Beabadoobee has released her latest single, a sentimental acoustic track titled ‘The Way Things Go’ with a ballet-inspired video. Check it out below.The song reflects on a relationship that has faded with the singer reflecting on both the good times as well as the bad.Beabadoobee – real name Beatrice Laus – sings “Didn’t think you’d ever stoop so low / Getting with the only girl you know / A lousy route that only makes me say / ‘That’s pretty lame and that’s the way things go’ / Oh, I guess that’s just the way things go,” recalling the wrong in a past relationship but finding peace as that’s just “the way things go”.Directed by Jacob Erland, the accompanying video features Bea and with guitarist Jacob Bugden longside a number of ballet dancers in an ornately decorated room. Bea previously teased a short bit of the track online, which gained a huge wave of fan support with ‘The Way Things Go’ taking on a life of its own online and across TikTok.The track follows her previous single ‘Glue Song‘ which saw her team up with Clairo for a new version of the song.

Beabadoobee has announced the cancelation of her upcoming run of European tour dates after falling “really ill.”The singer took to social media to share a post explaining why she has had to cancel the forthcoming european dates of her ‘Beatopia’ tour. The statement read: “This was a very hard decision to make but due to illness I will have to cancel my upcoming run of EU shows.”She continued: “I’m so sorry and don’t want to let anyone down. I’ve just fallen really ill and need to work on getting back to a healthy place before performing again.

Beabadoobee has shared a new version of her latest single ‘Glue Song’ featuring Clairo. Check it out below.With the original released back in February, the new version of the love song features a new verse by Clairo with the lyrics: “You’ve been hiding in plain sight / And it appeared, oh I know / Loving you once only feels wrong / I need you / I always knew I’d find you / To be here is worth the wait too / I’m not lying / When I say I’ve been stuck / By the glue onto you”.Speaking about the collab, Beabadoobee shared: “That was super fun, she tried a part on a verse for ‘Glue Song’ and it sounds so sweet.

Beabadoobee has teamed up with Clairo on a new version of “Glue Song.” The song was first released on Valentine's Day back in February with the updated remix reuniting two artists who toured across the US together in 2019. "Claire’s a good friend since she brought me on her tour around the release of her first album," Beabadoobee says in a statement.

Taylor Swift resumed her ‘Eras’ tour last night (March 24) at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium and took a request from opening act Beabadoobee.Swift kicked off the run of shows last week with a mammoth 44-song set that pulled from across her back catalogue. She played a similar set last night with the exception of the “acoustic surprise” portion of the night.Speaking to the crowd about that section of the set, Swift explained: “I thought for this tour, it might be fun to have a section where I would play different songs every night and it would just be me, you, a guitar and a piano.

Beabadoobee has celebrated Valentine’s Day with the release of a heartwarming new single, ‘Glue Song’, immortalising a fan-favourite from her recent live shows.It’s one of the indie artist’s more balladesque tracks, carried by a cruisy drum beat, silky strings and twee grand piano chords. Beatrice Laus floats over the soundscape, singing with a cool ease: “I’ve never known someone like you / Tangled in love, stuck by you / From the glue / Don’t forget to kiss me / Or else you’ll have to miss me.”In a press release, Laus explained that she wrote ‘Glue Song’ “in the back of cars and traveling” throughout her recent tours across Asia and Australia.

Beabadoobee recently stopped by the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, where the singer-songwriter delivered a grungy rendition of Vanessa Carlton’s 2002 hit ‘A Thousand Miles’.Beatrice Laus’ take amplifies the energy of the original piano-led ballad, with crunchy, overdriven guitars and propulsive drums coming courtesy of her bandmates. In addition to ‘A Thousand Miles’, Beabadoobee also performed a stripped-back acoustic version of ‘The Perfect Pair’, lifted from July’s ‘Beatopia’.

Beabadoobee has never hidden away from her influences and has regularly namechecked The Sundays, the jangly '90s indie band, as being an important part of her songwriting education. It makes sense, then, that the London-based artist would pay homage to her heroes with a cover.

