bea spoke about the inspiration behind the new track in a press release.
“I wrote ‘Talk’ just after my first album,” she says. “I was obsessed with Tuesday because I thought it was the best night to go out. Not too much chaos but just enough to have a good time. Generally, it’s about doing things that aren’t necessarily healthy or great for you, but you can’t help indulging. It’s like that unavoidable feeling that you get. You can’t get rid of it, and you know it’s bad, but you love it really, and it’s whatever, so you do it anyways.”
The press release also calls Beatopia a “fantastical yet deeply personal world that was formed in the imagination of a 7-year-old beabadoobee and has been carried with her ever since.” You can preorder the album here.
Watch the Alexandra Leese and Luke Casey-directed music video for “Talk” below.
