Hot off her headline tour announcement last month, Beaks today shares ‘vanilla sky’, the final single from her debut album ALDIE out Nov 13 via dottidot. LISTEN HERE.

‘vanilla sky’ showcases Beaks’ ear for kinetic production with a hypnotic sheen. The track, led by the attitude “sometimes you just need proof that you are real, right, or how else are you supposed to know” extends itself into a space with stirring intimacy. Reflective of the depth throughout ALDIE, ‘vanilla sky’ sees a growth in Beaks’ creativity and emotionally charged, off-kilter sonic world. Through songwriting and true self-expression that embraces contradiction, across the album, Beaks traces the coexistence between ecstasy and despair with lyrical precision.

Continuing her plunge, ‘vanilla sky’ joins the Wonderland-acclaimed “dreamlike” ‘TY (robbed the bank)’, self-reflective ‘little silver’ and ‘Hit Me Back’, celebrated by To Be Magazine as an artist that “knows just how to hit the sweet spot, striking a balance between glassy-eyed woefulness and a lingering twilight haze”. With widespread acclaim across BBC 6Music, Still Listening Magazine, Dork, and more, Beakshas turned heads for her “starkness and up-close intimacy that isn’t dissimilar to what Lali Puna were doing back on Faking the Books” (The Line of Best Fit).

On ALDIE, Beaks explores the space between dreams and reality, examining the internal and external forces that blur the boundaries between the two. Coming together between July 2025 and March 2026 between travels  to NYC, Paris, Norway and Berlin, the record moves without sonic limits through a visceral blend of indie, pop, punk and electronic that cuts through the noise of a burgeoning landscape. Produced in collaborative studio sessions in Vienna with close friend Markus Windisch, ALDIE is replete with literary, cinematic and musical references to filter snapshots of life through her own writings, sometimes existentialist, sometimes orientated towards the pressure of modernity, sometimes both.

The project of experimental post-punk artist and writer Anna Francesca from Vienna, Beaks weaves revealing poetry through bodied anthems, landing somewhere in between waking life and a dream-sequence. A multidisciplinary artist, Beaks studied photography and graphic design while working as an international model, having walked for high-profile brands including Celine, Vivienne Westwood, Miu Miu, Chanel and more. Modeling, however, was always a side quest. In 2023 she released her debut single ‘I Dropped the Bottle’, which has since seen over 4 million streams and helped cement Beaks’ position as a resonant and immersive artist across multiple formats.

Celebrate with Beaks as she takes to the UK and EU on a headline tour run, bringing her debut album to Vienna, London, Hamburg and Berlin this November/December. For all details and dates see BELOW.
