				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">Singer-songwriter, Beabadoobee, has shared her ethereal and grunge-tinged single, ‘All I Did Was Dream of You,’ featuring American alternative band, The Marías. This is Beabadoobee’s first new music release since her 2024 album, <i>‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves.’ </i><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVy52-riBEG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">In her Instagram post, announcing the release, the singer said,</a> “I have missed this<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>i’ve missed youuuu and this year is going to be unreal.” Watch the cinematic music video below.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qV91x2YT9zI?si=E7kuFAU852bZQtXL" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p class="p1">Beabadoobee told <i>Dazed </i>she was inspired by Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2025 film, <i>Bugonia </i>when it came to the ‘All I Did Was Dream of You’ music video. <a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/69813/1/beabadoobee-spring-2026-issue-interview-all-i-did-was-dream-about-you?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnQUfj2T0_SKeUcuTG01pFOm1KVyb-nTNeJDKlhxlfPhQGAm1bs9OKETLmrAU_aem_C-vtDIv2MIdOErCN7Mj9jg">She said,</a> “that last scene [in the film] inspired the video.” Shot in Lithuania and co-directed by longtime collaborator Jake Erland alongside Lithuanian director AboveGround, the video opens on the image of a smoking car wreck, and ends with the fiery beginnings of the event. Between, are stoic and cinematic shots of the singer against various backdrops including frozen lakes, snow-covered city corners and bars decked in wood paneling. <a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/69813/1/beabadoobee-spring-2026-issue-interview-all-i-did-was-dream-about-you?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnQUfj2T0_SKeUcuTG01pFOm1KVyb-nTNeJDKlhxlfPhQGAm1bs9OKETLmrAU_aem_C-vtDIv2MIdOErCN7Mj9jg">The singer described the experience of shooting the video to <i>Dazed</i>:</a> “it was −17C there – I could have died! I was singing on this frozen lake; it was f**king crazy but it looks so beautiful.”</p>
<p class="p1">The Lanthimos inspiration is felt throughout the video through various uncanny images: the singer lounging on a bare bed as a crowd peers through the window at her, a desolate meat counter near closing time with the singer lying in a case next to the raw meats and dancing in a spotlight on a snowy field as a flare lights up the sky. The images call to themes present in the dream pop-alt rock song: longing, nostalgia, and the desire to understand others’ perceptions of oneself.</p>
<p class="p1">María Zarodoya, lead singer of The Marías, could not be in the video, <a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/69813/1/beabadoobee-spring-2026-issue-interview-all-i-did-was-dream-about-you?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnQUfj2T0_SKeUcuTG01pFOm1KVyb-nTNeJDKlhxlfPhQGAm1bs9OKETLmrAU_aem_C-vtDIv2MIdOErCN7Mj9jg">but Beebadoobee said</a> “she sang beautifully on the song and was really encouraging.” The Marías were nominated for Best New Artist at the 68<span class="s1"><sup>th</sup></span> Grammy Awards earlier this year.</p>
<p class="p1">Beabadoobee has taken two years off releasing new music of her own. But just earlier this month she contributed a cover of Eliot Smith’s ‘Say Yes’ to the War Child charity collaboration <i>‘Help(2).’</i> But 2026 is set to be an exciting year for the singer. <a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/69813/1/beabadoobee-spring-2026-issue-interview-all-i-did-was-dream-about-you?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnQUfj2T0_SKeUcuTG01pFOm1KVyb-nTNeJDKlhxlfPhQGAm1bs9OKETLmrAU_aem_C-vtDIv2MIdOErCN7Mj9jg">She says</a> ‘All I Did Was Dream of You’ acts as a “ a nice bridge to the next thing I want to release” and that she “can’t wait to release something.” <a href="https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/69813/1/beabadoobee-spring-2026-issue-interview-all-i-did-was-dream-about-you?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnQUfj2T0_SKeUcuTG01pFOm1KVyb-nTNeJDKlhxlfPhQGAm1bs9OKETLmrAU_aem_C-vtDIv2MIdOErCN7Mj9jg">She went on to say her two year break allowed her look at her music with</a> “more integrity” and that if she doesn’t believe a song is “perfect” she does not want to release it.</p>
