Words: Ellie Ward
About to hit the the UK (well, London) next month for a handful of shows, 19-year-old, Auckland-based indie pop artist Bene returns with her latest single, 'Evil Spider', released last week.
Coming on the back of her breakout single 'Soaked', the rising New Zealander has also announced her debut EP is set for release on June 28.
“‘Evil Spider’ is about wanting someone that’s already taken," she says. "When writing the song, I didn’t wanna make the lyrics too obviously evil, so I thought I’d turn myself into the spider, making it a lil lighter and making the song revolve around me weaving webs to lure the person, catch ‘em like a spider then reel them in. I remember humming ‘Incy Wincy Spider’ in the studio, which inspired the playful vibe of the song.”
