beabadoobee’s sophomore album is on the way. Entitled Beatopia, it’s due out on July 15th via Dirty Hit. As part of today’s announcement, our 2021 Rookie of the Year has also shared the album’s lead single, “Talk,” and mapped out a 2022 tour in North America and the UK
Beatopia’s title is pulled from the fantastical, personal world that beabadoobee’s Bea Kristi devised in her imagination as a seven-year-old, and has kept close to her heart to this day. Across the record’s 14 tracks, Bea weaves together elements of fuzzy rock, homey singer-songwriter, psychedelia, midwest emo, and straightforward pop.
“Talk” exemplifies Bea’s versatility, drawing upon her tried-and-true blend of pop-rock. Watch the song’s video, which features 150 of the musician’s biggest fans, below.

“I wrote ‘Talk’ just after my first album,” Bea said in a statement. “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.”
Bea’s tour kicks off at Coachella next month, taking her across North America. Alongside her slew of headlining shows, she’ll also be supporting Halsey as well as Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers. Bea will then start the UK leg of the tour in October, wrapping things up with a hometown show at London’s O2 Brixton Academy. Grab tickets over at Ticketmaster.
beabadoobee’s debut album was 2020’s Fake It Flowers. Last year, she released the Our Extended Play EP, and recently teamed up with Cavetown on “Fall In Love With a Girl.”
