She made her infamous debut in the song “death bed (coffee for your head)” with Powfu in 2020, which went multi-platinum in most people’s houses, who were as chronically online as I was during lockdown.Â
Since then, she’s had multiple hits such as “Glue Song”, “the way things go”, “the perfect pair” and so much more! When she was going viral, I enjoyed her music; however, I wasn’t as invested in her artistry just yet, as I was going through a transition in music taste at the peak of her virality.Â
It wasn’t until late 2025 and into 2026 that I started investing more in her music. I took a deep dive into her discography and while trying to connect with her musically, I found myself connecting my own experiences to the scenarios she described in her music.Â
Which, ideally, is something I always look out for when uncovering a new artist. To connect with someone through the form of art is such an intimate experience. I’ve always found myself connecting with people much more easily, especially when it is something musical or fashion-related.Â
Honing in on her newest album “Pylon”, the best way I could describe it would be along the lines of “a love letter to your ex-lover who you’re still deeply in love with, but the two of you split because life got too complicated; however, you still have so much respect and love for one another and you’re just waiting for the right moment for things to fall back into place.”
It felt as though she spent the entirety of the album reminiscing about different parts of a person she missed, trying to cope with the fact that she knew things were never going back to how they were. I’d say that for anyone going through the emotions of a breakup, this is the album for you.
It uncovers love, loss, nostalgia and acceptance. Things that, as you transition from a teenager to a young adult, become harder to understand as you let go of childish emotions and embrace a plethora of new ones. The old ones are still there, but their appearance has changed too.Â
While taking a deep dive into her internet personality, I remembered her controversy being dubbed the “beabadobe crash out” online. I remember when that tag was going viral all over social media and as I watched, all I could focus on was the word “crash out”. I could never understand what was wrong with her voicing her uncontroversial opinions.
In fact, my hot take then and now still is: all that the internet showed that day was the awareness of how fragile a male ego can be. Which, in turn, only reinforced the idea that a woman cannot speak on anything to do with men regarding their relationship with women, without it being seen as them being “salty” or “bitter”.Â
As a collective, most of the men speaking out about her and the ones watching said that they weren’t going to listen to her anymore as a result. To that I say, more music for us! Go check out “Pylon” by beabadobe; trust me, it’s worth the listen!
