There’s a slight sonic shift here, too. While the established sounds of her previous two records, ‘Fake It Flowers’ and ‘Beatopia’, are evident in the amped-up guitar licks, Bea’s distinct hushed vocals and folk-flecked moments here sound more refined. This could be the impact of one of the album’s exec producers, the illustrious Rick Rubin. For ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves’, Bea swapped London for the producers’ Shangri-La studio in Malibu.
Indeed, track ‘Beaches’ was inspired by being in LA and the rediscovered trust Beabadoobee had in her own songwriting skills thanks to Rubin’s support, the Cali sunshine permeating the slack rock riffs. Elsewhere, the twinkling piano and skipping rhythms of ‘Real Man’, an eye roll about disappointing romantic trysts, evoke the folk of Clairo’s ‘Sling’, while she dabbles with Bossa Nova on ‘A Cruel Affair’ and there’s a lilting country twang to ‘Everything I Want’.
On the gorgeous ‘Girl Song’, a piano-lead ballad that showcases the very best of her songwriting, she strips things back. With just a simple piano accompaniment straight out of the Great American Songbook, she opens up about her own self-esteem, revealing she’s “just a girl who overthinks about/Proportions or her waist/The creases on her face”. Later, she admits: “All I want to do is find the words to make it up to you/Making all the same mistakes, I guess there’s still a lot to prove“.
