Indie-pop singer-songwriter Ber has announced her debut album Good, Like It Should Be, alongside the release of her new single, “Book Cover”.
Having already released the two singles “Who’s This” and “Good, Real”, Ber’s new single uses gentle acoustic guitar and a country-tinged twang to create a warm, emotionally tender experience.
According to Ber: “I remember when I wrote it, I just started crying. Because all of a sudden, I had this image of how it felt to be really overlooked as a person. I wrote it before I’d met my boyfriend, when I was really lonely and felt like I couldn’t get anywhere in the UK, and no one would take me seriously.”
The track itself is a slow, pondering country-pop ballad, lovingly showcasing Ber’s warm, deep vocals as she sings “baby I’m a good lover/hot summer/if you let me I’d hold you like no other/I got four hundred reasons you don’t wanna leave” during each cover. Ber is ready and willing to experience love properly, and isn’t going to let something good pass her by after having waited so long.
As well as her new single, Ber has announced that her debut album will be released on April 3, 2026. Written largely in the US, Ber worked with collaborators Rob Milton (Holly Humberstone, The 1975) and Bradley Hale (Now, Now), and across its 12 tracks features everything from glittering alt-pop to warm country leanings, all as Ber matures and finds a more grounded version of herself.
She says, “It took me a really long time to figure out what the album was going to be called and what the track listing was going to be. I weirdly found myself in this place where we had too many songs, which was a blessing and a curse. Every time I would make any iteration of the album track list, it all centered around that song – not because I thought it was going to be some massive hit. But I just love it, and it feels really true.”
