SHREM'S BIGGIES BUT GOODIES: "CRYING FOR NO REASON" - Katy B


Last year around this time I discovered "Aaliyah" - Katy B's dazzling collaborative single with Jessie Ware which was a herald of all those electrifying singles we were to receive in 2013. The history's repeating now with the release of the official video for Katy B's epic "clubland lullaby" "Crying For No Reason" scheduled to drop 24th January and announcing the arrival of B's 2nd LP "Little Red" out the following week. Let's welcome the first great single of 2014. "Crying For No Reason" is what I like to describe as Pure Pop Perfection.
