Betsy unveils gospel-infused pop explosion "Time"

17 March 2016, 15:00 | Written by Laurence Day

Pop newcomer Betsy is sharing new single "Time" on Best Fit ahead of her debut EP's release.

This is the second song from upcoming short-player, and follows the enormous title track/lead single, "Fair".

"Time" is a propulsive, passionate three minutes of gospel-infused melodies, quivering organs, and grand emotional gestures. This song showcases the depth of her booming vocals - which sound instantly iconic - and with each word you can hear her strain against the confines of technology. Betsy is a force meant for the live arena.

Betsy says the song is about "an addictive relationship with a new love. I was angry the day I wrote this, and in a 'if you don't treat me better, I'm off' sort of mood."

The Fair EP is out via Warner/Columbia on 18 March.

Stream "Time" below.
