BENEE Releases New Song “Green Honda”
New Zealand singer-songwriter Stella Rose Bennett, aka BENEE released a new song “Green Honda” on February 8, 2023 via Republic Records.
The song is inspired by her car Honda Integra. The car featured on the 2019 EP “Stella & Steve” cover.
BENEE worked with two producers Elvira Anderfjärd and Luka Kloser on the track in Los Angeles.
The track was written by Stella Rose Bennett, Elvira Anderfjärd, and Luka Kloser.
The accompanying music video was directed by Eliot Charof and AA, who filmed in Lancaster, California.
BENEE said of the song, “It was such a refreshing experience to be in the studio writing with two other young women. There is so much that you just don't need to explain when you're working with your true peers. It's intuitive. They just get it, and that's amazing. Green Honda was quite a light-hearted song at first, and some parts just flowed immediately. I headed straight to Europe on tour after the writing session, so I had to go back and forth with Elvira and Luka to get the production just right.”- Q_z2WgAEoBQ
She continued, “I wanted the energy of the song to capture the idea I had of writing a song about knowing where you're at and what you need to say and not being afraid. There is a personal history to the Green Honda story… my green Honda was my first car, passed on to me by my grandmother when she gave up driving. I call him 'Steve', and he's on the cover of my 'STELLA & STEVE' EP. We've had lots of adventures together.”
She added, “The song is the “I'm f***ing over you” song you didn't know you needed and says everything you wish you had said to your ex. From the top, she declares, “You were a waste of fucking time,” before doubling down with, “I pull up in my green Honda to tell ya that I don't want ya!”- source : Apple Music
