Katy B releases a ballad

OK, not really, But, at 112 bpm, this is as downtempo as a Katy B record us ever likely to get.

Sumptuous and powerful, Crying For No Reason it features Katy's best vocal to date - and lyrics to match ("I never faced all the pain I caused, now the pain is hitting me full force").

"This album is more focused on love and relationships and reality," she told Fact magazine earlier this year. "Sometimes you don't realise you have to fight for your happiness."

According to the press release, Crying For No Reason "presents another facet of the rich musical palette on display on the forthcoming album" Red. So there.

But the single isn't out 'til 27th January. What on earth is going on, record label people? We want it now.
