British-Dutch singer and songwriter BEA1991 is blessed with a deeply creative mind and an unbreakable trust in nonconformity. Instead of pursuing a formal higher education, Bea became a full-time artist, teaching herself everything she needed to know as she went along. Generating sizable hype after her debut single "Breadwinner" and the _Good Thinking_ EP, Bea started working with Dev Hynes on his acclaimed Blood Orange project; most recently, she has collaborated with UK producer Sega Bodega and recorded her soon-to-be released solo album. In this episode of Headphone Highlights, BEA1991 explores the emotional connection she has with music that speaks to you on a level beyond intellectual comprehension, from Brian Eno’s wisdom to the phonetic singing of Cocteau Twins and Osborne’s oddball bangers.
