Our Extended Play was written and produced with The 1975’s Matty Healy and George Daniel.
Beabadoobee has released a new track titled Last Day On Earth. The tune offers fans their first glimpse into Beabadoobee’s next project Our Extended Play, which was also unveiled yesterday (24 March) alongside the lead single. The EP was co-written and produced by The 1975’s Matty Healy and George Daniel. It’s scheduled for release this spring.
Speaking on the new single, former Crack Magazine cover star Beabadoobee said: “Last Day On Earth is about all the things I would have done had I known we were going into a lockdown and the world was going to change the way it has. It was written shortly after the first main lockdown and lyrically it’s me reflecting on how it would feel if we all knew ahead of time what was going to happen. All the things I would have done if I knew it was the last day of our old normality.”
Our Extended Play was written and recorded on a farm in the Oxfordshire countryside, with Matty and George working with Beabadoobee – real name Bea Kristi – and her band on a slew of new songs. “It was really nice being able to create together, my first time writing and recording on a farm,” adds Kristi. “I wanted to experiment on the sounds and sonics even more and the EP to me has a feeling of togetherness to it… how we’re all in this joined as one.”

The EP follows Kristi’s debut album Fake It Flowers, which was released last year. She’ll be taking the album on tour this autumn, with a run of headline shows lined up across September and October. Head to Kristi’s website for more information.
The 1975 have also been busy collaborating with the likes of Charli XCX recently. Find out more about their “supergroup” here.
