A star in the making, Bethannie Hare has recently released her debut effort, the elegant, stunning gem ‘Minds Under My Skin’. Now, the fact that’s a debut record is quite deceptive. In reality, Hare has been conquering audiences throughout her life, especially since moving to London in 2022. Her cathartic and malleable vocal tone is almost legendary, as her many sold-out shows can attest.
‘Minds Under My Skin’ merely represents Bethannie’s formal entry into recorded music, knowing full well that there are a whole lot of people waiting for it. How could they not be? The song alone is incredible, so classy and lush, yet melancholic and wonky. Built over neo-soul and acid-jazz influences, the piece evolves into a celebration of Hare’s nuanced artistry, the opening of a glorious chapter in the British music landscape.
A keen observer of the reality around her, the rising songstress eloquently delves into the lyricism behind ‘Minds Under My Skin’: “The song is all about not being happy with yourself, which I think social media plays a big role in. People constantly compare themselves to edited, filtered images, often feeling inferior and unhappy as a result.”
