Beabadoobee Session with Julie Slater Ahead of This Is How Tomorrow Moves

Discussing writing and recording the new album

Recorded at The SoCal Sound Studios, performing 3 songs + Interview

Beabadoobee has a new album titled This Is How Tomorrow Moves, and before the album release, she joined Middays host and SoCal Sound Music Director Julie Slater for a chat!

This album is the third full length studio album for Beabadoobee, following the release of Beatopia in 2022 (Beabadoobee did a session with Gary Calamar during for that release, watch that here!)

This album was recorded by legendary producer Rick Rubin at legendary Shangri La Studios in Los Angeles. During the interview with Julie Slater, Bea recounts the pre-production meetings with Rick Rubin, and Rubin insisting that instead of playing the demos recorded in London, “He was like, no, I want to like, listen to the songs like how you wrote them in your house, like acoustically. So we learned the songs overnight. Pretty stressed. And then I played him the entire album on his guitar. When we listened to it back and I realized, oh damn. Like, I could probably release all these songs without all the instrumentation and I think it could be pretty cool… I think it was just by doing that made me realize that these songs were full songs that I'd written by myself, and that in the studio, I don't necessarily have to … I always felt the need to talk in the studio despite not feeling like there was a need to or like I would always come up with idea that was kind of like, oh, just for the case of just saying something. And for the first time ever, I was like, I don't need to talk. I've done all the work like I've I've made these songs by myself. I've written them in my house of experience, all these things. And if I need to say something, I'll say it. But yeah, I've never really felt that before.”

Beabadoobee performed 3 songs; “Ever Seen”, “Coming Home”, “Beaches”
