen to them and you'll understand the answer to your question from this young New Zealand gal...
I get lost in my imagination when I listen to certain type of music. I feel like I travel to another world and I end up thinking about how blessed I truly am.
I'm older, in my 40s, heard Supalonley by accident, liked it well enough, listened to a few more of her tunes and wow, this one is good! Reminds me of the vibe I would get listening to Sade in the 80s. I realize that this is a weird comparison.
I heard this on H&M and glad I did, the song is just marvellous, your voice, that slap bass line in the background, the scratchy guitar sounds... it's all perfect, you definitely have a future in the music, I hope one day you get the fame you deserve.
I remembered when supalonely blowed up on TikTok and from there she became legendary for me with all of her songs that were new to me and I hope she gets that spotlight and attention she really deserves
Thank GOD for Tik Tok introducing me to Supalonely, now I am absolutely obsessed with this girl. She’s amazing, and in my opinion she literally doesn’t have a single bad song tbh! All bangers, glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves!
I work at New World (a New Zealand supermarket) and they have a playlist of music they play. This song is one of my favourite songs on that playlist and it took me ages to find till a customer helped me with the song when I asked a co-worker “what’s this song called” that was playing. I haven’t stopped playing it ever since. She also has a Maōri version to this song sung by her too her voice is so amazing!
I liked the tempo of this music, if this had been done in britain, would hit the playlists. Greetings from Turkey. ( I found that accidentally in CZcams while searching info about New zealand.)
The Morse code at the front of this is supposed to say "BENEE/SOAKED" twice. However, there is an error in dit/dah spacing and it says: "BENE/SOAKEKSENE/SOAK" instead. So there is some random trivia for you from a ham radio operator who uses Morse code quite a bit. :) 73 de N2OW
@@DuanesMind, That's great. Most hams probably aren't in to BENEE's music, at least in my part of the world. She's a very talented musician and I hope she has a long career. Do you like Princess Chelsea as well, by chance? I'm not sure what they put in the water in New Zealand, but the music coming from there is fantastic.
Mr Morse on his wedding night dittit dittit dittit... a POW in North Vietnam blinked in morse code while being interviewed blinking SOS.. very brave soldier RIP SIR 🙏 Admiral Jeremiah Denton... they were being starved and tortured.. he was later recognized for his bravery 🙏
@@Usul funnily enough, there's a song by Brooke Fraser (also a fellow kiwi) called "Something In the Water " 😂😂😂 I know what you mean tho, there's heaps of talent coming out of here. Six60 and Lorde being another couple of examples 😌
I found about her because CZcams recommended (suparlonely) And I have to say that algorithm sometimes is so helpful for find good music You gotta a really good voice is so melodical (I am in love with it) Send all my love and support from Perú 🇵🇪☺️🥰
I cant even explain how much I love this song! definitely a fave atm and I have listened to it sooo many times. super confused why this doesn’t have like 8 mill views :/
Idk why, this song makes me feel like slow dancing in a crowded room pretending that no one's watching while your crush is watching and you know it lol. This is such a hit!
This song, tough guy, and problems from like a version are all banger songs. I can’t wait for you to put out an EP or ideally an album. Keep up the great work Bene.
@Lord Farquaad Actually I can hear the New Zealand accent but I understand what you are saying and that's because when she's saying the words and singing along she tries to pronounce it the best she can in standard English which kinda sounds American-ish
A mi en lo personal me gusta SUPALONELY y SOAKED pero siento que necesito escuchar muchas de sus canciones para entender la cancion aunque este en ingles por cierto tengo 10 años 😁😊

This song just won the NZ Music Awards last night.
Caro D that’s right, and she got a $20 farmers voucher too.
Yeah lol
Hi is this Caro from work?
Caro 4the D granny 😂😂😂😂

Why is everyone sleeping on this girl, she hasn't got a single bad song
The name tbh . I think it might be that simple.
She has 5mil listeners on Spotify monthly
@@ultraboombean are you mad?
Yeah she definitely has bad songs
cuz she uses autotune, especially in the song "supalonely"
How can something be so upbeat and catchy while also being laid back and mellow?! Love it!
Ask the writer not the comments

OK, seriously. We need this girl to get recognized. Too many great artists get swept under the rug, and I can't bear to see her fade away.

