Katy B’s new single ‘Lights On’ is great. Except for the part where Miss Dynamiteeeee talks like a dick over it.

There’s nothing more annoying than when MC’s from the UK suddenly manifest an American, or in this case, a Jamaican accent when rhyming. Zone 2 born and raised – [Archway for those looking for a cheap flat near the Heath]- Ms D’s accent seems to go from a subtle Jamaican tinge [Her dad's Jamaican] in Wile Out, to a mentalist island twang on Lights On. Both accents are poles apart to the 2002 release of her Alicia Key’s esque first single off debut album ‘It takes more’ where the virtues of safe sex are highlighted by Dynamite while wearing plastic pants [trousers].

Before I get hate comments, yes I get that mcing lends itself to a bit of a ‘rude boy accent manipulation’, how many scouse MC’s do you hear climbing the charts? But with glaringly obvious and good British MC’s out there such as Chipmunk [we'll overlook the Esmee Denters thing] is there really any need?

Produced by Rinse FM founder Geeneus it’s not the first time the two have collaborated as they reworked Kevin Saunderson/Inner City seminal track ‘Good Life’. If you check the opening synth stabs of ‘Lights On’ at the start, sounds very similar to those found on ‘Good Life’ – Just an observation but Inner City want their string stabs back.

Another point on the Good Life rework, it’s a fine line when covering much loved tracks, but if you going to do a cover, do it different. This was a replica, pretty much, of the original track- original melody line, original samples, and then they cluttered up the mix with a tame assed dubstep-like drum track and a plethora of whoops and woooshes. The result sounding like a kid got hold of one of these.

Whatever. Enough. If you can get over Ms Dynamite and the nicking of strings. This track is really great. Katy B is gorgeous, writes amazing underground tinged, pop friendly hooks and lyrics, and if I ever meet her, I’ll tell her you said hi.
