Betty Moon is back, and she didn’t waste any time reminding people why she’s stayed a cult favorite since her days on Toronto’s 90s rock and alt scene. Her new single “Want Me To” is the first taste of her upcoming six-track EP, “Strangely Beautiful”, landing April 17, and it’s also her first original release since 2021’s “Cosmicoma”. Fans have been waiting a while for this one, and it’s worth the wait. The song opens with attitude and doesn’t let go. Moon mixes rock grit, soulful warmth, and electro-pop shine into something that sounds both familiar and fresh. Her voice carries the track, sounding confident, playful, and fully in control from start to finish.
Betty Moon has spent decades doing things her own way, and that comes through here. She got her start in Canada’s music scene, had a brief run with A&M Records, then built her own label, Evolver Music, and has since put out more than 10 albums entirely on her own terms. That independence is all over this song. It doesn’t sound like anyone else because it isn’t trying to. Personally, this track scratches an itch that a lot of pop music misses these days. It’s got attitude and warmth without overdoing either one. It’s the kind of song you crank up in the car and reach right back to replay.
Given that her music has already landed in shows like “Californication”, “Dexter”, and “The Walking Dead”, don’t be shocked if “Want Me To” shows up on your screen before long, too. Add “Want Me To” to your playlist today, because this is a song that gets better every time you hear it. Follow Betty Moon on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube to keep up with everything leading up to “Strangely Beautiful” on April 17, and get ready for an EP that mixes rock energy, soulful grooves, synth-pop moments, and a few softer ballads along the way. Moon has been carving her own path for years, and this might be one of her best chapters yet.
