Whisper

"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | Day 11
"Whisper" by Betty Who

Betty Who has featured on my playlists a number of times, and she keeps popping up because I keep discovering new songs of hers that I love. This one appeared on my Spotify recommendations this year, and it's a perfect fit for the synth pop sound that I've come to really appreciate about her. I also think it's really cool that they're enjoying a bit of a career breakthrough. They've been a popular performer in the LGBTQ+ community for years, but started to branch out this year in a lot of ways, including an appearance as Persephone in the Tony-winning musical Hadestown. She also happens to be a classically-trained cellist who is also a self-taught piano and guitar player who wrote her first song at age fourteen. The stage name "Betty Who" comes from the title of a song she wrote when she was sixteen.
