March 1, 20214 yr It was second fave of the round for me, definitely chose the right song once again! :wub:
March 2, 20214 yr Author Round 3: Aaliyah This dancefloor psychodrama is titled after the late R&B singer who was killed in an aeroplane crash in the Bahamas in 2001. It is a Dolly Parton referencing study of a jealous Jolene-type rival re-imagined in a night club. Katy explained to The Sun: "I had this idea of a song set in a club and a song by Aaliyah was on my iPod so I thought, 'Perfect.'" This features Katy B's fellow South Londoner Jessie Ware. Katy told The Sun: "I texted Jessie not knowing if she would be up for it or not I'm so glad she agreed. I'm a real fan. She's a no-nonsense type of girl and I think it worked out so well." "I wanted it to be about a girls name – like 'Jolene' by Dolly Parton but a modern version," Katy added. "To find the right name I looked on my iTunes and of course Aaliyah came up first, so her name became the temporary title, but as the song progressed I was just picturing her in my head and she actually became the character of the song. I wanted the song to have an effortless sex appeal, like her." Note: There are two versions of this beauty. The 7-minute epic from the Danger EP which is only available on YouTube below and the Little Red 3-minute edit available on Spotify (also below). :music: :wub: MKydeJs3Kmo
March 4, 20214 yr Author ROUND 3 RESULTS: 02 27 Katy B feat. Jessie Ware - Aaliyah The highest Katy has placed so far yay! :w00t: And a nice redemption after the 8th place for 5 AM! What are everyone's suggestions for the next free choice round!?
March 4, 20214 yr Crying For No Reason is my choice, but I think Lights On deserves to be sent soon too?
March 4, 20214 yr If 'Crying For No Reason' is a choice then ABSOLUTELY that. But I assume it's being saved?
March 4, 20214 yr I think Crying should be saved for the final round! Other choices I'd say Lights On too!! Maybe Turn The Music Louder or Perfect Stranger as well
March 4, 20214 yr Author If 'Crying For No Reason' is a choice then ABSOLUTELY that. But I assume it's being saved? It's definitely being saved! I was thinking I Wanna Be or Broken Record :wub: I remember Lights On being quite marmite with people on here, not sure if that's changed though~
March 4, 20214 yr I’d LOVE to see I Wanna Be get a chance to shine but I have no idea what will do the best!
March 4, 20214 yr Lights On or Turn The Music Louder pls! I feel Broken Record would really get lost amongst the stronger singles in this round. To me it feels like a song Katy fans like rather than the general crowd.
March 5, 20214 yr Author Round 4: Broken Record This trancey, jungle tinged number is about "being in a relationship and being scared of losing someone, which is slightly more 'lovely-dovey' than my other songs which are all just about being in a club!", Katy B told AOL Music. She explained her song writing process to CMU: "Because I work closely with producers who make instrumental music too, I usually get given a template of a track and whatever emotion the beat draws out of me I write about." oES929aenGc
March 7, 20214 yr Author ROUND 4 RESULTS: 06 22 Katy B - Broken Record Decent result! 'I Like You' is the frontrunner for the next round at the moment. Also had 'Why You Always Here' in mind but I seem to be the only fan of that :kink: 'Got Paid' would be a nice leftfield choice too I think