<p class="p1"><a href="https://musomuso.com/news/beabadoobee-amp-the-marias-drift-into-a-dreamstate-on-their-luminous-new-collaboration%20 ">Critics have said the single is </a>“ a soft reset, a moment of stillness, a shared vision between two artists who understand the power of atmosphere. It feels like the start of a new chapter — not louder, but deeper.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dream pop icon and Cocteau Twins singer, Elizabeth Fraser, has had her otherworldly reputation proven even further as she has officially had an asteroid named after her by the International Astronomical Union. The asteroid in question is simplified as being named <em>“Fraser”.</em></p>
<p>Her label 4AD shared the news via their official social media last week on Thursday (September 28), to share the news. The posts <a href="https://twitter.com/4AD_Official/status/1707433362049114615?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1707433362049114615%7Ctwgr%5Efa69d80a814483ac16d29775e11d01334814958a%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nme.com%2Fnews%2Fmusic%2Fcocteau-twins-elizabeth-fraser-gets-asteroid-named-after-her-3507969">stated</a>: <em>“Yesterday, after 10 years of research, the International Astronomical Union have named the asteroid 2013 TF19, ‘Fraser’, after Elizabeth Fraser,”. </em>Also adding: <em>“It does not pose a threat to humankind and will not collide with Earth for millions of years. It can only be viewed using an advance telescope but luckily is available to see on @nasa’s website.”</em></p>

<p>Learn more about the astroid on <a href="https://twitter.com/NASA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nasa</a>&#8216;s website. <a href="https://t.co/KdNvLv3JGK">https://t.co/KdNvLv3JGK</a> <a href="https://t.co/rpojT9ULfI">pic.twitter.com/rpojT9ULfI</a></p>
<p>— 4AD (@4AD_Official) <a href="https://twitter.com/4AD_Official/status/1707433362049114615?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 28, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script>Fans took to social media to share their delight at a legacy being cemented in such a way, with one fan <a href="https://twitter.com/superblast66/status/1707488208051712032">saying</a>: <em>“One of the coolest things I&#8217;ve ever seen! For someone who truly deserves it for all the faraway places she takes us with her music.” </em>and another <a href="https://twitter.com/BronaMcVittie/status/1707754370924781772">noting</a>: <em>“Wow! The honour couldn&#8217;t go to a better singer”.</em></p>
<p>The asteroid was finally named after 10 years of research after being first discovered in 2013. The asteroid poses no threat to humanity and isn’t set to collide with Earth for millions of years. The asteroid isn’t visible with the naked eye but can be seen via an advanced telescope, of which images from said telescope can be found on NASA’s website.</p>
<p>It does indeed seem appropriate for Elizabeth Fraser to have an asteroid named after her, given her whimsical vocal style with Cocteau Twins, which has been described as otherworldly since the band released their debut <em>Garlands</em> in 1982. Cocteau Twins started to garner a strong following after their 3<sup>rd</sup> album, <em>Treasure</em>, which Robert Smith of the Cure called: <em>&#8220;the most romantic sound I&#8217;ve ever heard&#8221;.</em></p>

<p>After more releases across the 1980’s like<em> Victorialand</em> and <em>Blue Bell Knoll</em>, Fraser and Cocteau Twins released the highly influential <em>Heaven or Las Vegas </em>in 1990, with the band finally receiving mainstream success, landing at number 7 on the UK Albums Chart. The band followed this up with <em>Four-Calender Café</em> in 1993 and <em>Milk &amp; Kisses </em>in 1996 before breaking up a year later in 1997 whilst attempting to record their ninth album.</p>
<p>Elizabeth Fraser and her partner, Damon Reece released an self-titled EP last year under the name Sun’s Signature, with an extended version being shared recently on August 25<sup>th</sup> of this year.</p>
