What’s this? The brand new single from Swedish artist Be The Bear. Her second. ‘I Don’t Want To’.
What was the first one? It was released last year – the beautiful, majestic ‘Erupt‘.
What’s this one like? Surprisingly very different, actually! For ‘I Don’t Want To’, she’s abandoned the melancholic tone of her debut and has gone all out heading the other way. It’s a bubbly, super-fun number in which she sounds like she’s having the time of her life singing about her own defiance.
What’s with the artist moniker btw? Be The Bear, real name Christina Wehage, confirms: “I used to dream about them every night, chasing me up old wooden staircases. When dreams come back again and again, I think it’s because you’re trying to deal with something. I wasn’t facing my fears and challenging myself”. And so Christina became the bear herself.
You can find ‘I Don’t Want To’ on our Best New Pop playlist.
