BE is the second studio album by English rock band Beady Eye, released on 10 June 2013.[1] The album has been produced by Dave Sitek who has previously produced records for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio and Jane's Addiction. The album debuted at number 2 on UK's official TOTP charts.[2]
The first single "Second Bite of the Apple" was released in May 2013, it has so far peaked at number 112 in the UK.
Promotion
The first song released from the album was "Flick of the Finger", although this song will not be the first single.[3][4] The song peaked at number 138 in the UK. The first single from the album was due to receive its first UK Radio airplay on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 programme on 15 April 2013, but Zane Lowe then announced it has been rescheduled to the 29 April.[5] The first single to be released from the album is "Second Bite of the Apple", which was performed live on BBC talent show The Voice UK Semi-final on Saturday 15th June 2013. The song charted at number 112
Release
The band used a largely Internet-based promotional tactic that required people to share the Beady Eye website to unlock different stems of "Flick of the Finger". The album leaked online in its entirety 2 weeks before its official release on 10 June. The bonus edition features 4 extra tracks.

Since its release, the album has received positive to mixed reviews. Simon Harper of Clash Magazine said, "Shades of light and dark ripple throughout and keep the listener guessing... (On 'Soul Love') Liam Gallagher's cosmic vibe is matched by the first distinct stamp of producer David Sitek's ambient adventuring, which commandeers the second-half of the song, letting it drift dreamily skywards. This is what permeates BE, making it sonically enchanting." In a 4/5 review from Daily Express, they said, "'Second Bite Of The Apple' is a complex, soulful shuffle, arguably the most Lennon-esque piece Gallagher has recorded, 'Soon Come Tomorrow' a truly great pop tune with phased guitar and 'I'm Just Saying' an exercise in sheer exuberance with a counted-off refrain that will be echoing around a stadium near you soon." NME gave BE a 7/10 review and remarked that "BE is certainly an improvement on Different Gear, Still Speeding, but it's more of a tentative step in the right direction than a great leap forward."
