On This Is How Tomorrow Moves, Beabadoobee is comfortable in taking the reins of this next stage of her life. “I love this album,” she says, simply, “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,” Bea 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.”
Last night Bea celebrated reaching the top spot with an intimate show at London’s XOYO, ahead of opening for Mitski at London’s All Points East festival this weekend. Next week she headlines the Radio 1 stage at Reading and Leeds, before heading to North America for an extensive headline tour and returning to the UK for her biggest headline run to date, culminating at London’s Alexandra Palace. Tickets are on sale now, see below for full list of dates.
