London’s Bea Elmy Martin dropped ‘Lost’ on August 21, 2025, as her initial follow-up to the May-released debut Under the Yew, cementing her spot in the UK’s alt-pop scene through folk-pop release’s. She’s gained a solid backing from Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1, Lauren Laverne at BBC Radio 6, and features in Clash plus Wonderland, all hyping her detailed approach and signature ability of genre-mixing. Produced over two years with HÆLOS‘ Dominick J Goldsmith in her native turf, the album stood out for its cohesive intensity and personal sonic space.
The single explores alt-pop with folk-pop undertones, weaving folk lyric depth into textured alt arrangements for an immediate yet lasting feel. Sparse at the start, it builds around Bea‘s dynamic vocals, channeling that instinctive flow from a lyrics-first creation process.
With production handled by Goldsmith once more, ‘Lost’ pulls soulful pop and thoughtful folk threads, showcasing Bea at her most open and precise as a composer. It builds on her rep for emotional heft and adventurous sounds, proving her as a standout in the emerging wave. Bea Elmy Martin revealed: “‘Lost’ is about that feeling of drifting. The way we all move between being grounded and then suddenly untethered. But it’s also about the things that bring us back to ourselves. For me, that anchor is writing and music.“
