Overall, listening to hey u x feels a little like glancing at letters sent between friends, all of whom are still figuring out their way in the world, but are having a whole heap of fun in the process.

‘Hey u x’ is the sound of a pop star who’s resolutely herself and, ultimately, there’s nothing cooler than that.

The 20-year-old New Zealander’s charming debut is a patchwork of genre-hopping songs with a fragile edge.

Hey U X is assured, confident pop from a name that’s bound to be big in the not too distant future. To the names of Lorde and Billie Eilish, you can now add Benee.

Its main achievements lie in its genre-blending: BENEE’s seamless mix of hip-hop vocal lines, drum rhythms and retro genres will undoubtedly foreground what will haunt the future of music.

Damn,that cover looks like that time my dog tried to eat my arts project,spat it out and then took a shit on it, beautiful is all i'm saying. None of us can take a bigger shit on it then the artist who made it for her.
BENEE is the prime example of an actually good artist that blew off of TikTok,and even if that's the least respectable way to blow up,i can still give credit where it's due. Her debut album, "Hey x u" is a really strong debut,with powerful vocals harmonizing and ... read more
