Dreamy four-piece Betty Taylor dropped their latest single ‘Glitter’ today and it’s already causing a stir.
Released via Australian indie label Hello Gardener, the song is a testament to Betty Taylor’s unique sound and songwriting skills. It’s a captivating track filled with twinkling riffs and enticing vocals that will keep you hooked. Despite its feel-good sound, the lyrics reveal a deeper meaning – calling out those who sugarcoat their words to make their relationships appear brighter than they are.
And, the four-piece didn’t stop at just a new song. They’re also gearing up for their first-ever headline tour. Fans can catch them in all their dreamy glory in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Wollongong throughout May 2023. In even better news for fans, most of the dates on the tour are free and you can check out the details here.
