Full steam ahead on the dubstep-goes-pop express! Katy B - whatever images her name conjures up, not a glamour model, nor an aspiring Radio 1 DJ, nor an understudy in a stage production of a Susan Coolidge novel, but actually BRIT School grad-turned-hip-dance-singer Katy Brien - has contributed "vox" to an instrumental crafted by Benga, one third of Magnetic Man, and nabbed it for her debut single.

The result? Fairly sublime. Over buzzing synths, a lovely blancmangey bassline and beats that manage to be chunky and nimble at the same time - like an overweight contortionist, say - Katy coolly relates a tale of getting lost in the music, icing an already scrumptious cake with loads of ear-snagging "ooh-ooh-oooh-ooh-wooh" hooks. "Keep up with me as we lose control," she urges - love, with a tune as good at this, you don't need to ask twice.
