Katy Steele – Human

Originally published on Alt Media

Katy Steele has created a very complex and compelling first foray into the solo realm, Human’s ability to stand the test of time however remains to be seen.

Centring the record around her incredibly unique and captivating voice was certainly a wise decision, and paring that with a trendy synth-pop undertow has made this record one which is very much glued to this specific period in music trends.

Whilst every single element is impeccably crafted, it all feels much too similar to everything else on the radio today rather than the unique tour de force we all expected. Steele’s voice as always is a standout and makes the record worth a listen alone, particularly on singles 'No Slaves', 'Where’s The Laughter' and 'It Ain’t Me'.
