beabadoobee's first solo single release of the year - 'Talk' coincides with an announcement that she will release a new 14 track album called 'Beatopia' later this year. beabadoobee's follow-up to her 2020 debut album 'Fake It Flowers' will contain her latest single and 13 others, including a collaboration with 'Pain' and 'Just For Me' artist Pink Pantheress titled - 'Tinkerbell Is Overrated'.
'Talk', beabadoobee's third single of the year, follows her February releases with Luna Li on 'Silver Rain' and Cavetown on 'Fall In Love With A Girl'. Talking about her new track beabadoobee said - "I wrote ‘Talk’ just after my first album. I was obsessed with Tuesday because I thought it was the best night to go out, not too much chaos but just enough to have a good time. Generally it’s about doing things that aren’t necessarily healthy or great for you but you can’t help indulging. It’s like that unavoidable feeling that you get, you can’t get rid of it and you know it’s bad but you love it really and it’s whatever, so you do it anyway."
beabadoobee's second album is due to drop whilst she is on tour and is expected to be released via Dirty Hit Records on July 15th, the same day that she plays Finsbury Park, London. Prior to that beabadoobee will start her lengthy tour at Coachella on the 17th April before heading to Las Vegas, Chicago, San Diego, Tampa and Toronto among many other places. beabadoobee is also scheduled to play at Glastonbury and TRNSMT festivals before she embarks on the UK leg of her tour which starts in Dublin on October 4th and ends in London at The Brixton Academy on October 19th.
The video for 'Talk' was directed by Alexandra Leese and Luke Casey and features beabadoobee’s close friends and about 150 fans.
