Beth Macari NORTH-EAST soul singer Beth Macari’s first single of the year has entered the UK Soul Chart Top 30. The Newcastle-based artist is currently placed at number 15 on the chart as Gotta Get Back continues to rack up plays on streaming services and earn acclaim from music critics. The songwriter’s latest track takes a deep dive into 90’s soul and R&B and tells a story about ‘losing yourself’ in a bad relationship. Ms Macari said: “My song writing is usually very honest and based on what I have experienced, but I wanted to try and write a song with a fictional story behind it.
