Becky Hill
Becky Hill’s second album, ‘Believe Me Now?’ is an effervescent, uplifting dance record that insists on credibility but reaches out confidently for its audience without once compromising on authenticity. Lyrics reflecting on love, self-worth, living life and letting loose sit alongside songs about loneliness, isolation and betrayal in a brilliantly empowering way. This wrecking ball of a record is ambitious, truly exhilarating and paves the way for a type of dance music where uncompromising production lives harmoniously alongside instantly captivating choruses, as witnessed by the Chase & Status-produced, Platinum-selling single, ‘Disconnect’. Hitting the Top 10, the epically anthemic track perfectly treads the line between the rave and radio. “When I thought about what had come before now, I realised I was missing a couple of things: specifically, the element of euphoria but also, I wanted to create a much more mature, sophisticated level of dance music in this album. I think ‘Disconnect’ is the perfect example of that.”
Becky has already achieved a huge amount over the past decade, but of course there’s so much more left to do. “I’d love my music to be resonated with across the globe. I’ve love to have a long lasting, fulfilling artist career that isn’t boundaried by being the young hot stuff on the scene but where I can continue to lead and pave the way for other women, other people wanting to do this genre of music. I’d love to have real longevity in this industry. I feel like some of my goals have aligned but the one that’s remained constant is that I just want to make great music,” she insists. “She’ll be doing this into her sixties, right? “Oh, trust me, I’ll be raving forever!”
