BENEE Returns with New Single 'Cinnamon' Ahead of Second Album

New song and new album: the rising star from New Zealand is paving her way to widespread success in America.
New Zealand’s BENEE is back with a fresh sound and a new chapter in her career. She just released her latest single, Cinnamon, and confirmed that her highly anticipated second full-length album, Ur An Angel I’m Just Particles, will drop on November 7th.
Cinnamon reflects a period of transition for BENEE, capturing the disorienting excitement of moving to Los Angeles. The singer opens up about feeling lost amidst the chaos:
“It felt like nothing was working. The chorus is quite ethereal and a nice let go for me. I thought, ‘Well even if everything around me has turned to shit, I’m going to stay sweet, still be kind, and attract the right kind of people.’”
The track features a delicate cello bridge played by her friend Sora, which BENEE says adds a deeply emotional layer:
“I cry sometimes when I listen to that part. And it’s such a fun song to perform live!”
The combination of her playful pop sensibility with these more introspective moments demonstrates her growth as an artist since her 2020 debut full-length album.
With Ur An Angel I’m Just Particles, BENEE seems poised to continue redefining her sound while staying true to the charm and authenticity that made her a global standout.
Fans can expect a record that balances whimsy, emotional depth, and the bold experimentation that has become her signature.
