Beabadoobee – This Is How Tomorrow Moves
Critically-acclaimed indie icon beabadoobee has released her new single and video “Take A Bite” alongside the announcement of her upcoming third studio album This Is How Tomorrow Moves, out August 16 via Dirty Hit.
A deeply self-assured record of glorious pop and rock, This Is How Tomorrow Moves finds beabadoobee pushing herself to develop and explore new frontiers of vulnerability, both in her storytelling and her relationship with herself.
“Take A Bite,” a cascade of taut guitars and soft vocals that indulges a desire for chaos despite the self-awareness of bringing past negative cycles into something new and arrives accompanied by a slick music video directed by Jake Erland.
Watch the cinematic official video which blends the calm and the chaotic in a recurring dream sequence starring Bea in archival Stella McCartney.
Produced by legendary producer Rick Rubin, This Is How Tomorrow Moves swaps beabadoobee’s bedroom for Rick’s infamous Shangri-La studio in Malibu and stands as a testament to her artistic evolution and resilience, marking a significant milestone in her career and a step up to a new level in her abilities as a songwriter.
“It’s me feeling introspective about my thoughts and unhealthy way of living,” shares beabadoobee on the new single. “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. And 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.”
This Is How Tomorrow Moves captures a journey through confidence and introspection, with themes of self-acceptance and personal growth woven throughout, in parts a love letter to her younger self and all that she’s been through while also taking the reins on the next stage of her life. “I love this album,” beabadoobee shares. “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.”
“I think I’m more aware of my actions in these songs,” beabadoobee adds, “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.”
