Australian alt-pop prodigy Benedict has released two Scratch Massive remixes of her July single ‘Warzone’, elevating the already electric essence of the original track. Channeling nostalgic 80s dance-pop, the remixes are injected with kinetic beats, pulsating melodies and Benedict’s haunting falsetto. Her lyrics allude to the battle of human relationships, making this release an irresistible electro-pop floor-filler with the right dose of catharsis.
Speaking of the meaning behind the track, Benedict revealed: “My single ‘Warzone’ is about many different relationships we have over time. Relationships with partners, friendships, family, government, religion. Learning the paradigms of these things and how they can change very quickly from positive to negative. Trusting and loving when you only receive narcissism and gaslighting in return. Some relationships are warzones that can break us down mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is about the loneliness and pain that you take on then healing from past hurts and breathing your truth. As each human is unique and special it is about stepping out and trusting your heart and your goodness and fighting for your life. To me the most important thing is to become stronger and be your true self no matter what the consequences and live in your full truth as well as love others for their differences and unique selves.”
Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Benedict hails from a musical family in Melbourne, and finds her inspirations in some of the greats: David Bowie, Madonna and Prince to name a few. Although she has many influences, Benedict has managed to craft a captivating and refreshingly original sound. Her 2019 debut single ‘Oh Fool’ made the Top 10 releases of the year on renowned online music magazine TONEDEAF. She released ‘Warzone’ in July 2020, produced by Dean Tuza. And now with the magnetic Scratch Massive remixes, Benedict is a talent poised for big things.
