2011 Press

"... A strong, engaging, and hugely entertaining live performer with a wry sense of humour." - Maverick Magazine (UK)

"... Moving and compelling original compositions … served up in a home-produced musical brew that’s nestled snugly somewhere between the poles of folk, gospel, twang and indie." - Folk and Roots (UK)

"Possibly the only second generation Korean country singer in Texas, her classic voice belies her ancestry and her diminutive stature, her songs both nail hard and duvet soft in the first two tracks alone." - Q Magazine (UK)

"BettySoo is a rare talent that stands head and shoulders above many country wannabes." - Country Music People (UK)

"Only five feet tall and petite but with an astonishingly powerful vocal range this album adds real grit to her heartbreaker ballads." - Electric Ghost (UK)

"She’s got the delicacy of Priscilla Ahn and the feminine strength of Dolly Parton – not a combination you get to see every day." - Line of Best Fit (UK)

"BettySoo’s third full length album sees her teaming up with legendary Americana musician and producer Gurf Morlix to produce her best work to date." - Beat Surrender (UK)

"... Heartbreakingly sweet ballads." - AllGigs (UK)

"This album is replete with the kind of clear-voiced, slow-burning, slightly self-conscious angst that melts hearts." - Irish Times

"...proves in the first few seconds that she is currently one of our most powerful female singers." - PennyBlack Music (UK)

"Gurf preps for the finish line with heartbreaking steel guitar, and Betty's voice can knock everyone out in a way that very strongly fixes herself in the minds of her listeners." - Hooked on Music (Germany)

"BettySoo’s voice goes straight for the pericardium, as if to establish a direct link between the ears and the heart." - Bluesbunny (UK)

"Heat Sin Water Skin is a great delicious dollop of Americana, country, dirty electric guitar parts enhanced with delightfully subtle Hammond touches." - The Music Critic (UK)

"[BettySoo] is best known for heartbreaker ballads and bell pure vocals..." - BillyBop (Belgium)
