Katy B. A popstar who has been
flying under the radar a bit of recent times, with her last two singles peaking
at 21 and 14 on the UK charts respectively. Positions, not to be sniffed at,
but not exactly giving the deserved recognition to the quality of the songs.
Enter 'Crying For No Reason' -
the single that will lead Katy's sophomore album, and hopefully set the charts
alight too. It's a ballad. Yes, you heard me right; Katy B is releasing a
ballad. And a very well accomplished one too.
It has
everything that a ballad should have: impressive vocals, relatable lyrics and
emotion by the bucket load. With Katy admitting that she doesn’t know why she’s
breaking down, but that she’s tried her best to hold herself together. We’ve
all been there.
The piano-led intro soon evolves
into a synth-filled stadium-sized anthem, with the greatest part of the song
coming in the last minute and a half, as Katy begs for forgiveness from her
love, in a dramatic middle 8 that builds into an epic final chorus, and
thrilling climax.
It’s 4 minutes of complete pop
genius. A career-defining song that completely sets Katy apart from her peers.
I just hope that it gets the recognition it so truly deserves.
