Bea Miller Gives Update on Second Album, Talks Touring with Selena Gomez: Interview
Bea Miller is following up the 2015 release of her debut album Not an Apology with an especially busy 2016: Along with opening for Selena Gomez on the Revival Tour, the 17-year-old singer-songwriter is done writing her sophomore album, and tells Fuse that she hopes to release it “as soon as we can.”
As a special treat for fans, Miller will release “Yes Girl,” an emotional new mid-tempo song, this Friday (May 20) as a preview of her in-the-works full-length. Written with Ilsey and Pop & Oak, the beguiling track hints at the more complex pop sound coming on her next LP.
“I wanted to combine a live aspect, live instruments, with programmed instruments, in a way that nobody really does in pop music, at least not right now,” said Miller during a call late last week. “I wanted to come up with something that was really original and true to me. Oak was the first person, out of all the producers I’ve worked with, to capture that immediately. It was this whole new feeling.
“I called the A&R from my label and said, ‘This song completely captures how I feel lyrically and musically,’” she continues. “It has live drums, live bass and live guitar, and also has programmed instruments, and it melds together evenly and fluidly. I knew instantaneously that this was the song I was looking for.”
