Armless is the first solo debut from shark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton. The album was recorded throughout 2007. On December 20th, Bethany debuted the song "A Bite Of Me" at the 2007 Surfestival in Chile. Although not scheduled to be there, Hamiliton made a surprising appearance in which she showcased the first live performance of her new single. In the song, Bethany recalls the shark attack that left her without an arm and how it's help her become who she is today. The track, however, has been disregarded for a newly recorded song "Should've Saw It Coming" at the request of her new record label.

[edit] About The Album

Bethany has reported that she's "been in the studio working on some demos", and "has some really good melodies laid out". Samples should appear on her official website soon. Originally, the CD was to drop into stores in early 2008 or late 2007, however her contract with Jive Records fell through, stopping the albums production. She has since been signed to Geffen Records and the album will be released in winter of 2008. Bethany did a cover of the song "Island Style", which has been leaked to the internet.

On November 24th, 2007, Bethany spoke on the state of album, saying "we're putting on the finishing touches"

Bethany stated the album would be called Armless and that it would be released on March 18th, 2008. However, due to the problems with Jive Records, the album is expected to be released in November 2008.

[edit] Music Video

Scheduled to debut in November '07, the video for "A Bite Of Me" was pushed back due to Bethany's wish of having it released after the New Year. All that is known of the video is that it takes place on a beach in Hawaii. It is unknown whether the video will ever be released, due to the choosing of a new single.

Bethany has decided to release "Should've Saw It Coming". The video will premiere on the anniversary of the day she was attacked by the shark.
