Rising Canadian pop electronic sensation Betta Lemme returns with a brand new EP ‘Ready For The Weekend’

Betta Lemme surges with intimate and expansive ballads that ebb, flow, and burst with lyrical wit that hits all the emotional pressure points. A maverick at heart, Betta tackles themes of mental health, identity, love, and loneliness with both playful curiosity and pensive finesse as she reminds us of the fleeting ever-flowing nature of the human condition. Just by its title it may seem like another bubblegum pop record, but within seconds listeners will realize Ready For The Weekend is a masquerade for the hidden angst and uncertainty many wrestle with when they’re trying to believe in something so fragile and impermanent.

She says: “I remember being a kid and going to school, and looking forward to the weekend. But as I grew up, I noticed how the work week would take my mind off of real life depression or anxiety. I began staying busy or keeping busy as a means to stay afloat in order to power through these emotions. I started to notice myself feeling worse as time slowed down on a Friday afternoon. Ready for the weekend (even though it sounds like something to be excited for) was more of a way of hyping myself up for the two days that felt like silent agony.”

Her debut title track “Bambola”—sung in English, Italian, and French—became a hit around the world and amassed over 100M+ streams. Looking back, she reflects, “My debut EP was my baby. I was able to put all of myself in that project, thanks to Rick Markowitz and Scott Harris. So It’s a body of work that I’m incredibly proud of. My first EP Bambola was filled with these vibrant royal colors like gold, silver, crimson. It was rich and worldly in both sonics, vibrations, intent and texture. High soaring. Chin high. It encapsulated my dreams and gave me strength.”

Betta Lemme Brings Us New Hot Single “Girls”

June 28, 2021

With her new sophomore EP, Betta has engineered a melodic canvass rich in introspection where she reflects on the transient nature of contentment and fluid definition of norm. “For the Ready For The Weekend EP, I was dreaming in plastics, blue, aluminum, and impermanence. Deep plunges into deep blues. Much like a weekend, naming the EP encapsulated the feeling of the fleeting moment that never lasts.”

The following single “I’m Good” takes listeners on a French detour where Betta captures the heavy hearted weight of isolation. “My black heart is cold like Montreal,” she sings in French. The dripping piano keys brimming alongside the thumping synths yield an exquisite contrast of textures as she wrestles with the feeling of longing for someone. At the halfway point with “GIRLS”—co-written with GRAMMY-nominated Jenn Decilveo (FLETCHER, Miley Cyrus, Marina) and Jordan Riley (Dua Lipa, Mabel, Sigrid)—Betta ventures into brighter waters where she declares her love for Princess Diana and David Bowie while embracing the fluid beauty of her own sexuality. On “Cry”, she breaks down the stigma around the very act by turning it into a cathartic and empowering moment that serves as a way to acknowledge and get in touch with one’s vulnerability. Similarly, “Ce Soir” addresses the overwhelming desire to feel whole again, hoping that her iPhone’s Siri will discover the perfect remedy to return to one’s former self. But throughout the track, there is the hopeful knowledge that even the most gut-wrenching moments are always temporary.

Ready For The Weekend swings between melancholic instances and mischievous moments as Betta Lemme offers a close-up into the ephemerality of our surroundings, emotions, and perceptions. These are intimate, heart-stopping tracks where Betta displays a more ambitious songcraft and deeper personal narratives that mark a new chapter for her. 

Betta is excited to partner with global advocacy organization, Global Citizen to help advance and connect the causes she and her fans feel passionately about, with a unifying focus on defending the planet’s climate and demanding equity. Whether it’s to make us dance or raise awareness, Betta continues to use her voice to amplify causes and topics that are close to her.
