It broke ': ,: through the gloominess of the long nights and monotonous days of :, : Lockdown 2: Electric Boogaloo, enchanting mainstream and : :' alternative listeners alike. Fast-forward to the scorching ': ,: summer of 2022, and the London singer-songwriterÆs turn at the :, : difficult second album is a starkly different affair, with more : :' diversity, more complexity and less care paid to the genres it ': ,: falls within. This is what beabadoobee coming into her own :, : sounds like, and itÆs certainly intriguing. : :' ': ,: One of the defining features of Beatopia is that itÆs much less :, : immediate than Fake It Flowers û there arenÆt so many catchy, : :' love-at-first-listen bops, but the ones that are there, namely ': ,: the fizzy pop-rock jam 10:36 and the scuzzy euphoria of Talk, :, : are a lot of fun. The more left field moments here are handled : :' with just as much assurance and burst with creativity û Sunny ': ,: Day feels like a modern, more guitar-orientated spin on '90s pop :, : that sounds brilliant with the beabadoobee treatment, while the : :' sunny bossa nova of the perfect pair is just as successful with ': ,: an irresistible melody and splashes of string trills. :, : : :' Acoustic guitar is more commonplace on Beatopia than electric, ': ,: and although a couple more upbeat songs here wouldnÆt go amiss, :, : thereÆs plenty of endearing balladry here. The delicate Lovesong : :' offers a lovely sense of intimacy, while Ripples takes a more ': ,: elegant approach with its soft acoustic chords bolstered by :, : violins. : :' ': ,: In the wrong hands, an album like Beatopia thatÆs less reliant :, : on catchy hooks could drag, but it never feels too dense or : :' depressing, even if it does demand a few listens in order to be ': ,: properly digested. The sheer range of sounds attempted here is :, : impressive in itself, and beabadoobee could go down any of these : :' avenues that sheÆs opened up for herself that she pleases.
