In The Spotlight

Summer Bennett – “Just A Phase”

Hailing from Paradise, Newfoundland, this award-winning Canadian singer and songwriter has been singing and playing music her whole life. Having written her first song aged 6, she’s also proficient on guitar, ukulele and piano. In 2021 she won MusicNL’s Newfound Talent Contest and the 2022 Arts And Letters Award. She was also selected as one of just 15 female artists to perform at HoneyJam 2022. Often compared to Lorde and Kate Bush, she released her debut single “Carsick” in 2021.

Offering a teenage perspective of the toxicity and negativity of social media and the internet as a whole, her new single dares to hold up a mirror to her contemporaries. Taken from her recently released EP “One Thousand Fahrenheit”, the track starts with playful piano chords and develops into an infectious, high-octane pop tune. With a bracing beat, electronic runs and unexpected violins, it’s her formidable vocal range that makes this enthralling groove sound infectious and unique.
