Beattie glided into our view as she took the stage during her most recent North-West appearance.

Opening Manchester’s Academy 3, for TikTok star Siobhan Winifred, Beattie graced the stage alongside her band. To describe the London-based musician in a phrase: If The Cure and Elliot Smith had a child, who eerily resembles Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval, they would end up looking and sounding a lot like Beattie.

The dreamy Wunderhorse-esque single ‘The Poet’ opened her set with a booming drums carving space for Beattie’s dreamy vocal; pulling the focus of those both familiar and not within an enchanted crowd.

Newest single ‘Lovelorn’ followed suit, a song expressing the desire to reconnect with her inner child, embodying the feeling that you’ve lost touch with that part of yourself through growing up – a feeling that’s far too easy to resonate with.

She immediately Followed it up with some, as yet, unreleased tracks ‘I Know I Am’ and ‘Lucky’, these were more shoegaze-esque tracks showcasing an exciting future, and great versatility, for the indie artist.

Beattie had an assertive energy throughout her set switching seamlessly between accompanying her vocals on bass and cradling the microphone in such a way that was starkly reminiscent of Sandoval’s.

Speaking briefly between each song, Beattie sweetly provided context before each one. From toxic loves – to living with anxiety – she invited the audience completely into her world for that time. Open, endearing, and pure.

She Closed out the impressive set with her highest streamer ‘London’ where she conveys the conflict of both liking and disliking the city simultaneously. The Fontaines DC infused track perfectly closed out her spell in the spotlight to a captivated Manchester crowd.

This performance perfectly cemented why Beattie’s is fastly taking her place as one to watch in the coming years – demonstrating exactly what she has to offer.
