New Soul Music Duo The Black Bettys Release New Ballad “U Belong 2 Me”
“U Belong 2 Me” is the lead single from the R&B duo The Black Bettys’ forthcoming new album written by Kipper Jones & Sherita Murphy of The Black Bettys. The song, an Aretha Franklin-influenced Soul jam, features soaring vocals from The Black Bettys with Jones’ signature lyrical style. The song is produced by Rodney Edge.
About the song, according to Jones, “The Bettys came to me with the hook idea around the time the shelter in place order started. When they sang it for me, it was so Aretha Franklin, that I couldn’t help but take a deep dive into the ‘Queen’s’ well of influence. So from a songwriter’s perspective, I tried to stay as true to that first feeling.“
Rodney Edge was the perfect call to craft the music for the piece, but making it authentic would require all live instruments. “‘Light bulb!’ We’re in a pandemic, and everyone’s at home. So, we reached out to Atlanta’s A-list to round out the band. No one said no! Technology allowed us to share files.”
“U Belong 2 Me” can be streamed on all platforms today as well as on their website at theblackbettys.com
