With her driving, cutting edge sound and the incessant sense of energy and excitement that permeates her work, US artist Betty Reed has been steadily making a name for herself over the last few years, building a catalogue of stellar tracks in the process.

The latest addition to this catalogue is the new single ‘Without You’, a rock-edged alternative pop bop about pushing away from people that try to hinder you and hold your back. This sense of attitude is prevalent throughout, with the artist’s emphatic vocals and the crashing guitars around them conjuring a real feeling of defiance and an empowering dynamism. ‘Without You’ is an anthem for anyone that feels like they need to break away from toxic people or situations to thrive and truly be themselves, and the melodic nature of the track and impact that is has makes it the perfect soundtrack to you doing so.

“The meaning behind ‘Without You’ is similar to my song, ‘Karma’ in that the best revenge against the naysayers is succeeding in life on your own terms.” Betty says of the track. “When people try to strip you of your confidence, it is very demoralizing. You have to claw back your dignity, which is no easy task.”
