The seven-track EP sees the New Zealander showing off a sound that’s distinctly her own.

Lychee is a lovely slice of chilled out slacker-pop ... It’s a slick yet homebrew set of songs from the New Zealander and well worth your time.

Overall I enjoyed this, I thought there were a lot of cool and really interesting production choices, especially in the back half, and the instrumental soundscapes and BENEE’s voice were often really pretty, but I’m kind of disappointed with this project. I really loved BENEE’s breakout single “Supalonely”, it was fun, catchy, infectious, and oozing with personality, and a lot of that is rarely is ever here on “Lychee”. I think BENEE ... read more

Por mais que esbanje boas ideias, 'Lychee', quarto EP de BENEE sobe o nome da Republic Records, não as consegue trabalhá-las muito bem devido aos constantes imbecilios encontrados por entre a construção de suas faixas. Dando para salvar, apenas, 'Beach Boy'... E talvez 'Never Ending'.

An absolutely amazing EP. But to me, the song that stands out the much is 'Make You Sick' which is one of the more interesting pop song I've listened to, and I love it to death. 'Make You Sick' has quickly become one of my favorite songs. Absolutely love the EP, and again, 'Make You Sick' in particular.

I love this, there are moments in this EP that scratch my head in ways I didn't know. Never Ending and Make You Sick are definitely some of her best songs
