Benji Heinke has shared his new single and video, ‘Cerulean’, as the first preview of his forthcoming concept album, ‘Blue Eden’. The LP is scheduled for release on August 7th, 2026, through the artist’s own imprint, Hotel Soap.
Built around a dream-turned-nightmare narrative, ‘Blue Eden’ unfolds within a surreal Californian setting where pop-inspired melodies meet darker themes. The album follows a fictional story in which mysterious botanical transformations spread through an affluent suburban community, drawing inspiration from films including The Truman Show, Midsommar, and The Substance.
Originally from Somerset, Heinke combines his background in Fine Art with music, creating each project as a complete audiovisual work. Alongside writing and producing his releases, he also designs the artwork and directs selected videos, while Hotel Soap, launched earlier this year, serves as the home for his current and future projects.
