Beware the “Next Big Thing” tag. Those three little words, full of crippling expectation and limitless pressure, have followed Betty Who around since the Australian charmer’s shimmering “Somebody Loves You” went viral thanks to a video depicting the sweetest marriage proposal to ever commence between the crowded shelves at Home Depot.
Two EPs, a record deal with RCA and an opening slot on Katy Perry’s tour Down Under paved the way for the classically trained 23-year-old’s debut, Take Me When You Go. The album fits right in with the type of ladies whose empires need only a first name descriptor, but fails to elevate this Sandra Dee doppelganger above the pack.
