beabadoobee – Beatopia [Coke Bottle Clear Vinyl LP]

Description

Beabadoobee’s second studio album Beatopia was first released in July 2022 as a vivid expansion of the sonic universe she began building with her debut Fake It Flowers. The Filipino-English artist channels childhood dreams and adult realities into 14 tracks that move effortlessly between lo-fi intimacy and full-throttle indie rock. Drawing its name from an imaginary place she conceived as a child, the album transforms those youthful fantasies into a mature, genre-hopping collection that refuses to be pinned down. This limited edition pressing features coke bottle clear vinyl housed in a gatefold jacket with printed inner sleeve and folded insert poster.

The album’s sonic breadth is impressive, moving from the hazy opener “Beatopia Cultsong” through the confessional “10:36” and the sun-drenched “Sunny Day.” Lead singles “Talk,” “The Perfect Pair,” and “See You Soon” showcase her knack for crafting hooks that feel both nostalgic and fresh, with “The Perfect Pair” earning R.I.A.A. Gold certification. Collaborating with PinkPantheress on “Tinkerbell Is Overrated,” beabadoobee proves equally comfortable with bedroom pop whispers and grunge-influenced guitars. Tracks like “Pictures of Us” tap into Midwest emo territory, while “Ripples” and “Fairy Song” highlight her gift for tender, stripped-down moments that balance the album’s heavier passages.

The coke bottle clear vinyl pressing enhances the album’s whimsical yet substantial character. Following her Brit Awards Rising Star nomination in 2020 and a top 10 UK chart debut with her first album, beabadoobee delivers a sophomore effort that cements her place in contemporary indie rock. The gatefold packaging with spot gloss detailing, printed inner sleeve, and folded insert poster provides a tactile experience that matches the album’s layered sound. From psychedelic flourishes to straight-ahead rock energy, Beatopia captures an artist growing more confident in her ability to blend influences without losing her distinctive voice.
