I’m fine, I’m great, I’m good, Without You.
Reed handles the song with ease – confident and believable. When she sings “I’m fine, I’m great, I’m good” with a timbre and tonality that rivals the depth of Pink, Avril and Hayley, we believe her. A full-fledged, break-up anthem – “without you, my heart won’t break of the shame you put me through…” – we envision crowds of single women jumping up and down, fists raised, shouting out the chorus like a right of passage.

Betty Reed | Without You
Without You starts on powerful drums and guitars before the full band sound quickly joins. Betty’s strong and characterful voice is obviously the focus and she means business. Betty’s belt voice is superb. There’s some great technique here and you can really hear the passion in her voice. She carries the attitude of this song well with great confidence.

Betty Reed | Without You
When the melody drops for the verses, Betty Reed’s vocals enter with an almost confessional edge. She effortlessly pulls you into the story of the lyrics and the experience of people who are meant to support you instead of holding you back. As she confronts the situation in the verses, she shakes off their hold with a strengthening flow on the chorus. Her performance rises to anthemic levels in the chorus.

Betty Reed Refuses To Be “Misunderstood”
“Misunderstood” is a smoky pop-country diss track with bags of attitude and energy. It’s a lovely slice of Nashville pop-rock, with a feisty feminist edge. For an artist who started releasing in 2020, Betty Reed is already showing herself a confident writer and assured performer, who would no doubt put on a good live show too.
Song Premiere: “Let It Out (Acoustic Version)”
The familiar bittersweet release of catharsis is poignantly portrayed here in this song by Betty Reed. Don’t mistake tears for weakness. “Let it out and start again.” It’s such good advice, and so beautifully delivered.