OMG it is
Holy shit!! Now I see it
Fok I was looking for a Truman show comment ahahaha
Eve Waititi I was looking for it too!
That’s what the fuck it is!!!!! Thank you!!!
I'm older, in my 40s, heard Supalonley by accident, liked it well enough, listened to a few more of her tunes and wow, this one is good! Reminds me of the vibe I would get listening to Sade in the 80s. I realize that this is a weird comparison.
Nope not weird spot on
41 here, couldn't agree more. Supalonley, was the same song that grabbed me. Great artist.
100%
Same, I'm 53 and not wierd! We just appreciate quality and originality!
She's cool!
I feel ya dude. I think she's the Sade of GenZ.
Saw this live, omg something amazing about a room full of people singing all the words to this was so incredible! Love you benee!❤
That sounds so amazing!!
Damn her voice is so unique and powerful that it wakes up some feelings in me that I’ve never experienced before.
I heard this on H&M and glad I did, the song is just marvellous, your voice, that slap bass line in the background, the scratchy guitar sounds... it's all perfect, you definitely have a future in the music, I hope one day you get the fame you deserve.

i have been waiting for her at the grammys for years now
I heard her on Pandora 3 or 4 years ago and was blown away! Love this girls music.
Taylor's music especially in her folklore era and Benee's music really saved me, especially at my lowest and loneliest part of quarantine
Thank GOD for Tik Tok introducing me to Supalonely, now I am absolutely obsessed with this girl. She’s amazing, and in my opinion she literally doesn’t have a single bad song tbh! All bangers, glad she’s getting the recognition she deserves!

BiohChemicalz yes!
There will never be another Josephine Baker or Ruth Etting.
She's funky. I really like her sound and her vibe

Ela é muito boa mano to viciado demais

At New World, do you get free food? Ik might be a silly question but I think I might work there when I'm a bit older.
The whole entire te reo maori album is amazing! It's awesome how some many kiwi artist converted there songs to the beautiful language!

one of my favorite artists out there, so funky and smoooth❤
honestly, this girl is unable to make a bad song.
Nz is now sexiest accent in the world
*Stares at bene*
Thank you
If you can hear closely you can hear a difference in her accent between an Americans accent
She no longer Bene
@Lord Farquaad Actually I can hear the New Zealand accent but I understand what you are saying and that's because when she's saying the words and singing along she tries to pronounce it the best she can in standard English which kinda sounds American-ish
I think it's more like NZ slang aye
Im from New Zealand, and I dont think so !
Amo su música, todas las mañanas comeienzo escuchando sus temas y me hacen sentir única, tienen una esencia única. 💞😍☺️😄

This girl has talent. Love her voice and unique sound and look. Hope she goes a long way with her music.
Ooh, Ooh

Did not expect it to transform
Soaked up in my brain

These things I'm tryna say get drenched and swept away that's the truth
Soaked up in my brain
Don't know what to say
Something about you boy you soak up half my brain, yes you do
Ooh, ooh, something about you boy you soak up half my brain
You look at me like I hit you, ooh
Stole all your things then left you bruised, ooh
Look what I’ve got myself into, ooh

So true.... I heard this at warehouse and restaurants. I was stuck with this song humming whole day.
I can’t even put my finger on what this is. Some funk, r&b, pop shit that’s retro and contemporary at the same time.

Wait I'm confused..
how does this video have 100,000 views?
yet on spotify theres 10million listens
It's probably on a bunch of popular playlists and no one's following up.
I put it on repeat as i work. Don't have youtube red
Blame the fuckton of malls playing it
It has a few more now.
This song plays so much at my job it’s become the theme song
everyone who knows about benee is so lucky. like. gurl u rock
This song keeps floating in my head. There is something very attractive about the melodies.
ok but when she says “yes, you do” & “that’s the truth” 👋🏻😭❤️
Sounds taken from the song 'Cloud 9' by jamiroquai. Have a listen, also a great song and I love the reference here.
this music video couldn't be more on point for the feeling i love about this song
Something about people who have their brains soaked up, with a class hook.
