beabadoobee! She just does not stop grinding! Following on from last year’s sophomore album, Beatopia, she’s been keeping real busy. Touring the UK, scoring her first solo UK Top 40 hit with “Glue Song” back in March, and opening for Taylor Swift on a few dates of her headline-dominating Eras Tour. Today, she’s finally dropping the long-teased-on-TikTok “The Way Things Go.” A jauntily melancholic acoustic number that quickly becomes enveloped by ornate orchestration which adds an extra little kiss-off sensation to Bea’s lyrics about accepting when a relationship has fallen apart. It’s both cute and cutting, which is a pocket she’s making her own over the years.
Check out the video by Jacob Erland below which definitely understood the assignment vibes wise.
