Beabadoobee Releases "Memories" From Upcoming Album "Pylon"

Beabadoobee has released "Memories," the latest single from her highly anticipated fourth studio album, Pylon, which is set for release on September 18, 2026. The song, available now via Dirty Hit/Interscope Records, offers a first look at the expansive emotional landscape of the record.

In describing the track, the artist, whose real name is Beatrice Laus, has called it one of the happiest songs on the album, though the lyrical content reveals a deeper, more complex theme. The music explores the uneasy act of romanticizing the past, focusing on the moment when fond remembrance becomes painful because the memory cannot be relived. Laus has explained the sentiment as "clinging onto ideas that should make me happy but actually make me feel sad, because I wish they were just moments I lived in forever." Sonically, the track is built around warm, nostalgic acoustic guitar melodies.

Pylon is presented as a wide-ranging and complex work, with songwriting that touches on anger, loneliness, exhilaration, depression, and intense romantic attachment. Laus noted that much of the album was written while she was alone in hotel rooms, a process she said reminded her of writing songs at age 17...
