Katy B is set to release Little Red early next year and has shared one of the tracks of the record, "Crying For No Reason."
Back in March she had an interview with Pitchfork and the story had a very well-put prefeace:
"If there's a single dominant archetype in media and art right now, it's the flailing, recession-era millennial. We live in a culture infatuated, to an absurd degree, with jobless college graduates postponing their adulthood by living at home with their parents or struggling to make ends meet on a barista's salary. But what happens when the wayward 20-somethings manage to actually settle into grown-up lives, complete with satisfying careers, apartment leases, and health insurance? It's a question that Katy B, the 23-year-old UK vocalist born Kathleen Anne Brien, is trying to answer for herself on her forthcoming second album, due out in late spring."
Katy B talks about how she sees herself as a representative for women in the music scene.
"If there was a girl who wanted to be involved with this music and was intimidated by it, I hope she would see me and realize she could do it. I'd love for that to be true. But then, in a sense, when you're surrounded by people, the gender lines become less important-- you think of yourself as a person rather than just a female. I'm excited about representing my gender, but at the same time it doesn't matter. I wouldn't say my gender has been a disadvantage."
Listen below to her new track, "Crying for no Reason."
