Betty Reed is a Nashville, USA-based singer songwriter who first caught our attention through her acoustic folk renditions of her EP Mistakes Made, Lessons Learned. Now she’s back with something of a different sound. Her latest is called Without You.

Without You is driving modern rock, with a lively riff and hammering drums. Betty’s vocal soar over it all during an emotive verse that leads into a fist-pumping, anthemic chorus. The lyrics speak of emancipation, and discovering that, in some cases, life is better alone.

It’s another strong outing from an artist who knows how to write powerful lyrics and set them to pop-infused arrangements. There’s so much to love about Betty’s music. You can check out Without You below.
