“AWAKE”: Tycho has been known for years as a consummate chillwave electro-aesthete, and not much has changed on his most recent release, “Awake”, the titular track on his 2014 album. – Location/Formed: Sacramento, CA, USA/20022 SOUNDSIMILAR: “ Somebody Loves You” – Betty Who “ Dancing On My Own” – Robyn “ Hurricane” – Owl Eyes NUTSHELL: Yet another Australian breakthrough act, Betty Who hits the floor running with most recent single “Heartbreak Dream”, which features a kick-drum pulse of ’80s synths and lush pop production. All-in-all, a great indie pop track to start off our week! The effortlessness of Betty Who is captivating, from the vocal honesty of Newham to the sleek production of Peter Thomas and the signature ’80s pop sound he crafts. It’s more about the kind of relationship you probably should end but for some reason neither of you can – nobody’s happy, nothing good is happening, you complain about it all the time, but you just don’t end it.”ĭespite the somber tone of the lyrics, “Heartbreak Dream” manages to come off as an upbeat pop romp that could easily be misconstrued as anthemic. A lot of my songs are like that, looking at complicated relationships rather than just being about being in love and being happy. Newham summarizes this off-center appeal in her description of the lyrical content of “Heartbreak Dream”: “It’s not really a breakup song. Her brand of electro-pop has oft been compared to the likes of Robyn and Katy Perry, but there is something more of the indie spirit in Betty Who’s music, as is evidenced on “Heartbreak Dream.” “HEARTBREAK DREAM”: Betty Who, aka Jess Newham, makes music that is just a little bit different.
