bennytheghost‘s explosive new track, “Animal” features KiNG MALA and takes one on a sonic expedition through a realm imbued with dark comedy, self-reflection, and incisive commentary on society. The song is a shift in Benny’s artistic direction. One that finds him embracing a gritty aesthetic that harmonises humour with a palpable sense of impending chaos. Marking a bold departure from his earlier indie-pop sound, “Animal” heralds the dawn of a new era in bennytheghost’s musical journey.
Sonically, “Animal” combines elements of dark pop and indie rock. The track’s dark, driving beats, and haunting melodies set the stage for Benny’s biting lyricism that calls out society’s obsession with money and power. The line, “You crave sophistication but you’re just an animal,” hits hard as it taps into the raw reality of greed and capitalist desires, creating a track that feels both cathartic and thought-provoking.
With humour woven into its eerie atmosphere, “Animal” offers a unique listening experience that is equal parts unsettling and relatable. Blending dark themes with infectious energy, “Animal” is a dark and unflinching look at society’s animalistic side and a track that is impossible to ignore.
