Marking the release this week of 'What Love Is Made Of', the first single to kick off Katy B's soon to be announced hotly-anticipated second album due for release on Rinse/Columbia in Autumn 2013, Katy performed a special acoustic session of the song, an intimate and soaring rendition of one of 2013's biggest endorphin rushes.
Two years ago Katy exploded onto the UK music scene and was the most engaging breakout star seen in years. Her debut album 'On A Mission' produced three Top 10 singles and was nominated for several awards, including the Mercury Prize and two MOBOs. 'On A Mission' and her Magnetic Man collaboration 'Perfect Stranger' were undeniably two of UK electronic music's most satisfying pop moments throughout 2011.
Since 'On A Mission' Katy has been evolving. Evidence of this lies in her more recent 'Danger' EP, featuring collaborations with Geeneus, Jessie Ware, Diplo, and Iggy Azalea amongst others. Ware appears on standout track Aaliyah, a dancefloor psychodrama in which Dolly Parton's temptress Jolene is reborn beneath nightclub lights. This dancefloor charged EP at the end of 2012 is the perfect bridge into new single 'What Love Is Made Of', expanding Katy's sound and adding fuel to the excitement building in anticipation of her forthcoming album.
