Beks has enjoyed stand-out achievements such as selling out her 2023 headline Sydney show for the launch of her single ‘Devoted’, as well as sharing the stage with artists like Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Vera Blue, and Girli in London.
She’s played iconic venues and festivals like Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day, Brisbane Fashion Week, Suncorp Stadium, Big Gay Day, and Pride Festival.
Plus, Beks showcased her versatility recently with a credited role in ‘Young Rock’ season two on HBO.
Now comes ‘The Best Part Of Breaking Up’, created in collaboration with legendary songwriter Richard Rudolph, who is renowned for his work on Minnie Riperton’s ‘Lovin’ You’ from 1974. They joined forces in early 2023.
Fresh from heartbreak in New York City, Beks and Richard transformed the pieces of her broken heart into a song of new beginnings and possibilities.
“This song healed me. By the time I'd made it to Richard in LA, I'd already showcased at SXSW, written in Texas, Nashville, Miami, and gotten dumped in NYC,” Beks reflects. “I was a mess, physically and emotionally. But Richard, with his calm and experienced demeanour, not only assured me I'd be healed by the end of that day in the studio but that I would thrive beyond the suffering of rejection and bloom into greatness.”
The video for ‘The Best Part Of Breaking Up’ hits the internet today too – directed by Beau Bressington of Bread Productions.
“We had one week to turn an idea into a creative collaboration of hustle, ‘f… around and find out’, and quick-witted knowledge of film to deliver a music video for Beks’ latest single,” Beau says.
“We wanted something simple, but impactful, something that pulls you in, waiting for the next scene to appear – an adventure with minimal resources, and I think we did that, all under a 5k budget.”
’The Best Part Of Breaking Up’ is out now. Beks’ debut EP ‘I’m That Girl’ is out on 22 March.
