BENEE
Terminal West — Atlanta, GA

BENEE is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who makes distinctly unpolished pop music that somehow feels more honest because of it. She rose to attention in the late 2010s with bedroom-recorded tracks that sounded like demos but were actually just her style—lo-fi production, conversational vocals, and melodies that don't announce themselves but stick around anyway. Supalonely, her collaboration with Gus Dapperton, became her biggest moment, a song that captured a specific kind of millennial isolation without trying too hard. Her albums Stella and Hey U x explore themes of self-doubt, connection, and the weird limbo of early adulthood, all delivered with the kind of vocal detachment that reads as either deeply sincere or deeply ironic depending on your mood. She doesn't make songs that demand anything from you. They're just there, existing in the space between confession and shrug.

BENEE's shows are quiet in a way that feels intentional, not like she's lost control of the room. Crowds lean in rather than jump around. She's chatty between songs, self-deprecating, makes jokes about her own music like she knows how strange it is. The energy builds slowly if at all. People seem to appreciate just being in the room with her.

Known for Night Garden, Supalonely, Snail, Happen to Me, Geniuses

BENEE played Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park in Atlanta on August 19, 2024, with a 10-song set that balanced the hits against newer material. She opened with Kool and worked through Soaked and Beach Boy before landing on Sad Boiii and Wishful Thinking. Green Honda was a deep-cut highlight, and she closed with Supalonely, which remains the song that put her on the map. The Chastain Park amphitheatre is a lovely outdoor room, and BENEE's breezy indie-pop suited the summer setting.

Atlanta's had a stranglehold on rap and hip-hop for decades, but the city's pop landscape has been quietly diversifying. There's real appetite here for the kind of genre-blending indie-pop that BENEE does—artists who treat production with the same weight as songwriting. The city that raised Future and Outkast has room for artists thinking differently about what pop can sound like.

Stay in Buckhead or Virginia Highland for the neighborhood feel — tree-lined streets, good restaurants, walkable enough to actually enjoy yourself. For dinner, Sotto Sotto does excellent Italian in a no-fuss basement setting, or Rathbun's for steak if you want something more formal. Spend an afternoon at the High Museum of Art, then grab drinks at The Eagle, which has the kind of dark-wood-and-whiskey vibe that actually works. Catch a Braves game at Truist Park if timing lines up. The food scene here is legitimately good without being try-hard about it.
