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.
