beabadoobee has joined forces with the Marías for a new single called ‘All I Did Was Dream Of You’. It comes paired with a music video directed by longtime collaborator Jake Erland and Lithuanian director AboveGround. Check it out below.
‘All I Did Was Dream Of You’ marks beabadoobee’s first new music since 2024’s This Is How Tomorrow Moves, though she recently contributed a cover of Elliott Smith’s ‘Say Yes’ War Child’s benefit album HELP (2).
Talking about the new song in an interview with Dazed, Bea Kristi said:
I recently watched Bugonia by Yorgos Lanthimos – my boyfriend and I are fucking obsessed with Yorgos – and that last scene inspired the video… I made ‘All I Did Was Dream of You’ with María Zardoya from The Marías. She couldn’t be in the video, but she sang beautifully on the song and was really encouraging.
I made [the video] with my boyfriend and one of his good friends, Lucas, who is from Lithuania. It was −17C there – I could have died! I was singing on this frozen lake; it was fucking crazy but it looks so beautiful. It’s a nice bridge to the next thing I want to release.
I literally can’t wait to release something, honestly – I’m fucking dying. Since stepping back from everything, living in real life and seeing friends, I look at my music with way more integrity. Like, if I don’t think a song is perfect, I’m not going to put it out. And I know the discourse: what if a song you don’t like is someone’s favourite, but it needs to matter to me. I need to stop caring about what other people think. I’ve spent my whole life doing that.