Beabadoobee has spoken to NME in a new interview about embracing collaborations on her new album ‘Beatopia’.The Dirty Hit-signed artist released her second album, the follow-up to her 2020 debut ‘Fake It Flowers’, last month.The new record features collaborations with the likes of The 1975‘s Matty Healy, PinkPantheress and Bombay Bicycle Club‘s Jack Steadman (under his Mr Jukes moniker).Speaking to NME in this week’s Big Read about inviting other artists to work on ‘Beatopia’, Beabadoobee – real name Beatrice Kristi Laus – said: “At the beginning [of your career] you’re super anal, like, ‘No one fucking touch my music’. And then you’re like, ‘You know what? Collaborations are sick’.

Beabadoobee has put an acoustic spin on The Sundays’ 1990 song ‘Here’s Where The Story Ends’.Both Beabadoobee’s version and the UK alt-rock outfit’s original are delivered with soft, ethereal vocal tones from female singers (Harriet Wheeler fronted The Sundays). The song differs, however, where The Sundays gradually build on their textures with additional instrumentation, while Beabadoobee – real name Beatrice Laus – sticks exclusively with two acoustic guitars to relay the song’s commanding emotions.Listen to Beabadoobee’s spin, recorded live in the SiriusXM studio, below:And take a listen to the original:Laus’ in-studio cover follows the release of her second studio album, ‘Beatopia’, last month.The follow-up to 2020’s debut LP ‘Fake It Flowers’, ‘Beatopia’ dropped on July 15 and featured the singles ‘Talk’, ‘See You Soon’, ‘Lovesong’ and ’10:36′.

Beabadoobee has praised The 1975‘s “awesome” new album, saying that “no one’s fucking ready” for how good it is.The singer-songwriter, who is this week’s NME Big Read cover star, said in the interview that The 1975 singer Matty Healy has been sending her songs from ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’ to listen to ahead of its release in October.Beabadoobee (real name Bea Lauss) was reflecting on The 1975’s help on her fifth EP, 2021’s ‘Our Extended Play’, which led to Healy co-writing ‘You’re Here That’s The Thing’ and ‘Pictures Of Us’ for her new album ‘Beatopia‘. Their friendship also secured Lauss the position of being able to hear new The 1975 music in advance.“I’ve heard a few songs off of it – he’s [been] sending me one like every day; it’s sick,” Lauss said of Healy.

Beabadoobee has announced a slew of North American tour dates for later in the year in support of her newly-released second album, ‘Beatopia’.Following US dates supporting Bleachers, festival appearances in Europe and Japan, and tours in Australia and the UK, Beabadoobee will kick off her North American headline run in late October, with dates running through to early December.Support on the tour will come from Beabadoobee’s Dirty Hit labelmates, Lowertown. The duo released their latest EP, ‘The Gaping Mouth’, last year.

Beabadoobee has shared a cover of The Strokes‘ ‘The Adults Are Talking’ as part of a deluxe edition of new album ‘Beatopia’.‘Beatopia’ was released today (July 15) via Dirty Hit, and the deluxe version – titled ‘The Antidote Version’ – is available as an Apple Music exclusive.Alongside the regular album are live versions of three tracks from ‘Beatopia’, as well as the Strokes cover.‘The Adults Are Talking’ appeared on the legendary New York band’s 2020 album ‘The New Abnormal’.Listen to Beabadoobee’s version of the track below.Reviewing ‘Beatopia’, NME said: “What started as a place that existed only as an escapist haven in the imagination of a seven-year-old Bea – a drawing of which was once mocked by a “dickhead” teacher in front of the class – now serves as a “feeling” of acceptance and openness.“Finally stopping to smell the flowers, the singer serenely dawdles through ‘Beatopia’s 14 tracks, an album which feels like watching a hazy cloud float by on a balmy spring day. This sense of contentment trickles into the folksy, communal chant of ‘Beatopia Cultsong’, while similarly blissful melodies can be found in the glistening guitar chords of ‘fairy song’ and classical strings of ‘Ripples’.”The singer-songwriter is due to hit the road for a UK and Ireland tour in the autumn, kicking off at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin on October 4 before wrapping at the O2 Brixton Academy on October 19.

Beabadoobee has told NME about her upcoming second album ‘Beatopia’ during a backstage interview at Glastonbury 2022.The returning Dirty Hit-signed artist made her debut appearance at the Worthy Farm festival earlier today (June 25), playing on the John Peel Stage.“It was much more of a physical thing when I was seven,” she explained of the “dream world” behind ‘Beatopia’, which she invented in 2007. “I thought I could literally be in this world – I think it was just a way of escaping everything that was happening in life at that time, and then I forgot about it because shit happened.

