beabadoobee takes a louder, more direct route on Pylon, her fourth studio album. Written while touring behind This Is How Tomorrow Moves, the record draws on grunge, midwest emo and ’90s radio rock, pushing her songwriting into more forceful territory.
Created with collaborators including Hayley Williams, Brendan Yates, Chino Moreno and Evan Stephens Hall, Pylon brings a rawer edge to Beatrice Laus’ melodic alternative pop. The Philippines-born, London-raised artist has built a major following through three albums and five EPs, with This Is How Tomorrow Moves reaching number one in the UK.
Beabadoobee has shared “Switchblade,” the second single from her forthcoming LP “Pylon” following last month’s “Sun Has Set.” During the new track’s pre-chorus, the artist born Beatrice Laus sings, “Do you start the fight or take the flight? / Is it wrong or right to try to?”
As for the new album, Laus shared: “Pylon” is about accepting that negative feelings are going to come back, accepting the insecurity and feeling confused. It’s all a necessary part of growing and knowing yourself better. You have to go through all that shit, I have to write about it.”
The songwriter’s fourth album will arrive on September 18th via Dirty Hit/Interscope.
