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

wiley also says "friday is hair"

the closest he's come to alright is the track on the first night slugs comp whose title i have forgotten

baby i don't know what you want! i love that one. i agree tho, another girl is p overrated

anyway liking this ep, gonna go listen againnn

loool at the typo for iggy azalea's name

eyes practically popped out of my head when i scrolled through pitchfork this morning and saw that there was a katy b x jessie ware track called "aaliyah"

downloading this now

oh boyyyyy this song really did not disappoint

YOU CAN'T GET PAST ME AALIYAH

eyes practically popped out of my head when i scrolled through pitchfork this morning

this is no way to discover new katy b music (or anything)

i don't really see any reason to hate on pitchfork as a news source

plus i got to read jordan s' accompanying writeup, so w/e

give it a rest lex

"Got Paid" and esp. esp. esp. "Aaliyah" are so great.

Pretty sure I like "Aaliyah" more than anything from the album already! The housey synth patterns are such a good look.

And just, I dunno, its longform hypnotism, its determined refusal to climax.

Fuck it, top 5 of the year for me on my third replay.

i hereby cosign that motion

*unzips download* OMG THERE'S A SONG CALLED AALIYAH PLAY PLAY PLAY

also is "Got Paid" an update on:

I don't think it's as stirring as Johnny Kemp's though :(

wat. "Got Paid" is fantastic.

can't really compare tbh, I've known the Kemp song since I was a toddler and generally find it pretty difficult to judge songs I've known since before I knew how to judge period.

Pretty sure I like "Aaliyah" more than anything from the album already!

^^probably agree with this though

It's the perfect cap in a year in which I've been seeing Aaliyah everywhere:

That's about how much I like the song not a complaint re On A Mission which is great.

well definitely not short for william fml

my name's william and I'm gonna make a million

still listening to "aaliyah" on repeat

with every move you make, you know you've got him transfixed
but you can't get past me, aaliyah, i won't fall for your tricks
there's no stopping him as the beat rolls on
i watch from afar, and watch you sing along

whats the line ware sings starting with "i don't believe...", been trying to work it out

i can't hear this and it's annoying me so much! also the line that starts "woman to woman"

BLOODY ENUNCIATE, WARE (even though your murmuring style is perfect on this track)

well definitely not short for william fml

my name's william and I'm gonna make a million

yeah but his name is richard kylea cowie

It's "woman to woman a promise" anyway

william is just a play on the name, he does it all the time u literal dumbasses jeez

that's what i figured but you never know...

alternatively it's a little known fact that the original grime progenitors were initlaly brought together by a keen shared interest in us maritime history, and r cowie is actually named after william wiley. (similarly dizzee rascal's very occasional sobriquet captain roscoe [with a crossbow] was inspired by the famed mine-clearer roscoe bulmer.) contrary to popular opinion however crazy titch was always more of a hornby model railways man.

sup lord custos

damn man look at u hiding in a bush waiting to spring something on me

i mean ok it was pretty bad but still

cmon dawg I would have been forced to call out anyone who posted that one.

idk i guess i was brought up to break the custos glass only in case of emergency

nothing new to add but damn this is great

i would go:
aaliyah > danger > got paid >>>> light as a feather

damn, got paid really growing on me

woof if they could ditch the WUB WUB WUB and iggy "light as a feather" would be great

I love that we're supposed to pretend Katy B is working some sort of job where she gets a weekly paycheck.

hasn't that always been the case?

like regular girl next door is totally her persona

i'm sure katy b at some point worked a job where she got a weekly paycheck

also there was that time this girl called aaliyah tried to steal her man.

nicki minaj is so broke she can't pay her rent this month

Where Katy is all "I was at the bar with my friend Olivia tryin my best to catch up" Nicki is "Doin shots with my bitch Olivia. My bitch Olivia. She's really a bitch and she's named OH-LIV-EE-A."

lol

standing at the bar with my son olivia surely

not a metaphor punchline

katy b's in the trap

famed mine-clearer? who are these ppl

how many mines do u have to clear to get even half as famous as crazy titch

depends on how much aggravated sexual assault is involved in mine-clearing iirc

oh wait never mind that was the other guy

sorry to make u look bad titch
