Katy B - On A Mission (4 April 2011) - hype, anticipation &c

Lots of prosaic reasons why one record might get to #1 and another might not. Katy's had four Top 20 singles. She's doing OK.

still sounds a bit better outside of the album but i'm definitely ready for her to turn towards some of the less maudlin tracks

tom shorterz remix of crying for no reason is the one

shorterz has gone back and done a superlative shuffle mix of 'lights on' as well now, kicks off the 26/03 0231 show

he is a splendid chap

i think i love her.

I like her a little bit.

more than i should

she's mentioned the title track that never made the main album a few times, it's ended up as a free download for carnival. it's pretty nice! katy takes to reggae surprisingly well.

Please, please, please, can someone (well, presumably someone who knows my regular email address) email me the new track? SoundCloud does not work on my antiquated laptop. :(

i'll email you when i'm near my hard drive

Cheers!

i'm sayin

(doesn't know if and when it'll come out)

this album holds up a lot better than i thought it would

Relistening to albums for year end reviews, I remembered how early this album was released.

this album holds up a lot better than i thought it would

Damn, Katy. Was dancing to this waiting for my train on my way home from work.

I like this a little bit.

Exactly three years ago I was blasting the shit out of "Aaliyah."

"got paid" is still a tremendo banger

it truly is

just re-screened the video & yeah

new song is lovely and understated, and i'll admit i've become quite fond of "rumble"

the strings are sick!

"Rumble" is incredible, would be even more so if it was just a solo track

Lorenzo!

oh thank god they put "come a little closer" back on, it's so great!

WAIT XP DID THEY TAKE IT BACK OFF AGAIN

Gonna need a bigger shop window.

should be p good. tight producer leash didnt make much sense anymore, and rinse has become something that needs a figurehead

intro/outro, big pop festival tropidnb next 4, cool summer jams middle, super goth last third

lorenzo's aptitude for hazy summer vibes lately is perhaps a bit underappreciated - the c&a mix of zinc 'show me', 'i wanna be'...

i'm assuming

should i know 'come a little closer' from somewhere

Yeah it does look like they've rearranged it to put all the R1 boshers at the front, credit to them for not just whacking Rumble right up as track two or whatever.

this is what we all wanted!!! :D :D

Idly wondering if she's gone for a full-scale RnG banger here, although the grime producers here are at the clumpier end of the spectrum. No Royal-T in the midst of all this really is unforgivable.

aaaahh i can't wait for everyone else to hear these songs

ikwym but as soon as i started putting together an alt producer list of my own i saw the sense of it, tracks become too distinct in a way that isnt held together by familiarity the way it is here

put more simply, "X" is pointedly different to "(produced by)"

i make an exception for tom shorterz who could have done the whole thing and every desired flavour would be fire. mildly scandalous omission imho
