Benji Brown confronts inner chaos on ‘Demonz’: a glossy, gut-hitting pop confession rooted in raw vulnerability.
On ‘Demonz’, UK pop provocateur Benji Brown dives deep into the shadows of his psyche with unflinching honesty. The track is a sleek, emotional storm layered in ’00s pop nostalgia and stitched together with crisp R&B production that signals a daring shift in his sonic evolution.
Building on the emotional resonance of earlier releases like Yesterday’s Love and Goodbye, ‘Demonz’ is his most introspective offering yet. The single plays like a midnight confessional: hook-heavy, beat-driven, but steeped in a tension between light and dark. With vulnerable lyricism and vocals that walk the line between fragile and fierce, Brown captures the spiralling chaos of mental health struggles and transforms it into something cathartic and connective.
“I started this process with the melody,” he says, “I wanted to lead with emotion.” It shows. From its haunting synths to its soul-baring lyrics, ‘Demonz’ feels less like a pop song and more like a reckoning – one that resists polish in favour of truth. Benji’s willingness to sit with discomfort, to write the hard lines and sing them anyway, makes this track hit harder than most.
Now based in London and growing into his sound, Benji Brown is making space for shared feeling. ‘Demonz’ is both a mirror and a release, proof that pop can still wound and heal in the same breath.
