Indie darling beabadoobee has unleashed her alluring new single “Take A Bite,” which will appear on her freshly announced, forthcoming new album, This Is How Tomorrow Moves, arriving via Dirty Hit on August 16.
“It’s me feeling introspective about my thoughts and unhealthy way of living,” beabadoobee shares about “Take A Bite.” “It’s finding comfort in a familiar place—finding comfort in chaos because that’s what I know. So, I bring it into every aspect of my life, especially with relationships. And it’s just tapping into this part of my brain where I just jump straight to the most negative, most chaotic thought ever known to man and make and make that into my reality.”
Diving headfirst into the intoxicating chaos of desire, “Take A Bite” is a bewitching whirlwind of guitar work, indulging in a sound reminiscent of the ‘90s alt-rock era. beabadoobee’s sweet delivery stands as the highlight of the track, effortlessly ebbing and flowing through her own self-awareness.
“Take A Bite” serves as the opener and lead preview of This Is How Tomorrow Moves, which will feature a 14-track lineup. Of the forthcoming release, bea shares, “I love this album. I feel like it’s helped me so much more than anything else has in navigating this new era, this new understanding of where I’m at. I guess it’s about becoming a woman.”
She continues, “I think I’m more aware of my actions in these songs. In my previous records, I would consistently sing about my reaction towards other people’s doings, like a blame game. But in this record, it’s accepting that there’s an inevitability of my fault in there, too. Whether it’s childhood trauma or relationship issues, it takes two to tango in everything.”