Beabadoobee has shared a new live performance video for her latest single, ’10:36’ – watch below.The video – which was uploaded onto the artist’s YouTube channel yesterday (June 21) – sees Beabadoobee and her backing band rip into the new track in the middle of a messy room with glassware, vinyl records and plants cluttering the space.The new video comes a week after the singer-songwriter released ’10:36’ onto streaming platforms.You can watch Beabadoobee perform ’10:36’ below.Prior to ’10:36’, Beabadoobee released ‘Talk’, ‘See You Soon’ and ‘Lovesong’ in March, April and May respectively. All four tracks will feature on her upcoming second studio effort, ‘Beatopia’.‘Beatopia’ is slated to release on July 15 and can be pre-ordered here.

Beabadoobee has shared another new single from her forthcoming album ‘Beatopia’.The track, which you can listen to below, is the the fourth taster to be lifted from her second album following ‘Lovesong’, ‘See You Soon’ and ‘Talk‘.According to a press release, the single “unpacks Bea’s personal relationships with the people in her life, and how she depends on human contact to get to sleep” as she sings: “You’re just a warm body to hold/ At night when I’m feeling all alone”.“’10:36′ was written after [2020 debut album] ‘Fake It Flowers’ and just before [2021 EP] ‘Our Extended Play’, and I had envisioned it to be on that EP, but I was just sitting on that riff for ages and then I properly made a demo during lockdown. It was called ’10:36′ because that was the time I finished writing it,” she explained.

Beabadoobee has shared a new single called ‘Lovesong’ – you can listen to it below.The delicate, romantic number serves as the latest preview of the Dirty Hit signee’s upcoming second album ‘Beatopia’ (pronounced bay-a-toe-pee-uh), which is out on July 15.“I missed the train again/ I called your name/ As if you’d drive it back/ I swear you’re in my head/ Throughout the day/ I can say that for a fact,” Bea sings in the chorus over acoustic guitar, keys and swelling strings.Speaking about the track, the singer-songwriter explained in a statement: “‘Lovesong’ is a song that I had bits written for since my second ever EP. The chorus was actually already written since ‘Loveworm’ [2019], I just didn’t have any chords to sing it with.“It’s actually written in a really strange tuning that I forget.

Beabadoobee has released a sparkling new single in ‘See You Soon’, following March’s ‘Talk’ – scroll down the page to listen to the new track now.‘See You Soon’ is the second single to be taken from the Dirty Hit star’s second album ‘Beatopia’ (pronounced bay-a-toe-pee-uh), which will be released on July 15.In a press release, Beabadoobee said of the new song: “I feel like the idea behind ‘See You Soon’ is that it’s meant to make you feel like you’re tripping on shrooms. Or, I feel like the chorus especially, I want it to sound like a breath of fresh air, like, you know, like a realisation of some sort.”She continued to explain that she had written it during a period when she was “away a lot and making a lot of mistakes and doing a lot of things to help me figure a lot of stuff out”.

Netflix‘s new coming-of-age drama Heartstopper has drawn huge acclaim since its release last week, and its much-loved soundtrack is now broken down in full.The series, which is based on Alice Oseman’s comic and graphic novel, follows the budding romance between high schoolers Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) and Nick Nelson (Kit Connor).Among the acts making appearances on the soundtrack are Wolf Alice, Girl In Red, Beabadoobee and Baby Queen – the latter of whom has released a new single called ‘Colours Of You’ for the show.Check out the full list of songs that appear in Heartstopper below:Episode One – MeetEpisode Two – CrushEpisode Three – KissEpisode Four – SecretEpisode Six – GirlsEpisode Seven – BullyEpisode Eight – Boyfriend Heartstopper has also generated a lot of talk over a surprise appearance from Olivia Colman, who portrays Nick’s mother Sarah in the series, with Netflix managing to keep her casting under wraps until the show debuted last week.

Beabadoobee will tour both Australia and New Zealand for the first time this September.The tour, announced today (April 5), is in support of the singer-songwriter’s forthcoming second studio album, ‘Beatopia’.
