The new video for Caroline is of particular importance to Park in that it gave her the ability to write in a different compacity than songwriting. On speaking about the new video, Parks stated in a social-media post that she was really inspired by the idea of people watching and empathy and I’ve been writing short stories since I was about 7 or 8 so it was incredible to be able to come back to that original first love in terms of writing.

Brock Neil Roberts worked closely with Parks on this video and she made sure to mention that it was an honour to work with him on this video. Parks went on to describe their creative process, saying they both really love the idea of creating these really human, visual portraits and we were inspired by photographers such as Nan Golding, Wolfgang Tilman and Ren Hang.

When discussing her upcoming album, Parks credited her love for writing and storytelling once again, saying that the album is a series of vignettes and intimate portraits surrounding my adolescence and the people that shaped it. It is rooted in storytelling and nostalgia – I want it to feel both universal and hyper specific. Caroline is a perfect manifestation of the attempt to tell a story and recreate adolescence.

Parks is ending the year with a triumphant new single and music video, however she began 2020 just as busy at the height of her career. She embarked on her first headlining tour in Europe in early Spring before the virus was in full swing, and eventually had to cancel the bulk of her Summer tour-dates due to safety concerns surrounding Covid-19. The tour is officially canceled and Parks looks ahead to 2021 to tour her new album Collapsed In Sunbeams.

You can watch Park’s newest music video for Caroline above, and the latest single is available on all streaming platforms today; this includes her number hit single Black Dog. Her album Collapsed in Sunbeams will be available world-wide January 29th and tickets for Park’s European tour can be purchased now.

as well as the song, I want to announce my debut album “Collapsed in Sunbeams” it’ll be with you on 29th of January 2021. I poured my tears, blood and joy into this project. https://t.co/TBcIrJT1Lu pic.twitter.com/E6elyrZmOB

The British-Filipino artist’s latest single follows suit with the other released tracks off of the upcoming debut album, Care, Worth it, Sorry and How Was Your Day?, as an ode to 90’s alt-rock music with a taste for basement vibes. Her video release today for Together features the lead singer with spiked 90’s hair and her style has a punk-rock aesthetic that pays homage to early Avril Lavigne. This portrays a  new alt-rock-pop-persona that is growing in popularity because of young artists like Beaboadoobee transitioning into the genre.

Baebadoobee is uniquely talented at merging genres, namely alternative rock and pop, with a certain flare that keeps her music fresh and specifically youthful. Her moody distorted vocals and the classic rock guitar riffs are married to lyrics that millennials are particularly drawn to.

In keeping with younger audiences, Baebadoobee first gained popularity through YouTube videos and releases before signing with Dirty Hit Records where she went on to release the EP Coffee that catapulted her into the cult-following she now has. Coffee was described as a bedroom hit because of the stripped back and intimate nature of the recording’s final cut.

However, the brand new single Together is more of a production heavy hit. The single features a heavy drum and electric guitar that would make this a loud break-out single against her more acoustic pop hit Coffee. Baebadoobee has been transitioning into alt-rock forms of pop since 2019 when she released the hit single She Plays Bass which was the beginning of the introduction of alternative rock vibes into her music. She Plays Bass continues to trend as the hottest record on BBCRadio1 even tonight.
