In October 2023, Bean announced their debut studio album Traumatic Livelihood, set for release on 23 February 2024.[13]

Makeup

Bean became known on social media for their "extreme", "doll-like" makeup looks and pastel goth style, which they have described as "genderless monster".[14][15][11] They first started doing makeup as an early teenager while trying to recreate the looks of their Monster High dolls.[7] They run Cult Candy Cosmetics, a cruelty-free, vegan makeup brand.[14][10]

Artistry

Bean's music has been described as pop metal,[16] trap metal,[17] hyperpop,[10] alt-pop,[8] grunge,[5] and horror pop.[7] Paper's Jael Goldfine described their music as "freaky", "eerie", and "genre-bending".[9] They have stated that their music is inspired by film soundtracks, including those of the 2019 horror film Midsommar and the 2005 fantasy film Corpse Bride.[11]

Bean has stated that their style is inspired by Hello Kitty, Aswangs, Fraggle Rock, and Tim Burton films, and they have described it as a form of escapism.[5][4]

In 2022, Bean spent several months in a rehabilitation clinic for a ketamine addiction.[19][20] Prior to this, they had written the majority of their debut album while on the drugs, but decided to scrap it and start over after recovering "...to avoid any sense of ‘woe is me.’"[19]
