An Indie Icon
A quickly rising artist, this young British-Filipino singer-songwriter has steadily accrued a large following in the indie scene. Beabadoobee has consistently charted in the top of the UK Charts, with her recent 2022 album “Beatopia” hitting number 1 on the UK Indie charts, and her feature in the Powfu song “Death Bed (Coffee For Your Head)” reaching Platinum certification. Beabadoobee has also won the Radar Award from the NME and the Rising Star Award from the Brit Awards. Among these distinctions, Beabadoobee also received praise from giants such as Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, and Halsey.
Romance (or glue?) In The Air
When talking about “Glue Song,” Beabadoobee had this to say:
“It’s a heartfelt song that means a lot to me. A love song and the first one I’ve written in my new relationship. I usually write these songs that are sad, in the past with my writing even when it doesn’t sound sad looking back, the lyrics usually have been. For the first time this is just me being really happy. I’m in a really positive place for the first time in a long time and feeling love. We recorded the song with my guitarist and producer Jacob in his house and added in trumpets and strings. This song feels really personal and I went to my home town in Ilo Ilo to film the music video. It’s where I was born and so that also added another personal touch to the song.”
Indeed, the triple feel of the soft strumming guitar gives a woozy vibe to the piece, perfectly complimenting her soothing singing voice. Additionally, the lyrics definitely feel personal and intimate:
“I’ve never known someone like you /
Tangled in love stuck by you /
From the glue /
Don’t forget to kiss me /
Or else you’ll have to miss me”
Truly, this song is befitting of Valentine’s Day and the love that comes with it! Check out Beabadoobee’s future and current projects, which include performing at Taylor Swift’s 2023 Tour!
