Katy B - Peace and Offerings EP
- Thread starter Island
- Start date
To be honest I expected that record to sound more lush and expansive, whereas sometimes it sounds amaterouish.
But except of that, her voice just glides over the tracks and the melodies are classical Katy level. I think that Lay Low and Floating are my favourites at this very moment.
I just hope that she’s back for good and we can expect more frequent releases.

She did a cute Q&A for The Guardian and answered my question first (imaginative username I know dd) - definitely need to give the EP a listen!
She mentioned on the live stream, the budget only stretched so far for filming the recent video so most likely that.
Her voice really is the embodiment of the original Sugababes all rolled into one. I adore her tone. She really does glide on these tracks. This is a solid project. Looking forward to more, hopefully in the near future.
Also, Floating is my favorite. It sounds a lot like Alicia's Unthinkable (I'm Ready) which I love.

Finally got into this EP today and I can't say I'm disappointed. Her tone is absolutely exquisite and she glides on every track. There's no hit, but it's a good collection of tracks after a few years away. Here's hoping she can release more consistently cause I miss the bops.
She's always had the perfect voice for this kind of material so it's nice to get a whole project of it, especially as her songwriting remains sharp. I don't mind her pivoting to this lane.

Lay Low is the one, I wanted to like the other pre-release tracks more than I do but they just aren't clicking with me.
I'm enjoying this EP quite a bit, and while it doesn't have the high highs of her previous albums, it more than makes up for it with slick melodies and hooks.
This is probably gonna be an unpopular opinion, but Aftermath is the one I go back to the most. It's so lush and dreamy. Reminds me of Sapphire Blue.

Pitchfork reviewed this on the 21st, and with the lack of new releases over the holidays, it's been on the main page since then. I'm not sure how much difference it makes, but this was such a low-key release, the added exposure certainly can't hurt.
Under My Skin has crept up on me. I love everything about it, from the music to the lyrics to her voice. Just sublime! Such a nice unexpected treat to have new music from her.
