Australian-born, LA-based pop star Betty Who, 27, has just released her third album, Betty, and tells WHO about the song …
… that was the first one she ever bought
Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time” on tape, with “Sometimes” on the B-side.
… that inspired her to be a singer
Any song off The Sound of White album by Missy Higgins.
… that reminds her of her family
“Fields of Gold” by Sting for my dad, and “Now and Forever” by Carole King for my mum.
… that takes her back to being in love for the first time
“Yellow” by Coldplay.
… that she wishes she’d written
“King of Wishful Thinking” by Go West.
… that makes her turn the radio off
“Down” by Jay Sean. No diss – I’ve just heard it a million times!
… that gets her on the dance floor
Anything by Beyoncé.
… of her own that had the most surprising impact
My cover of “I Love You Always Forever”. I didn’t expect anything out of it and it’s my most successful song to date.
… of her own that gets her the most emotional
“Missing You”.
… of her own that has helped her through a difficult time
“Wanna Be” has applied to multiple people in my life so it’s constantly evolving for me.
