Beabadoobee - Beatopia

Beabadoobee’s debut, ‘Fake It Flowers’, delivered bedroom pop in every sense. Beginning life as demos saved to a phone, its release fell towards the end of 2020 and offered a brooding, grunge-infused soundtrack to those confined by the same four walls. It was an insular listen, primarily the work of an individual, and one that wasn’t afraid to wear its ‘90s influences on its sleeve. It harked back to baggy jeans and walls covered in posters of floppy-haired heroes.
