Billboard charting artist and Berklee College of Music graduate Betty Reed is shaking up Nashville with her edgy sound and contemporary take on indie-pop music. Her expressive vocals and clever lyrics resonate in every song. Drawing on life experiences, Reed relates stories of everyday life through her music. Struggles. Triumphs. Journeys.
“Drunk On You,” written and performed by Reed, is a pop song with clever alcohol-infused lyrics about a girl crushing on a guy — that feeling you get when you absolutely have to have something. “Drunk On You: The Remixes,” released worldwide in April 2020, charted on the Billboard Dance Chart. The 12-track album features six of the hottest EDM remixers, including Dave Audé, StoneBridge, Scotty Boy, Jadion, David Lei Brandt, and Silvio Carrano. Each remix version offers a unique beat and vibe, spanning the EDM music spectrum.
