Fast rising singer Katy B is set to release new single ‘Lights On’ on December 13th.
What are the odds for a dubstep tune at Christmas number one? This time last year you could have got a million to one, however with Magnetic Man riding high in the charts the idea is suddenly not so outlandish.
Katy B has dominated the charts this year, with solo work and guesting on Magnetic Man’s hit single ‘Perfect Stranger’. Her own debut single ‘Katy On A Mission’ was a massive hit, storming into the charts.
Taking dubstep into the Top Ten, ‘Katy On A Mission’ helped soundtrack the summer. Now the singer is preparing for a bit of festive fun.
Working with Ms Dynamite, Katy B’s ‘Lights On’ is sublime bass heavy pop. As slick as Beyonce, the Peckham girl epitomises the new-found swagger and chart appeal of London club culture.
‘Lights On’ is due to be released on December 13th, and could be a contender for Christmas number one. Going up against Take That, The X Factor (backlash) and the obligatory Cliff Richard effort the track could score a festive hit.
Produced by Rinse FM founder Geenius, ‘Lights On’ nods towards garage, UK funky and more. Running through the track, though, is a shrewd pop edge which could well propel Katy B back into the charts.
No doubt released with a picture of Santa on the front, Father Christmas will be saying ‘brap’ when he comes down your chimney this year. Katy B’s new track is taken from her forthcoming debut album, which boasts production from Benga and more.
Set to be released in 2011, the album will be available through the now legit Rinse FM label. 2010 – the year dubstep broke?
