April 8, 20169 yr Great to see they're pushing "I Wanna Be" now! Hope it gets a good amount of support and becomes a hit! Hopefully BBC Radio 1 will playlist despite "Who Am I" flopping.
April 16, 20169 yr Album is really good. 'Dreamer' is a stand out and very much in love with 'I Wanna Be' and the outro.
April 19, 20169 yr Snippets now up on iTunes and I am really loving the sound of the album. I definitely don't think it sounds as strong as 'Little Red' but I love the fact she really isn't attempting to recreate that sound. Instead she is kind of going between the house thing and R&B - you could always tell her music has been heavily influenced old-school R&B throughout her work and melodically that is really coming through throughout these songs. They may not all be bangers but they are so packed with melody. Also her voice can make me melt on anything so come through cross-genre queen. Can't wait to hear it in full.
April 20, 20169 yr She's not really matched the quality of On a Mission for me personally but I can't deny her succeeding music has been really good too and has shown her develop as an artist, yet without a sudden u-turn either. I think that's pretty rare for a dance act and I praise her for it. The melodies to ths songs I've heard have been so strong and 'I Wanna Be' is a JAM.
April 21, 20169 yr i'm looking forward to hear solo 'Turn The Music Louder'. Edited April 21, 20169 yr by LushLife
April 21, 20169 yr All about Honey (outro) and the Mssingno collaboration <33333 and obviously calm down, duh
April 21, 20169 yr Album is currently #7 on iTunes, would have been #1 had Prince not sadly passed away yesterday. I'm guessing this will affect her peak position this week which a great shame, I'm expecting it to debut around #12 now.
April 22, 20169 yr I'm guessing due to the unfortunate Prince event will be pushed down to #6 or #7, I was expecting a top 3 or otherwise debut ordinarily.
April 22, 20169 yr Disappointed with the album as a whole. A few great tracks though, particularly love "I Wanna Be" and the "Honey - Outro" is just great. Hopefully the album will grow on me with more listens. Hoping it can go top 10, although not sure if it'll be able to with Prince's death. Otherwise I would've thought it would be able to go top 5/perhaps challenge for #1. On a Mission debuted at #2 with 44,228 and Little Red at #1 with 22,892. Can see this doing 10-12k first week which should secure a top 10 debut.
April 22, 20169 yr solo version of Turn The Music Louder is album only and unavailable on Spotify :no:
April 22, 20169 yr I'm liking this more than I thought I would. Much better than 'Little Red', but it doesn't quite top 'On A Mission'.
April 22, 20169 yr What a DISAPPOINTMENT of an album. Very disappointed considering how much I've loved three tracks so far.
April 22, 20169 yr I mean the album definitely has nothing on 'Little Red' but that's because even some of the bonus tracks on that were 10.0/10.0 worthy. You can tell that it was meant to be an EP side-project and was made into an album; it definitely still holds that feel, but for what it is I think it is another great effort from Katy. First listen rate: 09.0 Honey 06.0 Who Am I 08.5 So Far Away 10.0 Chase Me 09.0 Lose Your Head 09.0 I Wanna Be 07.5 Calm Down 05.0 Heavy 11.0 Turn The Music Louder (so much better) 08.0 Dark Delirium 08.0 Water Rising 08.5 Dreamers 08.0 Honey (Outro) I can see why some may find it a disappointment though. The production is more subdued throughout and it isn't quite as melodic as some of her earlier work. Having said that, there is more than enough of great melodies and interesting production to keep me happy.
April 22, 20169 yr I haven't given this a proper listen through yet but 'Water Rising' :heart: Definitely my favourite of everything I've heard so far.
April 23, 20169 yr I Wanna Be is crazy good - they really should have pushed it as the first single, hopefully it picks up steam over Summer.
