Indie star also drops LP’s first single “Take a Bite”
Beabadoobee is embracing the sweet aspects of her daily chaos. On Thursday, the indie star announced that she’ll release her album This Is How Tomorrow Moves on Aug. 16 as she teases the record by dropping lead single “Take a Bite.”
“It’s me feeling introspective about unhealthy way of living,” said Bea in a press release. “It’s finding comfort in a familiar place – finding comfort in chaos, because that’s what I know. So, I bring it into every aspect of my life, especially with relationships.”
“It’s just tapping into this part of my brain where I just jump straight to the most negative, most chaotic thought ever known to man and make and make that into my reality,” she added.
The new record was produced by Rick Rubin in his Shangri-La Studio and captures “themes of self-acceptance and personal growth” and also serves as “a love letter to her younger self and all that she’s been through,” according to a press release.
“I feel like it’s helped me so much more than anything else has in navigating this new era, this new understanding of where I’m at. I guess it’s about becoming a woman,” she said about the record. “I think I’m more aware of my actions in these songs. In my previous records, I would consistently sing about my reaction towards other people’s doings, like a blame game. But in this record, it’s accepting that there’s an inevitability of my fault in there too.”
“Whether it’s childhood trauma or relationship issues, it takes two to tango in everything,” she added.
This Is How Tomorrow Moves marks Bea’s fifth studio album, after releasing Beatopia, featuring songs like “The Perfect Pair,” “Sunny Da,” and “Tinkerbell Is Overrated” with PinkPantheress, in 2022. She dropped two live albums last year.
