STELLA & STEVE is BENEE’s second EP, released less than five months after debut EP FIRE ON MARZZ.
During her October 2019 interview with DC Music Review, BENEE alluded to her the EP, mentioning that it would include a track featuring fellow New Zealander Jack Berry. Upon the release of “Monsta” on November 1, it was revealed that BENEE’s sophomore EP, STELLA & STEVE would drop later that month.
The EP also includes October single “Find an Island” and another collaborative track, this time featuring American Gus Dapperton.
During a Billboard interview in October 2019, BENEE explained who “Steve” was:
I call everything Steve. Since I was little, I’d go on, like, holiday and call hermit crabs Steve. And I still do. I’ll name a snail Steve. Everything is called Steve in my world. My car is also called Steve.
Stella is BENEE’s birth name.
Yes! The EP is certified as Gold by RMNZ.
