Born in the Philippines and raised in London, Bea Kristi began recording music as beabadoobee in 2017. At just 20 years old, she has built a dedicated Gen-Z fan base. Her forthcoming release Fake It Flowers, drops October 16, via Dirty Hit. Today, the singer/songwriter has shared the album track “How Wa s Your Day?”

from beabadoobee:

“’How Was Your Day?’ is a track that explores all the relationships I neglected when I was away from home” Bea explains, “I wanted to emphasise the rawness of the lyrics with the song sonically which is why I recorded it on a four-track with all the little mistakes and vocal wobbles included. I wanted the music video to feel nostalgic to me, to include all the people I cared about, it took me back to the time I first started making music.”

Fake It Flowers influences include Elliott Smith, Daniel Johnston and Kimya Dawson of the Moldy Peaches –  and was recorded on a four-track cassette recorder in her boyfriend’s garden when her studio was closed towards the beginning of the pandemic. Packed with a longing for reconnection and simpler times, the accompanying nostalgia-tinged music video, which features Bea in grainy, VHS-like, lo-fi quality, was directed by long-term collaborators bedroom and features footage of Bea and her loved ones together over the past few months.
