Traumatic Livelihood is the debut studio album by English singer Jazmin Bean, released on 23 February 2024 through Aswang Birthday Cake, Interscope and Island Records. After gaining attention with their debut extended play Worldwide Torture, Bean signed to Interscope and Island and began working on an early version of their debut album in 2021 but decided to scrap it and start afresh after recovering from an addiction to ketamine in mid-2022. Bean worked primarily with producer Matt Schwartz, alongside Jonny Coffer, John Feldmann, Travis Barker, Imad Royal, Ilan Rubin, Jessica Winter, and others. Traumatic Livelihood is a pop, alternative pop, and pop rock album that departs from the electronic and heavy metal-influenced direction of Worldwide Torture in favour of a softer, more grandiose pop sound marked by orchestral arrangements, recurring use of strings, and unexpected rhythmic and stylistic shifts. Its lyrics explore Bean's past experiences and traumas, addressing topics including sexual abuse, addiction, self-loathing, identity, and relationships, whilst encompassing themes of redemption, retribution, empowerment, and healing.
