Australian singer-songwriter Betty Who, who released her last album “Betty” in 2019, dropped a new single last week called “Blow Out My Candle” and sat down with Culture Q on Revry to discuss it. The new song celebrates self-confidence and self-love, which inspired her music video where she dresses in spandex. She says that Jamie Lee Curtis in the 1985 film “Perfect” was the visual reference she used, as she says that this was how she was inspired to express herself. “I want to be myself and I want to go for it,” she explains.

She also says that the music video represents where she is in relationship to her body and how she doesn’t want to “hide it” and fully embraces it in the music video. “I think putting myself in a position to be really vulnerable in my body because I’m in a leotard and I’m really bearing it all, in that way felt really, as much as it was vulnerable and a little scary, it mostly felt liberating.”
