Katy B, “Story of My Life”

My slow-burning crush on Katy B keeps escalating. She is just so appealing: her laid-back vibes, her hoop earrings and long-ass nails, her vocal texture; she’s an agile and powerful singer without ever struggle-belting, and I just want this to be the year she is all over the radio. (Ariana too!) I don’t have a strong attachment to the original, but I bet this would pass muster: any One Direction superfans in the house?
