Editorial Reviews
With her combination of natural pop sass and a uniquely powerful voice, Katy B is ready to take the U.S. by storm with her first album On a Mission. At the young age of 22 no one would expect the singer-songwriter to come out with such a powerful debut.
From London comes a girl passionate for dance, songwriting and singing. Combining the rhythms of a currently resurgent UK underground club scene with a song writing ear for the vernacular and songs that celebrate being young, staying up far too late raving and falling for the wrong boys, she s a fresh new pop star.
The press just can't stop raving about her. Rolling Stone selected Katy as one of their "Artists to Watch" profiling the young singer's unique musical sound, while The New York Times states "her soft voice turns a challenge into seduction". Pitchfork agreed by saying that Katy is "...a genre-spanning pop singer who isn t tied down to a single thing".
Katy B made her U.S. live debut in New York City on June 6, 2011. CosmoGirl raved of Katy's recent debut: "Just like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, Katy B's songs are so good you won't be able to get them out of your head. It may not be long before she joins these artists on the top of the charts!"

This marvelous album was a complete surprise to me. Dance/electronic plus intelligence in sonic output as well as lyrically, is a true rarity. Pet Shop Boys come to mind, and not many others...maybe Robyn and Annie of Scandinavia. Join a rare club, Miss B. Thank you, and say hi to Adele, your schoolmate.

This album is a bit generously seen in the eyes of the critic, in particular on amazon.co.uk. It's ok but no more than that, for me. The melodies are nothing in particular and do not really blend very well in the dancey rhythm dominating the cd. Nothing special about singing either. As some one wrote before me, none of the songs really takes off albeit all being quite decent.

Why "crossover" has been left out is beyond me but the album is excellent nevertheless. I first heard Katy's "Perfect Stranger" and was hooked right away. I like the mixture of dance and electronic music elements and Katy's voice is like no other. It's a shame people listen to Bieber and all that nonsense when excellent singers like Katy exist.
Go Katy!
Go Katy!

Bizarrely brilliant
Deep down I should not like this as I'm a tad old BUT after seeing her perform live on the Mercury Prize Live show in 2011 I was hooked - she's amazing live. Read more

Sultry, innocent, and true
No big bombastic vocal pyrotechnics here. Katy B isn't compelled to use every track as a venue for demonstrating overwhelming vocal power. Read more

Love This CD!
I'd never heard of Katy B before, but I'd certainly check out anything from her in the future. She has a superb voice -- strong, but smooth as silk, and sounding much more mature... Read more

Never quite lifts off
It's a bit ironic that the title of Katy B's latest album is "On a Mission," because after you listen to the music, it feels as if she's still stuck on the launch pad. Read more
