beabadoobee – “Talk”beabadoobee – “Talk”

Between her 2020 debut Fake It Flowers and last year’s Our Extended Play EP, beabadoobee quickly became one of the more fascinating and beloved young pop artists to emerge in recent years. Now, she’s about to return with a sophomore album. It’s called Beatopia, after an imaginary world she created as a child. It’s out in July.

Along with the announcement, beabadoobee has shared lead single “Talk.” Here’s what she had to say about it:

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 anyways.

“Talk” comes with a video directed by Alexandra Leese and Luke Casey. Check it out below.
