Betty Boo is back with her brand new banger Shining Star!

Saturday 14th May 2022

Betty Boo follows up her first new music in thirty years with a new single today. 

Shining Star is a guaranteed party starter, a Friday night disco monster and a green light for Boomaniacs to start the dance wherever they are. As Betty herself says: "Shining Star is 100% Boo! I love it!” 

Shining Star is the follow up to Get Me To The Weekend - the single that marked the return of Betty Boo as a solo artist after a thirty year absence. Betty Boo’s return to the studio was inspired by lockdown, when the muse returned and the songs arrived fully formed. A new Betty Boo album is due for release later in the year. 

Betty Boo is a Brit and Ivor Novello Award winning singer/songwriter/producer from west London. After a chance meeting in McDonalds on Shepherd’s Bush Green, she ended up supporting Public Enemy on tour in the US with her Hip Hop trio The She Rockers. In 1989, she featured as guest vocalist on The Beatmasters’ Top 10 single - Hey DJ/I Can't Dance (To That Music You're Playing); her first solo single - Doin’ The Do - was released the following year and announced Betty Boo as a phenomenon in her own right. Doin’ The Do and the follow up Where Are You Baby? were both written and demoed by Betty Boo in her bedroom using basic sampling gear - a process she would return to in recent years after a period of writer’s block. Betty Boo released two albums - Boomania and GRRR! It’s Betty Boo - and then mostly retired from the public eye.
