Song of the Week- Heartbreak Dream by BettyWho

In the world of modern pop music it can be hard to get a foot in the door, considering the fact that such heavyweights as Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are really monopolising the market. But if she plays her cards right, BettyWho might just be the next big star, particularly if her music remains of such a high calibre. Moving on from the release of her stellar E.P. The Movement, BettyWho has kicked off 2014 in style with the release of Heartbreak Dream, a glittery, massive synthpop tune that just commands your attention and which has that sense of being a hit single from the moment you hear it. Wrapped around a solid pop chorus that is supremely catchy, the song finds BettyWho telling this person of how they were once so great, but now things have gone awry and they are living in this dreamlike state of heartbreak. The melancholic essence of the song is nicely offset by the shimmering synths and booming beats, creating and 80’s inspired pop sound that is grand and gorgeous to listen to. To top it all off, we are given a vocal performance that rises and falls in just the right way and flows with this dreamy, passionate quality that puts you in a euphoric frame of mind as a listener. Creating strong pop tunes that still have heart and depth isn’t the easiest thing in the world, but BettyWho makes it seem like anyone can do it, and with more songs like this on the way it is only a matter of time before everyone knows this artists name.
