eabadoobee, a Filipina-British singer, announced that she’ll release her 4th studio album, Pylon, on 18th September 2026 via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records. An album written during the times of her tour about missing how people were and learning to accept the confusion within the uncertainty of being away. Bea mentioned that she wishes for her fans to, “listen, enjoy, cry, scream, and find your own meaning in Pylon when it’s out.”
The Sneak-peeks
Since June, she has been releasing previews, tracks, and visuals about the upcoming album for her fans. The first preview of one of Pylon’s tracks, Sun Has Set, was published on her Instagram page.
Fans have expressed their excitement by commenting that they can “feel the midwest emo in that riff.”
What Can We Expect?
According to multiple articles, Pylon may feature contributing artists like: Paramore, Deftones, Pinegrove, Turnstile, and Title Fight — which suggests that album could fall under the indie/alternative rock, grunge, and midwest emo genres.

The three released tracks guide listeners through a gritty, deeply emotional landscape. Sun Has Set delivers a raw and emotionally explosive gut-punch, serving as the frustration that comes with breakups and fall-outs. The atmosphere turns moody, tense, and darkly seductive with Switchblade, a grunge-infused track dripping with the inner conflict of standing your ground. Finally, Memories provides a beautifully complex contrast, pairing with an uplifting acoustic guitar riff with a deeply melancholic and nostalgic ache for moments that can never be relived. Emotions that align with what Bea spoke up about in one of her recent posts about the release of this album.
It has been confirmed that beabadoobee will be performing at The O2 Arena on 18th November 2026 in London, UK — one month after the album release date.
