There is absolutely no stopping Sunshine Coast’s Betty Taylor as they follow up their debut single, ‘Stallin’ with a brand new track, ‘Glitter’ as well as announcing an East Coast tour throughout May.

Released via Australian Indie label, Hello Gardner, ‘Glitter’ is an anthem designed to be screamed while you’re behind the wheel. First dreamt up in front-woman Sophie’s tent at Splendour in the Grass in 2019, it’s a captivating track, laced with tinkling riffs and alluring vocals that pull you close and never let you go.

While feel-good in sound and nature, the track lyrically calls out those folks who have a habit of sugar-coating everything they tell their partner, making false promises in order to make a relationship seem brighter (or glitterier) than it actually is. The song is an ode to freeing yourself from lies and coming to the realisation that you deserve better.

Betty Taylor have not wasted anytime following up on the success of their debut, ‘Stallin’ with this absolutely shimmering gem of 70s-tinged alluring indie rock. ‘Glitter’ is a multi-faceted track, bringing in touches of ‘Rumours’ era Fleetwood Mac, blended with The Preatures, sprinkled over a non-stop danceable rock beat. Bringing the rhythm section to the front, with the acoustic guitar laying the bed, gives more movement for front-woman Sophie’s powerful-yet-breathy vocal delivery, and Kayla Smart’s sparkling guitar lines. While ‘Glitter’ comes across as wistful and airy, this is an absolute freight-train of a song, full of self-empowerment, that will burrow into your head.

Produced and engineered by Aidan Hogg (who has worked with the likes of G Flip, Jaguar Jonze, Hope D and Eves Karydas) and mastered by Steve Smart (Midnight Oil, Empire of the Sun and Vance Joy), Glitter proves that while Betty Taylor may be the new girls in town, their musicality is rich, considered and progressive.

Want to see more of the Sunshine Coast besties taking bedrooms and band rooms by storm? Well you’re in luck because today Betty Taylor announce the details for their first ever headline tour, taking place across watering holes in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Wollongong throughout May. Most of the dates on the tour are free, so grab your mates or your date and get your dancing shoes ready.

Sydney and Melbourne folk have already had a taste Betty Taylor’s captivating live performance when they played support for girl in red’s sold out shows earlier this year. QLD locals will get a chance to see the band before their headline tour when they play Spaced Out Festival in the Gold Coast on 9 April. Head here for all live info.

Betty Taylor is made up of Sophie Patrick, whose indie hooks and honest poignant lyrics are complimented by Kayla Smart (AKA Dorah Jacson)’s beautiful harmonies and wistful guitar riffs. Helping to strike this perfect balance between power and charm are Clare Chittick on bass and Katie Ishaque on drums.

A four-piece to be reckoned with, these pals have a reputation for captivating audiences when they perform live. Despite only dropping their debut single Stallin’ late last year, Betty Taylor have racked up an impressive number of support spots including the likes of girl in red, Pacific Avenue, The Terrys, Teenage Dads, The Rions and Surf Trash.

Take in ‘Glitter’ now, available on all streaming platforms, and catch Betty Taylor on tour in May.
