Beabadoobee Vinyl Records
Singer/songwriter Beabadoobee pairs delicately sung confessions with '90s-inspired guitars that pack a wallop. When she first emerged in 2017 with "Coffee" -- the first song she ever wrote -- her intimate, lo-fi sound reflected her love of indie songwriters like Elliott Smith and Kimya Dawson and fit in perfectly with bedroom pop contemporaries such as Clairo. By 2019, however, she'd stepped out of the bedroom's confines with releases such as 2019's Space Cadet EP, an homage to the sounds of Sonic Youth and Pavement that featured the track "I Wanna Be Stephen Malkmus." Even as she cranked up the volume, Beabadoobee held on to her music's frank yet vulnerable viewpoint on her 2020 debut album, Fake It Flowers, and the following year's Our Extended Play EP, both of which added more polish and ambition to her style.
