Rock Pop from Betty Reed

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Betty Reed is the indie pop sensation who’s been winning over fans and tastemakers alike with her heart-on-sleeve lyrical writing delivered via her commanding vocals wrapped up in a dazzling pop sound. Spinning a modern sound with wide appeal that channels the sonic aesthetic of artists such as Olivia Rodrigo, Tate McRae, Dove Cameron, Leah Kate and Demi Lovato, she weaves meaningful sentiments into her compositions that tackle her experiences with depression and anxiety.

In 2019, the Berklee College of Music graduate unveiled her artistic vision with the release of her debut single “Her”. Going on to drop a string of stunning singles, a remix album of her track “Drunk On You”, an EP titled Mistakes Made, Lessons Learned followed by an acoustic version of the release, she’s been going from strength-to-strength with each new move and racked up hundreds of thousands of streams of her music along the way.

Now she brings us her latest release with her brand new single “Shallow End”, showcasing the very best of her captivating songwriting on a timeless rock pop outing. Linking up with fellow Nashville-based producer Evan Redwine, with “Shallow End”, Betty Reed spins an uplifting and euphoric sound full of airy instrumental textures, soaring lead guitar work and her elegant vocal work carrying beautiful and memorable melodic leads.

Once again offering a sonic exploration of how she copes with mental health struggles, on her new single the artist crafts a graceful and enduring indie pop song that speaks directly to your soul. Commenting on the context of the single, she shares, “When depression sets in, it’s not like I’m in the deep end of a pool struggling to not drown. It’s more like this feeling that I’m floundering in the shallow end and there is an easy way to rescue myself. I merely have to stand up. But it’s hard to do even that when your brain is malfunctioning.”

Adding, “To get through a dark day, you have to believe with all your heart that there are better days ahead and lean in on those hopeful moments as your life preserver.”
