Alt-pop alchemist Bea Elmy Martin has never been one to rush. Her new single ‘Where We Part’ is proof of what can happen when an artist takes time to let things breathe. This isn’t just a song; it’s a meditative unfolding — the kind of track that sinks its teeth in softly, then stays with you long after it ends.


‘Where We Part’ is Bea’s first offering since her breakout Blue Escape in 2021, and it’s evident she’s spent the time between releases building something bigger than a comeback. There’s a natural evolution in her sound here — not a reinvention, but a deeper descent into her world. The track begins with her signature piano lines and spectral vocals, then gently expands into a lush, evolving soundscape that flirts with trip-hop, indie-folk, and ambient pop without ever committing to just one.


What sets this track apart is its emotional layering. Inspired by grief but not trapped in sadness, it explores the weight of quiet endings — the kind that don’t explode but still leave you gutted. Bea captures that feeling with a delicate touch, wrapping soft harmonies and intricate textures around lyrics that feel lived-in and raw. It’s less about heartbreak and more about what happens after — the stillness, the recalibration, the slow rebuild.


Goldsmith’s production shines without overpowering Bea’s voice — he provides a shape-shifting sonic bed for her to move within, and the result is seamless. Fans of artists like CMAT or FKA twigs’ quieter moments will feel at home here. There’s a confidence in the restraint, in knowing exactly when not to add more.


With ‘Where We Part’, Bea Elmy Martin steps into a new phase of her artistry — one defined by trust in silence, depth, and process. Lifted from the accompanied album, Under The Yew; it’s a world we’re invited into, one detail at a time.
