New MV from bittymacbeth  =D  

COVID-19 cancelled the plans for a proper music video, but her peeps pitched in to make this a cute clip.   

“together, separately, my family/friends/fans filmed this in singapore, boston, LA and KL, while under lockdown. this music video was a welcome distraction from the limits of our four walls, and we hope it makes you all laugh as much as i did, and makes you dance as much we as did.”

Get Better (Not Bitter) is the title track from her recent album.

Music/Lyrics by Beth Yap. 

Produced by Orumo and Beth Yap

bittymacbeth getting slightly funky on this collaborative cover of a 李榮浩 song. (The singer on the track is Aizhou from Shanghai. FB:  Aizhou Music. Singer-songwriter/Pianist from Beijing, China. Hear more at her SoundCloud.)

Beth just started her 3rd semester at Berklee College of Music, lots of interesting things planned for this year:

bittymacbeth featuring iNCH and Dru Chen from her album launch exactly a year ago at Esplanade.  Beth is back from Berklee College in the US, and has already played a gig as part of the band for NyaLi's Your Own ep launch. (Definitely go check it out at bandcamp!)

NyaLi (Enya Lim) also attends Berklee, but seems to be based there full time. (Just came back to Sg for the ep launch, I guess).  This song is not on the ep, but it is quite nice:

bittymacbeth with the title track of her album, Beauty For Ashes   =D

Lovely song, lovely MV, but I really prefer to watch Beth play her bass, so let’s revisit the album launch at Esplanade Recital Studio last spring:

[Live performance of bittymacbeth's debut album title track, Beauty For Ashes, at her sold out album launch at the Esplanade Recital Studio. Performed with special guests iNCH, Ben Kheng, Dru Chen, Tim De Cotta, Zeeaura, Ariane Deborah and Shak'thiya. Backing band comprises NAzTyKeys, Feng Lee, Yap Ting Wei, Daniel Chia, Deric Tay and Ong Shi Chun.]

Beth is now in Boston to study, and she’ll be there for ‘a few years’. But she promises: “definitely more music coming y'all 🙌🏾”
