Betty Moon and the World of Cosmicoma
Interview by Ken Morton Southern California based producer and songwriter Betty Moon has released her latest album Cosmicoma and it’s a thoroughly intriguing work of sonic artistry well worth seeking out. Cosmicoma is BettyMoon’s 10th studio endeavor and is the follow-up to her much buzzed and highly praised 2020 release ‘Little Miss Hollywood’. Once signed to A&M Records for her very first release, Betty Moon would declare a state of musical independence, founding Evolver Music in the process. Highwire Daze recently caught up with Betty Moon to discuss the sonic world of Cosmicoma, life within the dreamscapes of Hollywood, her days at A&M Records, and more! Is there any overall story or concept behind the album title Cosmicoma? 48
I think as a world we’re in a bit of a “Cosmicoma”, that area between reality and fiction where we are not certain where things are going. There’s a lot of weird things happening in the world, but also at the same time we are inspired to make positive changes and be creative in new and exciting ways. I don’t like to dive too deep into meanings behind songs or albums though, as I like to let the listener take the song and lyrics, making it their own. Who is the guest vocalist on Are You Ready For Me and how did that come about? And give me a little background on that song. Rapper/singer Relevant. We connected to work on a song for Cosmicoma and “Are You Ready For Me” worked out perfectly. We actually collaborated virtually and after figuring out the right song, he tracked his vocals with one of my engineers at my home studio. I wanted to get that male voice to hype up the track a bit and raise the energy/vibe. October/November 2021
