Betsy shares new single 'You Won't Love Me'

Betsy has confirmed plans for new single ‘You Won’t Love Me’, taken from her much-anticipated, self-titled debut album (which will be released on September 29 on Warner Brothers). This follows the success of recent track ‘Little White Lies’, which picked up support across Radio 2, 6Music, Virgin Radio and saw Betsy make her TV debut (with two breakout performances in Germany, plus ITV’s Weekend show and Britain’s Got More Talent in the UK). Betsy’s European headline tour – featuring London’s Scala on November 30 – is on sale now.

‘You Won’t Love Me’, writes Betsy, “is about someone I was madly in love with, and someone who I should not have been for so many reasons. I felt like he loved me because he couldn’t be with me and also because he liked the idea of me being a singer, but I really felt that if we took the relationship any further it would all crumble to dust. You know when it’s the wrong love because it feels so much stronger.”

With her powerhouse vocal range, direct ear for hooks, no-nonsense attitude and unerring ability to locate the sharpest grid references of heartache in music, Betsy is a once-seen, never-forgotten pop proposition. Crossing elements of soul, euphoric dance and (in the case of ‘You Won’t Love Me’) soaring, gospel-soaked power ballads, her self-titled debut album is shot through with unflinching lyrical honesty, and draws from an unlikely musical background.

Angus and Julia Stone Share 'Chateau'

Multi-platinum selling duo Angus & Julia Stone share the exquisite video for new single ‘Chateau’. The video stars leading Australian actors Courtney Eaton (Mad Max Fury Road) and Dacre Montgomery (Power Rangers, Stranger Things Season 2).  Set in the magical surrounds of Mexico City, the video finds its two young protagonists embarking on a surreal and colourful adventure – stealing Angus & Julia’s car, crashing a decadent wedding and leading the guests to an underground disco. The young pair fall madly in love in the process, against the stunning backdrop and hypnotic vibes of ‘Chateau’.

‘Chateau’ is the follow up to previous single ‘Snow’, the title track from the band’s forthcoming new album. The new album, released on September 15, features twelve glorious tracks penned by Angus & Julia together. It’s the next chapter in an immensely successful career, accounting for over half a million album sales in Australia alone. The Sydney-born siblings produced and largely engineered ‘Snow’ themselves in Angus’ cottage studio, Belafonté, in the Byron Bay hinterland.

"It was quite magical because Angus and I have never spent that much time together, just the two of us," says Julia. "There's always at least an engineer or tour manager but the last phase of writing and recording was just eight weeks of him and me and the quiet of the land. It was a beautiful time. We have very different styles of writing but they seem to work together. In a way, it’s the differences that make it sound the way it does.”

Since the duo began performing together in 2006, their three albums have amassed multi-platinum sales, whilst recent single ‘Snow’ hit #1 most played on Australia’s triple j, having accrued half a million video streams and more than three and a half million audio streams.

Angus & Julia Stone recently announced a run of European & UK dates in support of their forthcoming new album. The new live plot, which makes up the band’s biggest tour to date, sees support from hypnotic singer songwriter, Isaac Gracie, who has recently released ‘The Death of You & I’, a track lifted from Isaac’s forthcoming EP of the same title. The tour also includes a date at London’s Brixton Academy on November 7.
