Artist: beabadoobee Single: Take A Bite Genre: Indie Pop, Pop Rock, Alternative Rock Release Date: May 9th, 2024
Beabadoobee can’t help but “Take a Bite” in her newest single – a track about giving in again, and again… even though you know it’s bad for you. Bea takes some accountability, admitting that she’s living in fantasyland but is finding it too comfortable to leave. It’s hard to take off the rose-tinted glasses, and even more difficult when you love how they look.
Bea’s vocals are gentle but expressive, sliding through the melody with a little grit. Her vocal control is accentuated by the wordy verses and complicated rhythms. Alongside producer Rick Rubin, Bea tries her hand at a slightly different sound. “Take a Bite” sounds more produced then some of her previous discography, but it isn’t a bad thing. It adds a new clarity to her music while preserving all of the grunge nuance and intensity of her idols.
With the loveliness of a melody that matches its lyrics, Bea creates excitement for her upcoming album set to release this August.
