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

the next one will be full of bewildering collaborations with yuppie minimal grime nerds and assorted PC Music bellends

i filled a medium sized container with twigs and sacks of old leaves and then put up a large trampoline

congrats ur hired

"who am i" was originally katy solo (and better, not so much to really rep for) and the craig david verse feels v patched in at the last minute. the real crime is cutting the other craig david collab which is properly great (hoping it'll pop up on his album)

congrats ur hired

Thanks. I must admit that I was blackmailed by my neighbours and mother in law into doing it though.

love this remix

was listening to her music recently + wondering what she's up to, apparently there's a whole album of hers i missed out on?

"Crying for No Reason" sounds better than it did in 2014.

sounded great then too

I'm on a plane at 36,000 feet so

featured on remix of Moses Boyd's "2 Far Gone" - so nice to hear her voice again! it's been far too long

ah that's fantastic

when I saw this on my Release Radar my heart skipped a beat, and it’s everything I hoped it could be. she sounds fantastic on this.

It's great! I love the original but this makes a whole new song out of it.

new music finally coming next week. i’m still chasing the feeling.

oh yeah

The debut (a decade old!) is still one of my favorites.

wow has it really been five years since her last album

it's called "Under My Skin". i'm so excited!!!

wonderful song, co-written and produced by P2J!

real nice

delightful

beautiful (no surprise)

mmm

so good

8 song project 10/29 come thru

the new single which isn't on youtube so i can't link it is kind of a jazzy R&B number, kinda cool

I think I consciously leaned into my R&B side more on this project. With the clubs being closed, it reflects what I’d be listening to and vibing to at home. My top 10 songs are classic R&B songs, I’m a nostalgia head and I wanted to bring that throwback feel to the music.

This isn’t a project necessarily made for the clubs, I’d say it’s a soundtrack to a pre-drinks soirée with your girls. That may surprise some people. These songs are a taste of what’s to come, I’m dropping Easter eggs all over this project. I want people to find an escape in these songs, I want them to feel hope but also the power within themselves.

fantastic stuff

wait the EP just came out last week & no one at all noticed? it got zero coverage anywhere i had no idea

oh no it got delayed to today, that makes much more sense

it's absolutely gorgeous, lovely chill vibes but i kinda wish she'd been able to come up with another track or two to make it a proper album though

did no one else listen to this at all? still really enjoying it

i'm enjoying it too! i'd still prefer her to be making less low-key songs but it's accomplished

its very good

it's pretty good

I'm less patient when the beats slow

going to check this out today

it's okay, although there's nothing quite as thrilling as on her first album. might be too much to ask her to repeat the more dancey styles of "on a mission", but this more grown-up pop-soul thing isn't particularly exciting for me and i think there's stuff out there that's simil;ar but better.

I still need to listen to her newest one, but in the meantime, On A Mission is still one of my favourites of the last decade, Movement is pretty close to a perfect song to me.

Was I always like this?
Or did I have some kind of fun?
