"Neon Summer Skin is the first album I wrote with an intention. I was sorely missing the places and people I came from, and the nostalgia was all consuming. The writing process became a way to revisit those places that feel elusive to me now. For those reasons, these songs are intimate in a different way."

Bedouine is a wonderful artist with peaceful, emotive, atmospheric, melodic folksy songs who I've been absolutely loving for the past few years. This will be her fourth album. If you're in any way interested I really recommend checking her out if you haven't heard of her. Another thing I enjoy about her is that I can just tell through her music that she is a sweetheart, a thoughtful and kind-hearted person! Her personality seems to really shine through in her songs and lyrical content. She is balm for my soul.

Out June 5, 2026

I love her.

I really like the lyrics here:

If you feel the world’s against you

It’s as though the world has fenced you in

And just about everyone but you

Has got it figured out

If you feel you’ve lost the thrill

Nothing left to thaw the chill

You’re feeling tardy to the grind

Dear, we’re always right on time

If you feel the trouble’s all around

The trouble’s drawn around

Someone else’s frown

It’s fine

We’re always on time

If you feel you’ve dropped the ball

It’s as though it’s curtain call

You wonder what’s the point

Think you may have met

Your very last hurrah

If you’ve got to climb that hill

Wonder if you fit the bill

You're feeling as though you’re behind

Dear, we’re always right on time

If you feel the hurry’s all around

And worry at all costs

Before everything is lost

It’s a crime

To not take your time

We’re always on time

Out today.

Another really lovely and comforting album from Bedouine! Sometimes I need music like this. Quite often lately actually 🥲
