Early praise for This Is How Tomorrow Moves
“This Is How Tomorrow Moves features some of Laus’s richest, most direct songwriting yet, and the kind of punchy, detailed production that could take her from internet celebrity to household name.” – The Guardian
“Gen Z’s favourite bedroom-pop star sticks to the hazy introspection and dreamlike vocals that have made her name. Steered by peerless producer Rick Rubin (Metallica, Weezer, Rage Against the Machine, the Chicks), the 23-year-old Brit sings about finding comfort in chaos.” – The Telegraph
“Impressive. Lead single Take A Bite is a moody alt-rock anthem which sees Bea relish life’s dramas.” – The Face
“this new music video features the critically-acclaimed artist in a Groundhog Day-like state of passionate delirium as she spirals out of control.” – Dazed
“Beabadoobee is embracing the sweet aspects of her daily chaos” – Rolling Stone
“‘Take A Bite’ sees Beabadoobee reflect on a cycle of negative thoughts and her desire to indulge in those behaviours over a 90s folk rock-inspired instrumental” – NME
Beabadoobee shares her new single ‘Ever Seen’, the third release from her forthcoming studio album This Is How Tomorrow Moves, out Friday 16th August via Dirty Hit. ‘Ever Seen’ comes complete with a video shot in Japan by Jake Erland.
‘Ever Seen’ was written on the road during her time on tour with Taylor Swift, originally intended to be a pure country song that grew into something more soaring and euphoric, with zig-zagging strings and pummelling percussion. For Bea, this captures the feelings of coming up at Glastonbury – the elation, the thudding of drums drifting over on the wind, the endless chaotic possibilities.
Featuring the singles ‘Take A Bite’ and ‘Coming Home’, This Is How Tomorrow Moves sees Beabadoobee swap her bedroom for Rick Rubin’s infamous Shangri-La studio in Malibu to create a deeply self-assured record with a vast sonic scope of rock and pop
2024 also sees Beabadoobee out on the road across the UK and US. This August she opens for Mitski at London’s All Points East festival and headlines the Radio 1 stage at Reading and Leeds, before heading to North America for an extensive headline tour and returning to the UK for her biggest headline run to date, culminating at London’s Alexandra Palace. Tickets are on sale now, see below for full list of dates.

This Is How It Went
This Is How Tomorrow Moves stands as a testament to Beabadoobee’s artistic evolution and resilience, marking a significant milestone in her career. It captures a journey through confidence and introspection, with themes of self-acceptance and personal growth woven throughout, in parts a love letter to her younger self and all that she’s been through.
On This is How Tomorrow Moves, Beabadoobee is comfortable in taking the reins of this next stage of her life. “I love this album,” she says, simply, “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.”
“I think I’m more aware of my actions in these songs,” Bea adds, “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.”
