Benni releases debut ep 'Bleeding Colours' | release party 09/04 @ Gallerie Bortier, BXL
Singer-songwriter inspired by folk music icons such as Damien Rice, Daughter, and Phoebe Bridgers, Benni shapes her songs around a utopian yet deeply authentic universe that is entirely her own. Fascinating and unconventional, her voice captivates from the very first note and carries within it the power to transform painful stories into works of striking beauty.
Her magnetic presence led her to open for artists such as Coeur de Pirate, November Ultra, and Clara Ysé, to step onto the stages of the Cirque Royal, the Botanique, and the Francofolies de Spa, and to feature in showcase festivals like Fifty Lab and We Are Open. Building on this journey, Benni now unveils her highly anticipated debut EP, Bleeding Colours, on [PIAS] Recordings.
A true colorist of emotion, she possesses a distinctive power at the core of her sensitive world: synesthesia. Letters, words, numbers, scents, feelings, people, and sounds—all assume a specific color in Benni’s eyes. This unique sense also resonates in the EP’s title, which holds a double meaning. As a canvas of these singular sensations, the seven-track record further recounts the chapters of a painful love story: one that takes over every space, gnaws at the heart, and leaves you drained. From the first declaration of love in You, to the passionate memories of Make Me Blind, and culminating in the breakup of September 20; from the wrenching solitude of Lonely, to the endless questions in All The Friends In My Head, and the bittersweet madness of Coma, before finally making peace with Queen of Cove.
Benni enchants every ear that hears her. With both feet firmly on the ground and her gaze set on the horizon, she shows no sign of stopping as she continues to brighten the world she creates.
