Filipino-born, London-raised singer/songwriter/guitarist beabadoobee has announced a new album, Beatopia, and shared its first single, “Talk,” via a video for it. Beatopia is due out July 15 via Dirty Hit. Alexandra Leese and Luke Casey directed the video. Watch it below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as beabadoobee’s upcoming tour dates.

Beabadoobee’s real name is Beatrice Laus (and she is also known as Bea Kristi). Beatopia is her sophomore album, the follow-up to her debut album, Fake It Flowers, which was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2020, and 2021’s Our Extended Play EP, which was co-written with and produced by Matty Healy and George Daniel of label-mates The 1975.

Beabadoobee had this to say about the new single in a press release: “I wrote ‘Talk’ just after my first album. 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. It’s like that unavoidable feeling that you get. You can’t get rid of it, and you know it’s bad, but you love it really, and it’s whatever, so you do it anyways.”
