I've been listening to Beabadoobee's "Patched Up" and I must say, it's a delightful introduction to this talented artist. The EP is full of relatable lyrics that explore themes of youth and growing up, with tracks like "Tired" and "Eighteen" really standing out to me. There's something so endearing about Beabadoobee's songwriting style, which is both raw and heartfelt. Her ability to craft songs that feel so honest and open is a real treasure. The EP's opening track, "Everest", sets the tone perfectly for the rest of the album, and it's clear that Beabadoobee is an artist to watch.

As I made my way through "Patched Up", I was struck by Beabadoobee's versatility - she seamlessly blends indie rock and folk elements to create a unique sound that's all her own. Tracks like "Dance with Me" and "Art Class" are great examples of this, and her storytelling ability is on full display in songs like "If You Want To" and "The Way I Spoke". What's really impressive is how mature her songwriting is, especially considering her age at the time of the EP's release. "Patched Up" is a wonderful debut that hints at the great things to come from Beabadoobee, and it's a compelling introduction to her musical journey. With its raw, heartfelt quality and talented songwriting, this EP is sure to resonate with listeners and leave them eager for more. - Jasmine
