The Filipina-English singer/songwriter beabadoobee has officially returned with another fresh album announcement. Plus a killer new single that’s already making waves.
After that stellar one-off collaboration with the Marías, beabadoobee just dropped some major news on Wednesday. She announced her fourth album, Pylon, alongside the release of “Sun Has Set” as the lead single.
Pylon serves as the follow-up to her 2024 release This is How Tomorrow Moves. This upcoming project will mark her first full-scale collaboration with producers Jason Vance Harris and Luca Buccellati – which honestly sounds like a dream team.

“Sun Has Set” delivers exactly what you’d expect from classic beabadoobee territory. The composition seamlessly blends rock’s raw aggression – think distorted and flanged guitars – with an infectious pop rhythm that’ll stick in your head for days.
Lyrically, it’s essentially a tell-off track. The narrator addresses someone she previously had a solid relationship with, but things went south when they harbored secret romantic feelings.

This person isn’t handling her rejection well at all. So the narrator does what she has to do – cuts ties completely and leaves zero room for any closure or reconciliation.
“Sun Has Set” establishes a distinctly moody atmosphere for Pylon. This vibe aligns perfectly with how beabadoobee’s been describing the project across her social media platforms lately.
The track also sets incredibly high expectations for the rest of the record. When Pylon drops on September 18th, it’ll need to match this quality throughout – no pressure, right?
