It's the new Katy B video.

  • October 28, 2010
  • Popjustice

We have been rather enjoying Katy B's involve­ment with the Top 40 over the last few months and her new single, 'Lights On', is a bit of a cracker.

It's out on December 13 so stands a chance of being this year's Christmas Number One, or it would do if Wagner from The X Factor aka the obvious winner of the whole thing didn't already have it in the bag with his medley of Boney M's 'Mary's Boy Child', Boney M's 'Rivers Of Babylon' and Boney M's 'Boney M Megamix'. 

But we digress. There has been a video made for the Katy B single and for reasons unknown we have been given the exclusive. 

This is the video. There are two notable things about it.

1. It's got Ms Dynamite in it, although that is not sur­pris­ing because Ms Dynamite is on the song, and it would in fact have been more note­worthy if Ms Dynamite had not appeared in the video so in the grand scheme of things this 'celebrity cameo' is a bit of a let down, although it has not actually been billed as such so really there is nothing to see here, please move along.

2. Katy seems to have taken a leaf out of Same Difference's book and gone down to amazing south London hellhole Fire to shoot the video. 

There is another video which was done at Notting Hill Carnival and seems a little more carefree than the expensive one.
