Beabadoobee is the Best

Beatrice “Beabadoobee” Laus leaves fans feeling emotionally represented with her personal and incredible song writing for her new album “This Is How Tomorrow Moves.”

Beabadoobee is a Filipino-born British indie pop artist, who has been making music ever since she was 17.

A large amount of music has been created by this young, talented artist. Releasing five EPs, three studio albums, and many singles.

Beabadoobee is highly appreciated by her unique lyricism. With her ability to turn her feelings and thoughts into beautifully crafted pieces of art, it all resonates deeply with herself and fans all over the world. 

Her hit songs, such as “Coffee,” “Glue Song,” “The Perfect Pair,” “Apple Cider,” and more, all have a similar reason as to why they’re well loved. People cherish and enjoy the lyrics, melody of each and every song.

Beabadoobee continues her journey with her particular music with the release of her third studio album, “This Is How Tomorrow Moves” on Aug. 9.

This new album ventures the story of loss, growth, acceptance, sadness, and love.

Beabadoobee’s album consists of 14 tracks, portraying her growing maturity and new perspective of life while dabbling into silliness with some of her pieces.

One of those songs is titled “Tie My Shoes,” track five, written to personally come to terms with childhood trauma, accepting how that affects her relationships today. 

“Tie My Shoes” is a slow, melodic song that explains her strained relationship with her father. She constantly struggled with the internal want of support, love from him. But instead she was faced with abandonment.

“Lied to a girl who hardly knew / But thought the world of you,” she sings in the second verse.

This lyric exploits how as a child she loved and admired her father, yet he took that for granted, betraying her in the end. 

“Tie My Shoes” is the type of song that many can relate to, feeling as though their father or parental figure has treated them the same. 

“Beaches” is a song that Beabadoobee feels most proud of writing, it being her favorite piece she’s ever written in her entire life.

“Beaches” captures and explores a lot of self-discovery themes, including acceptance, embracing vulnerability, fear of falling, and finding clarity.

“Spinning out on what to say or what to do / Finding reasons for my constant change in mood,” she sings in the opening lines of the song.

In verse one, she talks about how she tries to blame her changing emotions on something rather than acknowledging they exist.

However throughout the rest of the song, there’s a change in the way she thinks.

Beabadoobee is new to understanding that she can accept how she really feels about herself. And as the song progresses, listeners can analyze how her views shifted for the better. 

With its upbeat rhythm, melody, and nostalgic feeling, “Beaches” becomes a fan favorite.

In a similar manner, so are the other songs included in her album “This Is How Tomorrow Moves.”

Beabadoobee’s raw, honest song writing is what listeners seek for comfort in accepting events that have happened in their lives.
