Katy B
She was everywhere briefly in the early 2010s, that particular moment when UK dance music felt like someone actually wanted you to dance and feel something at the same time. Katy B had this brightness over the dubstep and garage tracks—a voice that didn’t disappear into the production but pushed against it, made you listen. The thing about that era is how fast it dated and how little it matters now, except when it suddenly does. The music still lands in a particular way when it comes up, not corny the way you’d expect something that trendy to age, but instead kind of genuine in how it wanted you to move.
