Anne Bennett’s “Borrowed Skin” is a dark wave descent into psychological unraveling.

Anne Bennett’s “Borrowed Skin”, co-written and produced by Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle), pulses with cold, deliberate synths and a creeping, cinematic tension that mirrors the song’s narrative: a character losing themselves while living through someone else’s identity.

Bennett’s voice, haunting, vulnerable, and unwavering, floats above the mix like a ghost trapped between worlds. Her delivery perfectly captures the song’s themes of madness, possession, and ego-death. Each line feels like a confession whispered from the edge of reason.

The production is rich but sober, with eerie textures slowly building into a hypnotic swirl that never fully explodes, reflecting a descent. McJunkins’ influence adds depth and discipline to the chaos.

“Borrowed Skin” i’s a gothic psychodrama. Deeply unsettling, beautifully executed, and difficult to pass.
