Release & Reception[edit | edit source]

Following Bette's emancipation from her troubled father, Alex Washington, Bette set about working on her debut studio album. Calling upon many old acquaintances and work partners of her father, Bette assembled a team of A-list talent to help guide the project, which took influences from several styles, including 90s rave, electro-pop, R&B, and reggae. The album was extremely well-received, debuting at #1 in both the UK and US, selling over 126,000 copies in its first week in the UK.
