Sarah Bettens – Cry Me a River

Biography
Belgium (2004 – present)
“I had been wanting to do this for a long time,” Bettens has said of her solo career. “It’s a whole new challenge, and it kind of makes me feel like it’s my first record. Everything has a new level of excitement to it, especially touring.”
In the summer of 2006, Bettens played several of the summer’s biggest European festivals, in front of crowds of more than 20,000 people. Gigging with new musicians, Bettens was thrilled with the reaction from fans. “The shows were amazing,” said Bettens. “The K’s Choice fans were really excited that I’m doing something different, and people who didn’t know me from Ks Choice really responded to the new songs. It was way beyond my expectations.”
The new songs that Bettens has written as a solo artist have also surpassed her expectations. As part of K’s Choice, Bettens wrote songs with a certain sound in mind. Now, on her own, she feels more able to explore herself as an artist, taking risks and blending pop, rock and folk to create a new radio-ready sound that goes beyond anything she had done before.
Bettens takes a chance with her lyrics as well, taking a political stance and tackling issues that are important to young people everywhere. The first single from Scream, “Not Insane”, has been described by Bettens as a mini-protest song, attacking people who cannot tolerate others who are different or who live alternative lifestyles.

I don't understand how a song which isn't on any of her albums is the most played... how do people even know this track exists? Apparently it was on a movie soundtrack, but how is it that more people saw the movie and bought the soundtrack than know about Sarah in other ways? Or was it just well-publicised in the US? The soundtrack isn't even available here. Same with Someone To Say Hi To... I only have that song from the K's Choice album but apparently Sarah sang it by herself on some soundtrack and everyone else has that version. I never realised movie soundtracks were such a powerful way of publicising music. Mind you, I don't listen to the radio so I'm more likely to discover a song from a movie soundtrack than from, say, a single. Still unlikely, though.

She is so cute. I fancied her for her style before she herself knew she was lesbian...if that makes any sense :)
