This Is How Tomorrow Moves

This Is How Tomorrow Moves is the third studio album by the Filipino-English singer and songwriter Beabadoobee. It was released by English independent label Dirty Hit on 9 August 2024. It features the singles "Take a Bite", "Coming Home", "Ever Seen", and "Beaches". “Real Man” was later released as the album’s fifth single. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, making it her first to do so.

Beabadoobee had released two studio albums since 2020. With the release of This Is How Tomorrow Moves at age 24, critics started calling it her first "adult" album. The singer pivoted to new themes, moving away from the teenage angst on her previous records. It is primarily an indie rock record which incorporates dream pop and indie-pop heavily influenced by the early 2000s.

On 9 May 2024, Beabadoobee released the album's lead single "Take a Bite" to moderate commercial success, peaking at number 68 on the UK Singles chart. She also announced a North American tour, starting in Philadelphia on 8 September 2024 and concluding in Los Angeles on 28 September 2024. On 5 June 2024, she released the album's second single, "Coming Home." On 11 June 2024, she announced a United Kingdom tour in support of the album, starting in Glasgow on 11 November 2024 and concluding in London on 21 November 2024. On 1 July 2024, the album's third single, "Ever Seen" was released. The album's final single, "Beaches" was released on 7 August 2024.

According to the review aggregator Metacritic, This Is How Tomorrow Moves received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 80 out of 100 from 17 critic scores. Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.6 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.

Ciaran Picker of Dork described the album as "remarkably assured." Writing for The Skinny, Oscar Lund wrote that the album was "sentimental", "emotive", and "infectiously catchy" but also "a little too safe, [...] generic, and reserved." Maya Georgi of Rolling Stone praised the album's production, writing: "Thanks to the help of Rubin’s attentive production style, the album ventures into new territory but makes it feel worn-in." Reviewing for Slant Magazine, Jeremy Winograd wrote that the album's hooks "practically creep up on you before they burrow their way into your brain." Ashley Bardhan of Pitchfork wrote that the album "sometimes douses its introspection in unnecessary syrup." Writing for The Observer Kitty Empire described the album as "well-produced, beautifully played, elegantly arranged."
