Nuanced and poignant, ‘Beach Babe’ is a meaningful, relatable discovery. Built on modern pop ballad stylings, the track showcases Tom Skinner’s honest and fragile songwriting flair, matched only by his elegant, evocative vocal tone. A record that needs to be enjoyed in a quiet environment, tasting word after word, following Skinner’s emotional storytelling while it develops into a fully-fledged anthem.
Built on charming piano chords, ‘Beach Babe’ raises the intensity as it goes along, celebrating its quirky character with polite drums and a plethora of vocal harmonies. A sonic formula that seems to be working well for Tom’s artistic identity, often built on self-reflection and timeless themes. What’s more, the single anticipates an EP expected later this year, ‘’I’m sad so I guess I’ll overshare on the internet’.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Skinner explains: “It was highly inspired by a conversation with a friend, about being ‘kept at an arms reach’ but never too close. It explores what it means to fall in love, and fall in too deeply”.
