Review of the EP by Maria Sherman:

B’s greatest work is their latest: tainted in our memories, six meticulously crafted tracks detailing the intricacies of specific social bonds. The first half centers on the external: identifying self-destructive patterns (like in the fuzzed out production of “hate me”), wading through toxic relationships (“stranded,” produced by collaborator simon m). “In the music video, red strings of fate that tie soulmates together. I view the other person as my soul mate but it’s not good for either of us. So, I break free,” they explain. “And ‘alone’ is about me fighting myself—Babebee is fighting me,” B says, carefully distancing their real self from their musician-self. “‘alone’ comes after a relationship, where you’re like, ‘I’m free!’ but then you realize you are alone.” They sing it best in the song: “Don’t leave me alone / Because I’m scared to be alone.”

But Bee’s music reminds us that we don’t have to be—as long as we find healing in a song. For them, it’s about learning to trust their instincts. That arrives on the second half, through the psychic toll of LA’s glamor and hedonism (in the textured acoustic balladry of “sunset blvd”, produced by anem0s), an internal reminder not to repeat unhealthy behaviors (“blame”), and the optimistic coda and title track, “tainted.” “The song sounds spooky,” they laugh, “But it ends well. It’s the good that outweighs the bad. It’s the most romantic track, actually.”

If anything, tainted in our memories is not a heartbreak release: perspectives are fluid; points of views shift like the stacked beats and harmonies of the EP. With each listen, there’s something new to find—to hear in the innovative production, and to learn about ourselves.
