The best songs on Katy B's new album show her caught up in the flow of something so overwhelming she can’t see the beginning or the end of it, time expanding and collapsing with her in its center.
And so onto round three: Kathleen Anne Brien has rewound back to her subterranean beginnings, building a mash-up from scratch on Honey. The new album shuffles through the full nocturnal U.K. experience via Brien’s wealth of collaborators and inspirations.
For her third album, however, Katy’s ventured deeper underground than ever before: The collabo list on ‘Honey’ runs to 21 names and features some of the most buzzworthy names in grime, techno, hip hop and drum’n’bass.

I've listened to it three times and at least two of her worst songs ever are on it. And it's not even like bad by her standards. They're just awful in general.

"Lose Your Head" & "Honey Outro"?? Those two make me cringe "Lose Your Head" gives me Gaga "Jewels & Drugs" try-hard white girl teas.

"Honey Outro" is a little amelodic, ngl. But, lyrically it's strong.
"Lose Your Head" for sure tho. Omg, like what happened gurl ahahah. It's definitely a "Jewels & Drugs" sized mess. And then "Who Am I" but it's a Major Lazer production so I feel like it was inevitably going to be awful.
I actually quite like this album. Sounds great in the car
All of my car-listening time has gone to Lemonade the past two days so I've only listened to a couple of Honey tracks in the car. That will be the true test of quality IMO
Looks like this will stay at 66 Pitchfork gave it a 7.0, which isn't awful
The consensus seems to be that there are too many collaborators, leading to a disjointed album. She needs to go back to Geeneus exclusively, in my opinion
