Beth Keeping might not be a name you’ve heard too much of yet — but if you’ve spent any time on a solo trip with your headphones in, there’s every chance her music has already found you. The UK-based singer-songwriter has been quietly building a devoted following through some of the most honest, emotionally precise storytelling in contemporary pop, and with her latest EP coming into the light out now, the wider world is starting to take notice.
Inspired by Lauv, Delta Goodrem and Welsh folk legend Martyn Joseph, Keeping has always been a songwriter first. Before stepping into the spotlight herself, she spent years writing for other artists across Singapore, Ireland and the USA, honing a craft that would eventually power her own debut EP, recorded in Nashville. That background shows — her lyrics do exactly what the best songwriting does: they feel specific enough to be personal and universal enough to make you think she wrote them about you.
The pandemic gave her a push she perhaps didn’t know she needed. Close to a million TikTok views later, she turned her focus fully toward her own music, releasing her 2022 EP I Still Think About That Moment. Its standout track ‘Plane Tickets’ became an anthem for solo travellers everywhere — an empowering, wistful little song about choosing to find joy in the life you’re actually living rather than the one you thought you’d have by now. It landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday and New Pop UK playlists, and found its way to listeners across the world who needed to hear it.
Her follow-up EP coming into the light, released in late 2025, goes deeper — slow burn love, anxiety, disappointment, and the particular courage it takes to keep showing up anyway. It’s her best work yet, and ‘Slower’ is the kind of track that earns its place in a playlist permanently.
Beyond the music, Keeping has put her energy into making the industry better for others. She founded Write Like A Girl in 2018 — a movement championing female songwriters that ran two UK tours and sell-out writers’ round shows in London, Newcastle and Bristol before wrapping in 2023. She was also named a 2023 Ambassador for Yamaha Music London. She even has her own Coffee Club for fans — a community that’s more than a mailing list, because of course she’s the kind of artist whose relationship with her listeners goes beyond just the streams.
Go find coming into the light. You’ll want to know her before everyone else does.
