(SOUNDBITE OF JULIAN LAGE'S "PERSIAN RUG")ĭAVIES: FRESH AIR's executive producer is Danny Miller. Our guest will be Andrew Marantz, whose latest article in The New Yorker is titled "Does Hungary Offer A Glimpse Of Our Authoritarian Future?" I hope you can join us.
Tucker Carlson even hosted his Fox News show from Hungary. Got you smiling.ĭAVIES: Tomorrow on FRESH AIR, we'll talk about how part of the American right became aligned with Hungary and its authoritarian leader, Viktor Orban. I got you wrapped around my finger like a piece of ribbon. I don't think that's legal in the state of California. When the lights go down, don't say I didn't warn you. Well, maybe on the phone if you let it sing. And I know you said that we're not a thing. For she seems tired 'cause we've been through this. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "YOU'RE HERE THAT'S THE THING")īEABADOOBEE: (Singing) Catch the rain even on a sunny day. The woman born Beatrice Kristi Laus is using her beabadoobee persona and all of these new songs to acknowledge how much she doesn't yet understand about love and how thrilled she is to be figuring it out.ĭAVIES: Rock critic Ken Tucker reviewed beabadoobee's new album, "Beatopia." TUCKER: Late in this album, she has a song whose refrain is, I've realized you just don't get the deal - not that she's letting herself off the hook. But to keep me sane, I guess that this is just another love song about you, just another love song about you. I swear you're in my head throughout the day. I called your name as if you'd drive it back. When I've been a mess, it's not your fault. Guess it's something you learn to accept. But listen to this one called "Lovesong," and you'll know why she's also been booked to play at this year's Newport Folk Festival.īEABADOOBEE: (Singing) I didn't think I'd ever want this yet when we had first met in the fall. Many of the songs on this album, "Beatopia," have sturdy rock structures. She's in her early 20s, and she's talked a lot about influences that range from Alanis Morissette to Simon & Garfunkel. And yes, even she thinks it's cutesy but that she's now stuck with it. TUCKER: Beabadoobee's name comes from a pseudonym she used on Instagram. Some will leave my house, I'm sorry for yesterday. Maybe tomorrow, we're OK when it's a sunny day.
Always complaining that you never see me. And she has a great knack for this, as can be heard on the lovely, casually intimate song called "Sunny Day."īEABADOOBEE: (Singing) No, it's been raining, I swear. She's trying to make what she does sound unplanned, spontaneous. She took violin lessons for seven years as a kid. In interviews, beabadoobee goes out of her way to minimize her musical experience, saying she didn't really think much about making music until a few years ago, and that she took up the guitar only when her father gave her one when she was 17. TUCKER: That's "10:36," in which she brushes off a guy who's fallen in love with her. You're just a warm body to hold at night when I'm feelin' all alone. Take it or leave it 'cause you know that's the truth, 'cause you know that's the truth. It's this mixture of timelessness and immediacy that makes beabadoobee's music distinctive, I think.īEABADOOBEE: (Singing) You don't need me as much as I need you as much as I need you. Or it could have come from some kid being cleverly moody in a TikTok video she posted just last night. The vocal on this rumbling ballad sounded to me as though it could be as old as a girl group single from the 1960s by The Marvelettes or the Shirelles. I confess I didn't recognize whose voice it was, but that was partly because it sounded like so many people. KEN TUCKER, BYLINE: I first heard beabadoobee's new song "Talk" on the radio. Why'd you have to be so complicated? complicated. Now she's just released her second album called "Beatopia." Rock critic Ken Tucker says she's expanded her sound dramatically with a wide variety of intriguing new songs.īEABADOOBEE: (Singing) Call you up on a Tuesday, say what's up? Babe, it's too late. Born in the Philippines and raised in London, she's a 22-year-old singer and songwriter who first attracted attention in 2017 making solo songs she began posting to YouTube. Bea Kristi Laus uses the stage name beabadoobee.
