Katy B and Tinie Tempah blog
The great thing about putting different artists together, is that you might just get something different from them than the usual. KDA definitely got something slightly different from Katy B on “Turn The Music Louder (Rumble)”, a track with Tinie Tempah.
Katy B is known to bring some R&B inspired vocals to dance music, but in this track she lays the vocals down like a straight forward pop-dance song. It works, but, for me, I have to get used to this sound. It’s a good thing, there’s a, I think, improvised type of bridge, where she works it!
Musically, the beat of the song reminds me of the days when old ‘skool’ hip hop was meeting the early house music. It reminds me of the DNA remix of Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” and, perhaps, even a little Massive Attack’s “Unfinished Symphony”.
