beabadoobee has released “See You Soon” from her upcoming sophomore album, Beatopia, out July 15 via Dirty Hit. The track, which can be heard now below, was inspired by the clarity Bea found during a memorable trip on shrooms and the therapeutic realization that it’s okay to make mistakes as long as it makes you a stronger person. The accompanying video is a nostalgic black and white film through the English countryside directed by Alexandra Leese and Luke Casey, who also helmed the video for lead single “Talk.”
“I feel like the idea behind ‘See You Soon’ is that it’s meant to make you feel like you’re tripping on shrooms. Or, I feel like the chorus especially, I want it to sound like a breath of fresh air, like a realization of some sort,” says beabadoobee. “I wrote it during a time where I was away a lot and making a lot of mistakes and doing a lot of things to help me figure a lot of stuff out. And I feel like I found the importance of doing that really, it was really therapeutic because it made me appreciate everything around me so much more. Being away and being by myself with my own thoughts, it was kind of like a punch in the face. And I guess it’s just really playing along with the fact that you know, it’s okay to make mistakes, as long as it makes you a stronger person, as long as it makes everything makes sense. And it’s important to be by yourself sometimes.”
Beatopia is available for pre-order now HERE.
beabadoobee will be taking the stage beginning May 17 as direct support on Halsey’s Love and Power U.S. arena tour and will play three more select headline dates in the U.S. in Jacksonville, FL, Asheville, NC, and Richmond, VA, before performing at U.S. festivals including Hangout Festival, Newpoert Folk Festival, and Governors Ball.
