    "Soaked" is a song by New Zealand musician Benee. It was released as a single on 14 September 2018 as the lead single from Benee's debut extended play Fire on Marzz. The song was released on Spotify, received airplay on New Zealand radio,[1] and reached number 58 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2018.[2]

    Background[edit]

    In a press release, the song was described as "indie-slack fun with a little R'n'B swing".[3] In 2019, Benee re-recorded the song in Te Reo Māori for Waiata / Anthems, a collection of re-recorded New Zealand pop songs to promote te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week). The new version, retitled "Kua Kore He Kupu / Soaked", featured lyrics reinterpreted by scholar Tīmoti Kāretu.[4] This version reached number five on the New Zealand artists' singles chart.[5]

    Critical reception[edit]

    "Soaked" was called a "slick, funk-fuelled pop number" by Pilerats,[6] while The Music Network described it as "an R'n'B drenched slice of alt-pop that accentuates the young singer's soulful vocals".[7]
