When a talented indie artist attracts a major-label deal, the moment is mixed with both excitement and some worry. Hopefully he or she (or they) will receive the exposure they so richly deserve, benefiting from long-standing relationships the majors enjoy, while changing little about what made you fall in love with him or her (or them) in the first place.
I’m happy to report that all is as it should be in Betty Who‘s world, judging by her first single released as a member of the RCA roster. “Heartbreak Dream” is yet another killer pop treat crafted by Jess Newham and her producer pal, Peter Thomas, building upon the momentum of The Movement EP.
Suitably impressed when I heard this one live a few weeks back, the recorded version of “Heartbreak Dream” is everything this Betty Who-loving boy dreamed of. Well done, all.
Join the crowds bouncing up and down to “Heartbreak Dream” when Betty Who comes to a town near you this spring.
