“And when I get too high, and I can’t breathe / I can’t lie, he has the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen.” Men with pretty eyes – that’s something we can all get behind, beabadoobee (Bea Kristi) 😍.  That said, on “Ever Seen”, the eighth track on the Filipino, Gen-Z musician’s 2024 album, This Is How Tomorrow Moves, he first describes the beauty of her eyes (“Said I had the prettiest eyes he’d ever seen”).  Oh, love, what a beautiful and glorious thing.

On “Ever Seen,” the singer/songwriter has experienced her fair share of issues.  While the literal high of love is part of the equation, beabadoobee has also experienced the high of substances, asserting  in the first verse, “Can’t help going through it / Swear it’s just the comedown that made me do it.” Word.  She adds, “My mind’s spent and I show it.” In the second verse, the musician is transparent about mental health issues, singing, “I’ve been through this too many times not to notice / It’s been rough, but I’ve felt worse / I’ll pull myself back up.” Bea sings radiantly in the song which she penned herself.  Jacob Bugden and Rick Rubin produced it.  Their contributions behind the boards are sweet.  The accompaniment, much like Bea’s voice, is gorgeous.  The backdrop is colorful and rhythmic and sounds optimistic despite the past setbacks the singer has experienced.  As “Ever Seen” progresses, the instrumental grows more robust.  This song is a surefire bop.
