British soul rarely sounds this turned up.\u00a0UK chart-topper Katy\u00a0B’s third album is an ambitious collaborative effort featuring some of the biggest and buzziest producers around.<\/p>\n
She’s the Peckham girl who won’t dance to anyone else’s tune: interviewed back on her old manor, Katy B proves the perfect modern British pop star
\nThe Guardian<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\nEffortlessly moving between genres, she makes sure to put an R&B stamp on each song, keeping all the opposing styles and approaches from veering into chaos. On the album-opening title track, she unleashes a neo-soul vocal over Kaytranada’s sparkling beat. The song blends effortlessly into the more anthemic “Who AM I,” a Major Lazer-helmed reggae fusion in which B is accompanied by passionate vocals from Craig David.<\/p>\n
Later, R&B meets grime on the hypnotic earworm “Lose Your Head,” produced by the HeavyTrackerz, and B turns herself into a Nineties house vocalist on her solo version of British DJ-producer KDA’s “Turn the Music Louder (Rumble),” which was released as a single featuring B and Tinie Tempah last year.<\/p>\n
Lyrically, she works some of the same emotional territory as her reflective 2014 single “5 AM,” musing on the somber side of life in the club.<\/p>\n
On “Calm Down” featuring experimentally-minded electronic producers Four Tet and Floating Points, she muses “When are we ever gonna calm down\/Know I should do but I love the sound,” over a rubber band beat.\u00a0Katy B has a way to go in separating herself from the influx of R&B singers who dabble in dub, but she\u2019s beginning to pave a path worth following.<\/p>\n
