bittymacbeth - Choose You [live at Esplanade Outdoor Theatre]
This is an idea central to the music of one-woman-band bittymacbeth, whose debut album Beauty For Ashes, hit #1 three days after its release on iTunes and Apple Music on the Top R&B/Soul charts in Singapore. This success comes after having her two previous singles, Haters Gon’ Hate and Californian Dream, which were produced together with Dru Chen, reach #4 and 3 respectively on the same charts.
Her physical album launch at Esplanade Recital Studio was sold out and the album received critical acclaim in Juice and Bandwagon. Straits Times Music Correspondent, Eddino Abdul Hadi, reviewed the album:, stating that bittymacbeth has “… refined songcraft and impressive chops. The singer, bass player and songwriter might be a new name in the scene, but the list of seasoned collaborators on the release - from The Sam Willows' Benjamin Kheng to Young Artist Award recipient Ruth Ling - shows how much faith the local music fraternity have in this bright young wunderkind.”
In the spirit of her generation’s DIY approach, bittymacbeth, real name Beth Yap, composes, arranges, co-produces all of her own music - jazz sensibilities are balanced with radio-friendly melodies, complemented by funky basslines and a whole lot of soul. The same DIY approach applies to her live solo shows as a one-woman band, where she creates an orchestra of sound using only live-looped bass and vocals.
