Cue the revolution – Beabadoobee is back with a bang! The British pop sensation has just announced her long-awaited fourth studio album, 'Pylon', set to electrify fans on 18 September. And if you thought she was done pushing boundaries, think again – this new record is shaping up to be a game-changer, courtesy of a heavier sound that's been compared to the likes of '90s alt-rock and midwest emo.
But don't just take our word for it! Beabadoobee's latest single, 'Sun Has Set', gives us a tantalising glimpse into this new sonic direction, with its robust guitar chords and assertive vocals that will leave you breathless. And the best part? It's not just about the music – this track is also a powerful expression of unspoken frustration, with Beabadoobee revealing it embodies her desire to confront someone with deeply felt anger.
The 'Pylon' album is set to be a powerhouse of collaborations, cementing Beabadoobee's status as a rising star in the music industry. Get ready for a star-studded line-up featuring Paramore's Hayley Williams on 'Nothing To Prove', Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates on 'Powerlines', and even Evan Stephens Hall of Pinegrove, Deftones' Chino Moreno, Shane Moran from Title Fight, Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975 – who are also behind the track 'Write Me A Letter'.
And if you thought that was enough to get your heart racing, wait till you hear about Beabadoobee's massive 'The Powerlines Tour', her first foray into arena-sized venues. Get ready for a whirlwind of epic performances at some of the world's most iconic venues, including Madison Square Garden in New York and The Kia Forum in Los Angeles. In the UK and Europe, expect to see Beabadoobee take centre stage at Glasgow's OVO Hydro, Manchester's AO Arena, and London's The O2 – among many more.
