Mark Ronson & Katy B // Move To The Beat [Music Video]

When I found out that Mark Ronson and Katy B were teaming up for an Olympic song I was pretty ecstatic. They’re two of my favourite artists, so it was great to know they’d be cooking up a song together.

Now that I’ve heard “Move To The Beat” today, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed. The production is great, with Mark incorporating the sounds of a number of athletes into the song as percussion, but I just feel like it doesn’t really go anywhere. I’ve listened to the song a few times, and I just couldn’t tell you what it sounds like. Katy’s a great vocalist, but I just don’t think that the song’s melody is that memorable.

There’s a little bit too much going on in the song as well, with too many layers coming across a bit confusing. I do like the song - but that’s it, I just like it. Hopefully the brilliantly clever (bar all the Coca-Cola plugs) music video will help it grow for me, but for now it’s fair to say that all the songs on “Katy On A Mission” are better than this.
