Bea Kristi, aka beabadoobee, has had a rapid ascent since writing and releasing her first song (“Coffee”) in 2017. From that lo-fi, acoustic recording, she’s emerged as a vital indie rocker with seemingly unlimited hooks and riffs to deliver but without losing the wondrous sentimentality of her original release. “Are You Sure,” the opener to her 2019 Space Cadet EP, is a surging anthem that highlights Kristi’s immense songwriting prowess. She’s on track for guitar rock domination in the 2020s, so get yourself familiar before the beabadoobeassiance.
