BRITTICISMS

“Louder” by Katy B

I’m rather disappointed in America for not jumping on the Katy B bandwagon. Sometimes it’s not enough to use the strongest and most interesting producers or to have a distinct, lovely voice. Looking at photographs of the singer, she seems normal. She’s gorgeous, obviously, but so much of mainstream (and even underground) success today is built on one’s image, and the story one can tell using everything but the music. I like that Katy B’s story sounds so much like mine, an average woman: good drinks, good people, and a little bit of young adult mischievousness.
