Peace and Offerings

Released in 2021 after a five-year hiatus, Peace and Offerings represents a significant pivot for Katy B. Known primarily for her pioneering role in bringing UK bass culture and garage to the pop charts, this EP sees her stripping away the high-tempo rave influences in favor of a sophisticated, '90s-indebted R&B sound. The project was largely a collaboration with producer P2J, who helps craft a sonic palette defined by liquid bass, jazzy instrumentation, and an emphasis on vocal arrangement. Critically, the EP was praised for its maturity and the seamless way Katy B's 'Rinse FM' sensibilities translated into a slower, more soulful context. It serves as a bridge between her club-ready past and a future rooted in classic songwriting and neo-soul textures. The track 'Under My Skin' serves as the mission statement for the record, grounding the listener in a deep, rhythmic intimacy that persists throughout the eight-track duration.
