WHAT IT IS: Space Cadet is the third EP in one year on Dirty Hit from London-based artist Bea Kristi. Born in the Philippines and raised in the U.K., Kristi began recording music as Beabadoobee in 2017. Now just 19, she’s built a dedicated Gen-Z fanbase with her confessional bedroom-pop songs and odes to ’90s grunge. Her first track, “Coffee,” gathered hundreds of thousands of streams in a matter of days through a fan-uploaded video. Since then, her songs have amassed millions of streams.
