Cruz Beckham releases debut EP amid family speculation

Overview

British musician Cruz Beckham released his debut EP, ‘Wear & Tear’, on 21 August with his band, The Breakers. The six-song collection has prompted fan speculation regarding its lyrical content, specifically whether tracks like ‘Seeing Red’ and ‘Loneliest Boy’ reference his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, or his estranged brother, Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham. In ‘Loneliest Boy’, lyrics regarding a ‘loneliest boy’ and a mother with a breaking heart have been linked by listeners to Brooklyn’s earlier public fallout with the family.

Addressing the speculation, Beckham described ‘Seeing Red’ as a ‘comedic interpretation of a totally unserious moment of frustration’ involving sports competition. The song’s music video features the band playing soccer, which some interpret as an homage to David Beckham’s career.

Following his North American tour, Beckham made his musical debut at the Reading Festival on the Canopy stage. His parents, David and Victoria Beckham, attended the performance alongside siblings Romeo and Harper. During the set, Cruz dedicated the song ‘Mr. Nobody’ to Harper, who later joined Cruz and his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, on stage to distribute t-shirts to the audience. The festival appearance was part of the ongoing tour supporting the ‘Wear & Tear’ EP.
