Katy B: Louder

There’s something about how they’ve threaded Katy B’s voice through the production on this—straight through walls of bass and synth that should bury everything else. It sits precise and clean on top, mechanical almost, which makes the whole thing feel colder, more direct. The songs don’t ask for anything from you. The vocals are just there, delivered like she’s stating something and doesn’t care much whether you’re listening or not.
