British-Filipino singer/songwriter beabadoobee has finally announced the very first studio album with the title ‘Fake It Flowers‘. The album will drop sometime later this year (via Dirty Hit), and is led by the first track “Care“.
After building so much strong hype with a series of critically-acclaimed EPs, Gen-Z indie star on the rise beabadoobee is readying to share the world with the first body of work this year. The name of the debut record is interestingly dubbed ‘Fake It Flowers‘ and we cannot wait any longer for the project to arrive!
Despite the release date not being revealed, the London artist has unveiled the initial sneak peek into the record with alternative rock tune “Care“. The track is produced by frequent collaborators Pete Robertson and Joseph Rodgers who are behind the greatness of her previous EPs.
beabadoobee (full name Bea Kristi) explained the story of “Care” through a press release taken from Pitchfork: “This song has end-of-a-’90s movie vibes, like you’re driving down a highway. It is pretty much me being angry at society, or people around me who I just don’t think know me and don’t care. I don’t want you to feel fucking sorry for me. I just want you to understand what I’ve been through.”
As angsty sounding as Bea asserted in the statement, “Care” is successful in conveying anger and frustration through the head-banging guitar riffs and thumping drums. Meanwhile, Bea’s sweet, angelic voice weirdly and perfectly contradicts the song’s rock vibe, creating such an infectious jam to dance to in quarantine.
Speaking of quarantine, the 20-year-old also mentioned in the press release about the making of the music video for “Care” in lockdown with the creator team called ‘bedroom’. She said, “I never expected to be making the first video from my album during a pandemic! I was so lucky to be locked down with the bedroom guys, it feels like it turned out as one of the most personal, real videos I’ve made. I’m so excited to share it!”
“Care” is out now, and stay tuned here for more info about beabadoobee and her upcoming album!
