Benee may have written \u201cSupalonely\u201d about a toxic relationship, but it\u2019s evolved into a perfect alt-pop quarantine anthem. The 20-year-old New Zealander, real name Stella Rose Bennett, dropped the track late last year; last month, it caught fire on TikTok, comforting those in lockdown with its lyrics about isolation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I fucked up, I\u2019m just a loser\/Shouldn\u2019t be with ya, guess I\u2019m a quitter,\u201d she sings in the opening lines. \u201cWhile you\u2019re out there drinking, I\u2019m just here thinking\/\u2019Bout where I should\u2019ve been.\u201d The highlight of the track is Benee\u2019s throaty groan over the sound of glass clinking together, before diving straight into the irresistible chorus: \u201cI been lonely\/Mm, aah, yeah.\u201d Isn\u2019t that how we all feel right now?<\/p>\n

Benee is one of a few artists \u2014 like Doja Cat and Dua Lipa \u2014 who\u2019ve been digging into Seventies-tinted music trends with lo-fi disco beats lately. Her kind pairs particularly well with the 1975\u2019s \u201cIf You\u2019re Too Shy (Let Me Know)<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elton John is among the people who\u2019s caught on to her surprisingly upbeat track, praising Benee<\/a> as the \u201cnext global smash.\u201d The song landed at Number One on Rolling Stone\u2019s Trending 25<\/a> Chart in early March and peaked on the RS 100 at Number 41<\/a>. It\u2019s a strong start for Benee\u2019s career, making her an artist for pop fans to keep an eye on \u2014 while keeping \u201cSupalonely\u201d on loop.<\/p>\n
