BENEE Premieres New Song “Off The Rails” on BBC Radio 1
Los Angeles-based New Zealand singer-songwriter BENEE premiered a new song “Off The Rails” on BBC Radio 1's Future Artists with Sian Eleri.
The song will appear on her upcoming sophomore album, which is set to be released before November 2025.
The album is her first LP in five years since the 2020 album “Hey U X”.
BENEE told Sian Eleri about the album, “I'm waiting for one feature right now. But it's like done, and it's coming out before November. There are a couple, a few. I'm so excited. I think people will really like the artists on it.”
On the new song, she worked with producers Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd again. Both producers produced her 2023 song “Green Honda”,
The accompanying music video was directed by Bedroom.
BENEE said of the song, “It's an aggressive, angry, chaotic product of my navigating the current state of the world and channeling my existential dread. It's feminine rage—sick of being pushed around and embracing the chaos.”- She continued, “Luka and Elvira are two incredible producers in the music industry right now. First we made 'Green Honda', and then 'Off The Rails'. I felt this energy was really needed and perfectly places a certain tone in my storyline. It honestly was one of the few studio sessions I've ever done with only women, which brings such a different creative energy. I felt so comfortable really saying anything. In a typically male-dominated industry, I had a different connection with them. We had a lot of fun making this song and I love it, I hope listeners do too!”

BENEE told Sian Eleri about the working with Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, “I know when I got into my first session with them, it just felt like this different kind of level of comfort with them. I don't know I feel like the music that I make with them is a little more unhinged. In a way, it's kind of got that like feminine rage that we can kind of relate.”
