beabadoobee – She Plays Bass
Thereβs nothing wrong with Beatrice Lausβ real name. But her artist name beabadoobee is genuinely swinging. So far, the 19-year-old London singer-songwriterβs musical style has mostly been pigeon-holed as βbedroom popβ. A description that relates more to technical issues than to content, in my opinion. Nevertheless, more and more artists pop up in this category. Time for beabadoobee to move onβ¦
Her new single is called She Plays Bass, so youβre right when you presume it to feature a dominant bass line. This, along with a shift towards ’90s indie-rock, gives the song a nostalgic, New Order kind of vibe. However, according to a press release, it was inspired by Sleater-Kinney and The Breeders. No complaints thereβ¦
