“Ever since Taylor Swift picked up a guitar and took over the world, country pop became a staple of modern music. It’s also a touch stale. That’s where 20-year-old phenom Bethany Becker breaks the mold. The hallmark of her sound is sincerity through sweet innocence, wrapped in a self-awareness rare for her age. She also has pipes for days, and the simple yet effective songs of young love and self-discovery to back it up. Fairly certain we’ll be hearing more of Bethany Becker in the months and years ahead.”

“I feel that there has been a void in pop country left by Taylor Swift in the hearts of young girls around the world, and I think Bethany is just the girl to fill it. She brings the relatable tunes, fun songs to dance to, and some lyrics that can touch your soul. I found lyrics to be playful and silly all the way to wise and insightful.”

““Christmastime” came out November 24 and is looking to build a buzz. We really enjoyed the song and found it to fit right in with our Christmas music catalog (it’s quite extensive). The song is upbeat and catchy, you’ll be sure to be singing along in no time. Make the right choice and drive your neighbors crazy blaring Christmas music already. Go pick up Christmastime today!”

Bethany’s songs are based in the right of passage experiences of a typical teenage girl, but demonstrate a style and insight beyond her years. “Right Place, Wrong Time” even displays a healthy sense of humor towards the typically painful circumstance of unrequited attraction and affection. Her songwriting skills have been honed by working with several Grammy nominated songwriters, including Jeff Pardo. Earlier this year, Bethany signed with Spectra Music Group, which released “I Want Love” and made her a priority artist in their roster. In addition, several renowned music organizations have nominated Bethany’s songwriting and music videos for awards.”

Instead, think early Taylor Swift: pop-tinged country. “I Want Love” offers an innocent, earthy, upbeat anthem for those transitioning into adolescence. Hailing from Austin, the 18-year-old Becker proves she’s got promise on “I Want Love” which was written with a little assistance from Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer, Jeff Pardo.”
