Benin released ‘blink’ late last year, featuring drums by multi-instrumentalist Gabba Santiago and production from electronic artist The Ringmaster. Benin also shared that the song was inspired by recollecting and reliving both peaceful and traumatic times in her life brought her sleepless nights.

“I particularly wanted this song to be a sonic journey that is metaphorical to one’s journey towards healing,” she said in a press statement at the time, adding that the process of writing the song had helped her resolve those thoughts.

The singer has previously said a music video for ‘blink’ would be released in February, but as of February 28, neither music video nor release date has materialised.

‘Blink’ was Benin’s second solo song of 2021, having previously released the Bahasa-written version of her 2015 ballad ‘Tila’ called ‘Suara Hati’. She was also featured on the songs ‘A Day At A Time’ with Singaporean singer Gentle Bones and ‘Closer Than Before’ with indie band Lola Amour last year.
