Betty Who - The Valley (2017)

The 25-year-old Australian-born and Los Angeles based pop star is hoping that 2017 keeps her busy, after she broke out with the dance-pop hit "Somebody Loves You" in 2014 and spent most of last year on the road. Since then, Who (real name: Jess Newham) has moved to Los Angeles, gotten into a serious relationship and experienced the personal growth that she says naturally comes when you enter your mid-20s. "On this album, there's still grieving about my last relationship, or talking about friendships that have fallen apart over the past couple of years due to the nature of my job -- but I also think it's much more self-assured." The difference between who you are when you re 22 and who you are when you're 25 is not just some casual difference. I feel like I'm just this completely different person." Who has released two songs this year: a warm, electronic cover of Donna Lewis' "I Love You Always Forever" and, more recently, the dynamic dance track "Human Touch," which will be included on her sophomore album, The Valley.
