That little x appears 22 times on the tracklist for Katy B’s third album, Honey. Each instance signifies another hook-up between the London-born singer and another artist.
“I just love collaborating,” she says. “I play instruments but my passion lies with my voice, so I lean on other people to do beats and instrumentals.
“I’m a bit of a frustrated rapper in that sense. The music speaks to me and gives me ideas. I turn it up loud and start dancing or humming melodies.”
It’s a technique that’s paid dividends in the past. The star’s biggest-selling single, Crying For No Reason, was co-written by Robbie Williams’s partner-in-crime Guy Chambers, while her previous records have featured appearances from Iggy Azalea, Wiley, Jessie Ware, and Ms. Dynamite.
She has just the best contact book in the business.
“Haha! Yeah, I guess so,” laughs the 26-year-old, sipping a green tea as her voice recovers from a day of tour rehearsals.
In reality, it is her association with Rinse FM – London’s agenda-setting urban music station – that brought Peckham’s Kathleen Anne Brien into the orbit of music’s biggest stars.
Rinse gave the singer her first break when she was just 16 and the station was still a pirate outfit. Recording under the name Baby Katy, the teenager sent in a single called Heartache. She later described it as a “cheesy garage-type thing” – but it made station founder Geeneus sit up and pay attention.
“As soon as I heard her I knew there was something about her voice,” he said. “I was writing a lot of grimy music, and the scene was all getting a bit overcrowded with men. We needed the girl element back in it.”
Together, they recorded Katy B’s first album, On A Mission, a love letter to dance music that nimbly straddled UK bass music and mainstream pop.
It was released just as the singer completed a degree in popular music at Goldsmiths, reaching number two in the charts and eventually being certified gold.
Nearly 10 years later, Katy still calls Rinse FM her second home. “Sometimes I’ll just eat my lunch in there with the engineer who’s working on the jingles,” she says.
Being so close to London’s underground scene, what did she make of the diversity argument at this year’s Brit Awards?
“It would be nice for there to be a wider spectrum of representation,” she says. “Grime is a genre that is fully British. It’s ours. It’s coming from our own people.
“That’s what young people are listening to and that’s what young people want to see.
“But then I’ve never been nominated for a Brit Award, either…”
