AceShowbiz - Beabadoobee has returned with a new grungy single, "All I Did Was Dream of You," featuring the ethereal vocals of The Marías’ María Zardoya. The British pop-rock artist blends heavy riffs with melancholic lyrics, creating a haunting atmosphere that is elevated by Zardoya’s soprano on the second verse.
In the track, Beabadoobee wistfully sings, "Stay, stay/Stay or just leave me be," while María Zardoya follows with the line, "Nightmares always feel like/They swallow me/But I let go." This collaboration highlights a delicate interplay between their voices, adding depth and emotion to the song.
Alongside the single, Beabadoobee released a visually striking music video filmed in Vilnius, Lithuania. The video captures a wintry and cinematic mood as the singer traverses various scenes, including a bar filled with hockey players, a butcher’s shop, and a frozen lake. The serene snowy setting takes a darker turn when a car explosion occurs, yet Beabadoobee walks through the chaos unaffected, adding a surreal quality to the narrative.
The video was directed by Jake Erland, Beabadoobee’s longtime partner and creative collaborator. He drew inspiration from Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2025 film Bugonia, particularly the intense final scene. In a recent interview, Beabadoobee expressed their shared admiration for Lanthimos and confirmed that while María Zardoya was unable to appear in the video, her vocal contribution was invaluable and she remained a strong source of encouragement throughout the process.
This release marks a cinematic and emotionally rich chapter in Beabadoobee’s evolving sound, showcasing her ability to merge grunge influences with compelling storytelling and collaboration.
