| Betty Who - Convertible Nights |
If I told you Betty Who was a
svelte Aussie pop princess peddling uplifting melodies full of fun and sass
you'd probably tell me that we've already got one of those and to jog on. But
hold on there, soldier, this is no Kylie copyist. No, Betty Who is more 21st
century and has taken her influences from a more modern source. Take 'All Of
You', for instance, which opens the EP and is full of Katy Perry's energy and
Ellie Goulding's breathless vocals. 'Alone Again' is more wistful and while
still retaining the Perry influence there is something more Robyn-esque about
this one. Then comes 'Runaways' which has a throbbing, seductive bass line and
a sense of mischief that will have teenage girls singing along in shared
defiance while middle aged women sing along in bars across the world, finding
their escape in the bottom of a wine glass - it's a Friday night anthem in the
making. The final track in this collection is, ironically, called 'Lovin Start'
and is a delight in backwards electro-soul with the odd 80s influence in the
guitars but otherwise a thoroughly modern feel. All in all, Betty Who presents
a light, refreshing pop alternative with an occasional dark edge - perfect.
