Katy B announces new EP and links with Jaz Karis on second single "Open Wound"

01 October 2021, 12:27 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Katy B has announced her forthcoming EP Peace and Offerings, and has teamed up with Jaz Karis on the project's second single "Open Wound".

"Open Wound" is Katy B's second outing since making her comeback in August with "Under My Skin", and sees her collaborate with Jaz Karis on the Geeneus-produced song.

The new single is also accompanied by news of Katy B's Peace and Offerings EP, which will be her first collection of tracks since 2016's Honey album.

Discussing the new EP, Katy B says, "I think I consciously leaned into my RnB side more on this project. With the clubs being closed, it reflects what I’d be listening to and vibing to at home. My top ten songs are classic RnB songs, I’m a nostalgia head and I wanted to bring that throwback feel to the music."

Of the title, Katy B explains, "The 'Peace' is me taking myself away and having peace of mind and the 'Offerings' are the songs, the parts of myself I’m giving away. In a way I’m reintroducing myself again: I am the offering."

She adds, "This isn’t a project necessarily made for the clubs, I’d say it’s a soundtrack to a pre-drinks soiree with your girls. That may surprise some people. These songs are a taste of what’s to come, I’m dropping Easter eggs all over this project. I want people to find an escape in these songs, I want them to feel hope but also the power within themselves."

Tracklist:

  1. Under My Skin
  2. Open Wound (feat. Jaz Karis)
  3. Dancing Round the Truth
  4. Lay Low
  5. Aftermath
  6. Floating
  7. In Your Room
  8. Daydreaming on a Tuesday
"Open Wound" featuring Jaz Karis is out now. Katy B's Peace and Offerings EP will be released 29 October. She'll play London's Village Underground on 15 November. Tickets are on sale now.
