Beatrice Laus aka beabadoobe, has taken the city by storm, SELLING OUT The Commodore on November 22nd. The 22 year old is keeping up her momentum with her second album Beatopia where she told Apple Music, “I just wanted to branch out” where she wanted to create something out of the comfort of her own house. Carving out a studio in South London, she called up fellow musician Jacob Bugden to create a variety of tunes that they liked but weren’t what they were used to. It was important to Beatrice that she get out of her comfort zone and not have herself stuck to one genre.

beabadoobe is a 22 year old indie-rock singer/songwriter born in the Philippines who then packed up and moved to London with her mom when she was 3. She grew up in West London listening to pop, rock, and indie-rock and spent 7 years learning how to play the violin and then started playing the guitar around the age of 17. Inspired by Kimya Dawson, the Juno Soundtrack and watching YouTube tutorials, she developed a love for making music and then decided to take the leap.

In 2020, Beatrice released her debut album Fake it Flowers. A very personal album where she wanted to express what she put down in “diary entries”. It is an album where she made sure that “there was a song for every mood and every Bea that exists.” These albums are important because it grows an interpersonal connection between the listener and the artist. The album got excellent reviews and was critically acclaimed getting a rough score of 81/100.

Riding off the success of Fake it Flowers, comes her 2022 album Beatopia where she took the opposite approach. Fake it Flowers consisted of songs representing the negative aspects of her past when in Beatopia, she accepts what’s happened and is now the clear sky above what was once a gloomy day over her last album. Beatopia is an album that talks about being in love, experiencing life as a young adult, taking care of yourself, and making sure you’re surrounding yourself with people that truly care about you.

“The Perfect Pair” comes off as a love letter and describes the communication between a couple. It seems to resinate with her because it’s about what happened in the past and how she’s developed to be the same kind of person with lack of communication. It is a very soft spoken song with detail in the lyrics and is also super relatable to people. That’s what I love about beabadoobe is that she connects with a lot of people and speaks on topics that a lot of people have been through.

Despite the show being sold out, don’t let it stop you from looking into more shows of her and exploring more of her discography. If you are lucky enough to be attending her show, then you are in for a stellar time and should be nothing short of fantastic!
