We must all remember: “3 b’s + 3e’s + 2a’s + 2o’s + 1d = 1 uniquely grand performer named beabadoobee“
beabadoobee will perform in Portland at her upcoming headline show at Pioneer Courthouse Square on August 10, 6:30 PM, (701 SW 6th Avenue)!
Last week Precious Bea released her latest single “the way things go,” a cheeky track with a little sass that ultimately finds comfort in the cards life has dealt. The video came alongside a stunning video, directed by Jacob Erland, featuring ballerinas and an ornately decorated room straight out of a renaissance painting.
And don’t forget her recent beautiful video for Glue Song:
Recently opening for Taylor Swift’s The Era’s stadium tour, beabadoobee has racked up over 4.6 billion streams on her skyrocketing trajectory to indie pop stardom over the past few years and received widespread acclaim for her single/video “Glue Song” – which made a huge splash as the #4 global track debut on Spotify (and now has 75 million Spotify streams), quickly became one of the Top 5 most added records at Alternative Radio, and received an alternate version with indie darling Clairo – and her latest album Beatopia (featuring hits like “Talk,” “See You Soon,” “Lovesong,” and “Sunny Day”). Beatopia saw Bea appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, make her debut onNPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, grace the covers of The Face, GQ Hype, and NME, and play major festivals worldwide including Coachella, Glastonbury, Gov Ball, and more.
Born as a testament to the wonders that self-acceptance and loving the people around you can conjure, Beatopia received critical acclaim on both sides of the pond. NPR praised the album as “a blend of timelessness and immediacy” while Rolling Stone hoped Bea keeps making albums “as good as this one.” Pitchfork lauded the LP as “simultaneously heavy and light, dense and playful, melodic and dissonant” and The Sunday Times said that “She still sounds like nobody else today — meshing the music of her parents’ generation with a Gen Z shrug.” NME praised Bea for “exploring a new sonic palette with confidence” and Dork lauded Beatopia as marking “beabadoobee as an artist able to set her own terms. Inventive, playful and…truly magical.”
One of music’s most exciting new artists, beabadoobee has been on a stratospheric rise with her flawless output of confessional bedroom pop songs and a dedicated Gen-Z fanbase. Her critically acclaimed 2020 debut album Fake It Flowers established her as a one of music’s most buzzed-about talents, earned her a late-night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! performing standout hit “Care,” and drew mainstream and tastemaker praise on both sides of the pond for songs like “Worth It” and “Sorry.” Her most recent EP Our Extended Play appeared on numerous “best of” lists and landed her on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon performing the ‘90s-infused, guitar-driven “Last Day On Earth.” Bea has been championed by and has received major critical acclaim from New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR, Vogue, Wall Street Journal, Teen Vogue, The FADER, i-D, Consequence, Paper, Pigeons and Planes, Dazed, Cosmopolitan, Stereogum, Nylon, Complex, NME, The Guardian, Vulture, UPROXX, and more. Born in the Philippines and raised in London, beabadoobee signed with Dirty Hit following the success of her viral single “Coffee” which was sampled years later in 2020’s sixth most streamed song of the summer “death bed (coffee for your head)” – a song which climbed into the Top 20 chart in 27 countries and brought Bea her first RIAA Platinum Certification.
