Day 638: Loveworm by Beabadoobee

I first learned of this intriguingly named artist on one of the pretentious hipster Facebook music groups my friends added me to. The discussion was whether or not she was an "industry plant" because of the YouTube recommendations (hoo boy) and it quickly devolved into a shitshow about the term itself and sexism. My take is the concept of an "industry plant" does exist (sorry, but you're not gonna convince me someone like Clairo whose dad orders death squads against his subordinates in Africa trying to unionize, or someone like Nick Kroll who came from billionaire money, or someone like Jaden Smith who (oh come the fuck on) came up "organically") but fuck it, I'm willing to bet over half of the music I end up listening to from last millennium is from "industry plants" and if the music is good, who cares? Also, after doing some reading I'm thoroughly convinced this girl is an actual bona fide indie starter, if not her current "discovery" period. That will have no bearing on my opinion on this music, for which I've heard only an unrelated song from her, that Stephen Malkmus song. I didn't like it or hate it, it was just there. Anyways, enough of me making myself look even dumber, onto the EP review!

Yo listen up, here's the story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette
And everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen

I'm blue Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa

I'm blue Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette, it's in and outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I'm blue Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa

I'm blue Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette, it's in and outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I'm blue Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa

I'm blue Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa
Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa, Beabadoobee ba daa

Oh yeah the music, it was alright. Quite pretty actually. I don't care if she's an industry plant, I want more. That being said, I can see this style getting annoying pretty fast, so here's to hoping she diversifies her sound a bit.

Best Track: Angel
