A small introduction to the girl known as Betty Steeles... By her own admission, it’s bludy difficult to sum up the personality that is Betty Steeles but simply to describe her as a singer that adores melody and mixing words up to paint playful but rich and often uplifting stories, would belie the complexities that linger within the day dream world that the 28 year old North Londoner occupies.
As Betty confesses, some of her favourite things in life are going in to my own mind and daydreaming up the most uplifting and imaginable things possible and, playing out films in my head that and big hot bubblebaths, lying in late afternoon sun and doing things with a cutie!
Her music is arguably easier to define and is in essence ‘friendly pop’ comprising of songs that approach without fear, prejudice or pretense. It is unashamedly melodic that is both fresh and catchy but also at times slightly odd and kooky. It simply wants to make your acquaintance and get to know you and as such possesses a childlike innocence, demonstrated perfectly by the opening lines to the track Mudslide; I’m sliding down mud slides so thick, finding another person to dip in. Ironically, it is this quality that also gives a naivety and vulnerability to the honey sweet productions, which the lyrics to Bus Boy beautifully surmise I trust you yet I don’t even know, my bus boy at the very last stop.
