22.Beabadoobee –Fake It Flowers
Beabadoobeeemerged in 2017 with her first single, “Coffee” (which later went viral on TikTok early this year), but a better intro to her music was 2019’s “I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus,” an ode to the influence of Pavement. The songwriter’s debut LP,Fake It Flowers, takes on ’90s nostalgia, offering hints of Lush, Elliott Smith, Veruca Salt, Sonic Youth and…Pavement. But Bea Kristi still makes the record feel innatelyhers, penning deeply personal lyrics about mental health struggles, difficult past relationships and finding love with her longtime boyfriend. –Tatiana Tenreyro
