BENEE details second album, Ur An Angel I’m Just Particles
Los Angeles-based artist BENEE has announced her second studio album, Ur An Angel I’m Just Particles, alongside the release of her new single, "Cinnamon".
"I wrote ‘Cinnamon’ with my friend Ryan Raines, who is an incredible producer. We made it about a year ago, and I have loved the song from the start. I’m so stoked to be sharing it with the world, it means a lot to me," BENEE explains.
"I wrote it about moving to LA and feeling a little bit lost in the chaos, like everything was falling apart. 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.’ I got my friend Sora to play the cello in the bridge, which I LOVE. I cry sometimes when I listen to that part. And it’s such a fun song to perform live!"
"Cinnamon" arrives on the heels of her single, "Off The Rails", which was released earlier this year. Speaking of the full-length, BENEE shares, “I’ve been working on this for about three years now, and I’m so happy to finally be releasing my second album! I worked so hard on this and had a really clear story for the album. Over time, it really started to make sense, and I’m so proud of it—it means the world to me!
Ur An Angel I’m Just Particles, will be released on 7 November via Republic Records, and is available to pre-order now.
