In an interview with the NZ Herald, the singer-songwriter revealed some of the big-name collaborations set to appear on the album, including Grimes, Lily Allen and Flo Milli.

“Oh my goodness, I still don’t quite believe that they’re all going to be on it, because I’m such a huge fan of all of their work,” she told the publication.

As reported by the NZ Herald, the album is also to feature singles released this year, including ‘Snail’ and ‘Night Garden’ with Kenny Beats and Bakar.

In addition, BENEE’s viral 2019 hit ‘Supalonely’ with Gus Dapperton will also reportedly appear on the album.

The release of ‘Hey u x’ follows BENEE’s two previous 2019 EPs, ‘Fire On Marzz’ and ‘Stella & Steve’.
