Anywhere In the World – the song created by Mark Ronson and Katy B – will be released for sale on May 13th 2012, and fuses the actual sounds of Olympic sports with music in Mark’s unique and innovative style. To produce the track, Mark travelled the globe, meeting five young athletes and recording their individual sounds of sport to provide the beats of the song. They will perform the song live at the Hyde Park event on 26th July.

suspect that some posters itt have heard this song and are just pretending it doesn't exist but it is bad and turgid

well yeah it is appalling but giving a toss would be like a bananarama fan throwing a paddy over 'do they know its xmas'

I've seen the ad a million times but i've never actually heard the full song. That one line is kind of stuck in my head though

Thanks rtc. Not all that nuts about the song, but (1) I think this has the potential to be massive and (2) it's kind of a cheesey performance be she's so great to watch anyhow

a year later, this album is still a monster. I think I like it now more than I did back then.
song that opened up to me this morning = Why You Always Here
song where I just noticed the faint resemblance to Three-Six Mafia = Go Away

put "Broken Record" on my iPod last weekend.
her vocal version of "bax" got quietly released this week with katy, bafflingly, as an uncredited vocalist
it's still good though
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 07:44 (6 months ago) Permalink
LOVE her vocal of Bax.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 08:52 (6 months ago) Permalink
yeah uncredited is p harsh, just not really happening for her though is it
gobsmacked this has only just properly come out, the promo was out and about at least six weeks ago and it's been and gone from the radio now

the first song is a geeneus-produced duet with jessie ware called "aaliyah" that's kind of like a UK funky take on "jolene" or "the boy is mine"

there is some amazingly happy bass parping away on the second song, which sounds like katy and wiley recorded it mid-carnival. first time i've felt warm in WEEKS
― #YOLO ONO (lex pretend), Friday, 7 December 2012 13:15 (5 months ago) Permalink
third song is produced by diplo (well, probably "produced" by "diplo" as per) and features iggy azalea (???) but is still alright if not as good as the first two. iggy seems to think she's featuring on a britney or ke$ha song, katy drifts along benignly, "diplo" "contributes" a pleasing breakdown

Little percussion touches on that are v. cute

this is like the first true appreciation of aaliyah maybe ever, not the glancing one that says what a lovely talented girl such a shame but one that approaches her sheer singular unearthliness, worshipful awed and fearful like towards a kind of god spirit forever seductive forever unattainable

there no stopping himas the beat rolls oni watch from afarand watch you sing along
the mixture of eternal admiration, helpless defeat and verging on heretical resentment here is so next level

when jessie comes in and you expect a "boy is mine" kinda situation but actually she, separately, is in the exact same position as katy

i'm not sure if i knew what to expect from ware tbh! that contrast between her holy beseeching mournful prayer and katy/geenus' determined secular lightness is what makes the song, the way it's obviously written in their own disinct voices and how that variety is then in itself representative of all womanhood
― r|t|c, Friday, 7 December 2012 14:30 (5 months ago) Permalink
i think it might be ware's best ever vocal

that sequencer in "Light as a Feather" will get tiresome quickly

heh it cuts deeper than anxiety of influence i think
if, as it must be accepted, aaliyah is the best girl ever there must be an unspoken dark side to that which this song finally now dares address
