Watch beabadoobee’s Tiny Desk Concert
Songs from her new album Beatopia and one unheard demo got the acoustic treatment inside NPR’s offices.
beabadoobee‘s 2022 project beatopia continued Beatrice Kristi Laus’ hot streak thanks to its carefully crafted yet effortlessly fun collision of genres — even at its most allusive moments, it still feels like you’re listening to a mixtape comprised of the music of her life. Today, NPR released her long-awaited Tiny Desk Concert, where three Beatopia songs and a previously unheard track got the acoustic treatment.
Backed by a three-piece string section and an additional guitarist, beabadoobee offers fans and new listeners alike a peak into the undeniable songcraft that underpins her vibrant pop music. She and the band open with “See You Soon,“ the album’s Bossanova-inspired hit, followed by “Perfect Pair” and “Ripples.” She ends with “Glue,” a song she wrote just a month ago.
beabadoobee is currently winding down her 2022 North American headlining tour. After a break, she’ll head out next spring with Taylor Swift for her Eras Tour. In October she shared a cover of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.
