“ANIMAL” is a dark track that marks a new era for bennytheghost. In this song, he explores the A24 horror movie vibe coupled with humor, some self-depreciation, and healthy absurdism.
In collaboration with KiNG MALA, bennytheghost uses “ANIMAL” to comment on how the world is slowly shifting to accommodate the evil-animalistic-selfish woes of capitalism. The lyrics at the end of the chorus, “You crave sophistication but you’re just an animal”, is a call out to society for its inhumane hunger for money.

bennytheghost shares that he takes inspiration from the Gorillaz and JOJI. “I take massive inspiration from JOJI who’s [sic] songs are also incredibly dramatic and heartbreaking, while his character is so goofy, aloof, mysterious and funny. A dichotomy that houses those two opposites is so compelling to me; that’s where I want to live.”
