Betty Boo – Get Me To The Weekend
Around 1990, Hey DJ/I Canโt Dance (To That Music Youโre Playing) by The Beatmasters feat. Betty Boo, and the singerโs solo singles Doinโ The Do and Where Are You Baby? added a little colour and fun to the airwaves. They were all included on her debut album Boomania, which reached the Top 5 in her home country Great-Britain. Its 1992 follow-up Grrr! Itโs Betty Boo failed to match this success (or even come close), and she left the spotlights.
In 2006, she briefly re-emerged as half of the duoย Wigwamย withย Blur’s Alex James. However, after one self-titled single, the act disappeared. In the years after, she made a few guest appearances and composed songs forย Sophie Ellis-Bextorย andย Paloma Faith, among others. But only now Betty Boo (born Alison Clarkson) releases her first solo music since 1992.
Just like her earlier output, Get Me To The Weekend is another perfect pop song, based around a universal sentiment. It might come just in time for a much-needed party season. Catchy as hell, the song is simply irresistible. Not in the least because of the recognizable sample from The Human Leagueโs Love Action. Boo says about the track: โThe muse came back out of nowhere during lockdown and I have made the record I should have made when I was 25.โ
