- Two luminaries of underground UK music meet in the middle.
- Moses Boyd's 2020 album Dark Matter saw the drummer delving deeper into UK dance music, especially "2 Far Gone." it was basically 2-step, the kind of wavy garage that ruled the pirate radio airwaves in the post-dubstep days. Now he's reworked it with none other than Katy B, the dubstep era's star vocalist. It's her first track in five years, and it doesn't disappoint: she's sultry and brooding over Boyd's clacking rhythm, augmented by his gently technical drumming. Katy B excels in this torch song context, and there's a direct throughline to her earlier work, as if no time had passed at all. Whether it signals a larger comeback or just a one-off, "2 Far Gone" is a welcome meeting of two unique British musical minds, another sign that Boyd is connecting dots in a way few others can.
