Originally growing up in Leeds with a healthy fascination for all things soul and jazz, Bethannie Hare has always looked to develop a distinctive direction in which to call her own. And with her place now settled in the London scene, she is finally breaking free with her stunning debut single 'Minds Under My Skin'.

With a vocal perfromance that sees her hark back to the heyday of acts like Etta James and Shirley Bassey, her first offering is a broad and emotive example of her riveting aesthetic so far. With its sweeping textures that ebb and flow throughout, 'Minds Under My Skin' sees her launch what will no doubt be an exceptionally compelling career in the months to come.

It may be her only single to date, but there is something about her performance that gives Bethannie Hare a real edge over her contemporaries. Moving with this truly heartfelt approach to her sound at every turn, she is definitely someone we'll be keeping a close eye on for the future as well.
