Bea Asurmendi – “Asteartea”

Bea Asurmendi’s debut album “Asteartea” doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one category, and that’s exactly why it works. You can hear the roots, a background in jazz, a love for folk, and a clear respect for improvisation. But she’s not showing off, the record flows with the kind of sincerity that’s hard to fake. There’s a real sense of presence in the way it’s recorded, live rhythm section, improvisational vocals, everything landing just right without feeling overcooked.

The vocals are warm, expressive, and personal, never overly polished or dramatic. Bea’s voice carries emotion without forcing it, especially in tracks like “OIZYS”, “LOLA”, and “EUTERPE”. These songs give a solid glimpse into the kind of artist she is, someone who isn’t afraid to be soft and bold at the same time. The artwork keeps things unguarded and direct. The windblown hair, the blank background, the direct gaze, it’s simple and raw, but not theatrical, it fits.

If you’re into music that’s honest, well-crafted, and doesn’t dumb itself down, keep an eye on Bea Asurmendi. Follow her on social media to stay in the loop for what else she has coming in 2025.
