In her new single ‘Bitter Betty’ Mandy Ventrice strides confidently into post-breakup territory with razor-sharp wit and polished pop sensibility. I found myself drawn in by the syncopated groove and the sly smile behind her vocals. She takes no prisoners when she spits lines like “You had no backbone / Broke up with me over the phone” the emotional sting meets savvy sass in a way that turned my attention from the first beat. The production sits in that sweet mid-tempo dance-pop lane yet bristles with enough attitude to keep things from sliding into fluff. For me, Mandy delivers a performance that’s as playful as it is potent, proving she knows how to spin personal pain into an earworm you’ll revisit long after the lights go up.
