British singer and songwriter Bettina BCB shares her brand new single Messy Girl, an upbeat, confident piece of electro-pop music.
Messy Girl is Bettina’s clapback to gossip, warning those that spread rumours about them that things won’t end well for them if they continue with it. An empowering, confident song beautifully conveyed through Bettina’s expressive vocals which glide effortlessly over an upbeat blend of electronic, R&B, pop and hip-hop to create a sound reminiscent of early 2000s Timbaland-era pop, with a fresh, modern twist. I am particularly fond of the driving beat, cool rhythms and rich electronic textures that really make it stand out and super catchy!
The single is my clapback to the gossip mill. I got so used to people talking and hearing crazy rumours about myself that I figured, ok bet, I can be all of that if you want me to, but it’s not gonna end well for you if I do. This song is a challenge to everyone who thinks they know me better than I do, and can’t keep my name out of their mouths. I also really wanted to make something danceable and urgent for those absolutely unapologetically feral nights at the end of summer, when you know it’s about to end so you just go full send on the chaos and the messiness.
