Benee — “Happen To Me”

Benee’s latest references her mental health journey, which she recently told Uproxx is a theme on her upcoming album: “I think with this album, I haven’t really held back on experimenting with genres and even lyrics.

Nine Inch Nails just got inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and to celebrate, St. Vincent decided to cover “Piggy.” Calling the track one of her NIN favorites, Annie Clark said of it, “When I took this song apart to cover it, it took me a long time to really understand the immensity of the groove. It’s a dark, industrial reggae. Muscular, but never as distorted as you imagined it when you think of it in your head. […] They made a complicated thing seem easy and made big, bold sonic choices.”

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
