London-based Bea Elmy Martin returns with her new single, “Anouk”, one of her most personal releases to date. The track is written about her best friend, whom she met at university, and captures the changes their relationship has gone through over the years. The songwriter explains, “While recording it, we were living on opposite sides of London, which was challenging at times, but we made it work.” That sense of distance, loyalty, and deep care is woven throughout the track.
Sonically, “Anouk” feels warm and intimate, built upon gentle acoustic layers and subtle electronic touches. Bea’s vocals are soft, clear, and full of emotion, and with the addition of a voice note from her friend, listeners get a glimpse into the relationship that inspired the song. “Anouk” is part of her upcoming release, Under The Yew (Vol. 2), which will see the artist delve deeper into themes of transforming real relationships into music.
“Anouk” is a testament to Bea’s ability to turn personal connections into something relatable that we can all feel. With each release, she invites listeners into her world in a way that feels honest and real.
