Hear Betty Jane's next song before it's released at bettyjanemusic.com!
One of Betty Janeâs earliest memories is of flipping through her dadâs vinyl collection of Motown & soul records. âWe only went to church so I could sing in the choir,â she laughs. âWhile most normal families stayed for the service, weâd duck out as soon as I was done and head home to spend that sacred day blasting soul musicâ - a different, but no less powerful, kind of gospel. Itâs no wonder that, despite years of classical studies in voice & piano, BJ ended up eschewing the traditional in order to immerse herself in the more familiar genres of jazz, rock, and soul.
Those influences are on clear display in her songs. Featuring illustrious NYC session musicians and highlighting BJâs harmonic prowess via vibrant background vocals, her songs mix retro soul, vintage girl group, & a pinch of edgy pop rock to create a modern version of the tunes you mightâve found her family enjoying back in the day.
