Alt-pop star beabadoobee just released her critically acclaimed album Beatopia via Dirty Hit and will be bringing her North American tour to Denver, CO on 11/26 at Summit Music Hall, with special guest and labelmates Lowertown.
Beatopia has received major praise and glowing reviews from the mainstream and tastemakers alike, and landed Bea on the cover of publications around the globe including The Face, Kerrang, Dork and Music Week. PRESS HERE to listen to the album. Bea also just released a new video for track “Sunny Day” a breezy hit of dopamine that finds Bea in a mystical woodland. Beatopia also features latest single “10:36,” lead single “Talk,” and recent album tracks “Lovesong” and “See You Soon.” Her return to the U.S. this Fall follows some big festival appearances like Coachella, Gov Ball, and Glastonbury and a tour with Halsey earlier this year.
Named after a fantastical world created by Bea at 7 years old to escape to as a child, Beatopia finds Bea exploring a brighter, expanded sonic palette and in a place where she is finally accepting herself, processing past traumas and healing. NPR praised the album as “a blend of timelessness and immediacy” while Rolling Stone hoped Bea keeps making albums “as good as this one.” Pitchfork lauded the LP as “simultaneously heavy and light, dense and playful, melodic and dissonant” and Stereogum called it “…a leap forward… a woozy, pretty, accessible record.” NME praised Bea for “exploring a new sonic palette with confidence” and Kerrang said “The sheer range of sounds attempted here is impressive” and Dork lauded Beatopia as marking “beabadoobee as an artist able to set her own terms. Inventive, playful and…truly magical.”
Lowertown is also really talented. Named a Best New Artist by Pigeons & Planes, an Artist on The Rise by Line of Best Fit, and an Artist To Watch by Ones to Watch, the lo-fi darlings have cemented themselves as one of the genre’s most exciting new talents, and we’ll be announcing new music very soon.
