Co-sign. She's a warm and engaging live performer, and her band really deliver the goods.

Need to get tickets but she's here Jan 27th. Excited! (Especially because Los Camp! just cancelled their show here a week before)

I want to go too, Alex! But I've never been to a dance/electronic show at Belmont - any idea what time she's likely to actually be on stage?
― sean gramophone, Monday, 16 January 2012 04:29 (twelve years ago) link
Not sure. I saw Hercules & Love Affair there and they were on by 10 or so, I think?
Kingdom/Nguzunguzu/Bok Bok was a bit different.
I'll see if I can find out any info and let you know.

Might have mixed up some of the order. A++ good live. Vocals carry through. Charisma like crazy. Much shorter than anticipated (physically, not the length of the set).

bin meenin to post a review as a i saw her some weeks ago here in denver, but the enthusiasm has admittedly sort of faded and what i thought was going to be a 4 paragraph in-depth look now feels like possible diatribe
anyways:
she played for about 30 minutes. really short show. for such a small venue as ours she seemed absolutely enthused to be singing and i really thought she was a masterwork at having a *stage presence* that was just inescapable and rarely dawdling. she repeated a lot of lines, verbatim, i've seen in youtube videos from other shows which sort of added to this uber-rehearsed atmosphere i ultimately got but whatevur.
likely the most awkward part of the night was during "katy on a mission" in which she'd point the mic at the audience to complete the chorus (oo aa oo aa oo!) and, as far as i could tell, nobody took up the pledge.
and she kept doing it. i couldn't tell if she was more disappointed or curious as to whether we'd finally give in.
― NO NUTRITIONAL CONTENT (kelpolaris), Saturday, 4 February 2012 01:54 (twelve years ago) link
by lines, i mean things said in between songs... song commentary, etc.
when i saw her in london last year she played for well over an hour, the audience sang every line and the place went crazy during perfect stranger, on a mission, lights out etc. tons of fun.
― jabba hands, Saturday, 4 February 2012 14:12 (twelve years ago) link
Not sure how she can do over an hour unless she also does all the deep cuts. We got nothing but the hits, but it was still a solid 45 minutes or so plus chatting in between.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Saturday, 4 February 2012 14:13 (twelve years ago) link
Wish she had let the audience do the Ms. Dynamite verse during Lights On instead of just repeating the chorus a lot, though.
We totally could have.
There wasn't a single person in the club not singing along to every word.
Nothing to do with Katy B, but I figured Katy B fans would be interested or know the answer to my query
Does anyone know what happened to Ny?
She was on a couple of good dancier tracks back in the day and released two mixtapes - the second of which "Split Endz Vol 2" was really very good but I haven't heard anything about her since?
Similar to some of the Katy B/Delilah/etc. type thing but c. 2007.

Most days it's "Movement" or "Power on Me," though.
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.

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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk3I-jhYC9s
it's still good though

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 (eleven years ago) link
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
