20 year old Katy B is suddenly becoming an iconic British musician for the sound of 2010. It feels like she's blown up onto the Radio 1 A-List from nowhere, but in fact she's been a-toiling via a Brit school education for a few years and having teamed up with Rinse FM and their label, has been working with the likes of Zinc and Benga on her new tracks.
'Katy on a Mission' is her first single proper out August 20th, but I'm much more about in love with 'Louder'. I like a popstar who can enunciate, and here her warm yet scratchy tones couple with wobbly dubstep basslines (which I think I'll always find a bit amusing') on this tale of an unwillingness to stop the party.
'I've been awake for a day now, 24 hours, yet still I want it louder'

Love her.
Also I mention DJ Zinc like I have an idea who he is. I don't, but Ed just sent me this other production from him. Total party anthem.
