New Zealand indie pop artist Benee has unveiled their new single “Snail” today.
Written after New Zealand re-opened after lockdown, “Snail” finds Benee working with frequent collaborator Josh Fountain. The track stems from the artist’s interest in snails. In a statement, Benee said:
“When we were in lockdown, I was fascinated by snails. There wasn’t really a lot to be doing, so I would spend a lot of time outside looking at snails and would think about how they’re doing their own little thing and they’re all free. I just played around with the idea of being kind of like a snail and how I come out in the rain. Being stuck inside because of COVID, it’s kind of my lockdown song.”
The lyric video for the track can be seen below. “Snail” is available for stream and purchase here.
