Honey is the third studio album by English singer and songwriter Katy B. It was released on 22 April 2016 by Rinse and Virgin EMI. Is preceded by the singles "Turn the Music Louder (Rumble)" and "Who Am I".
Katy B released her second studio album, Little Red, on 7 February 2014. The album was supported with the release of lead single, "5 AM", which became Katy's fourth top 20 single on the UK Singles Chart. Katy also scored her third top 5 hit, "Crying for No Reason", which is certified silver for overall sales 200,000 copies. During this time, Katy also embarked on the "Little Red Tour", which started on 25 March 2014 and included 14 dates across UK cities.
During an appearance on the Jingle Bell Ball, Katy confirmed the album's title to be Honey, stating later: "I'm a big fan of honey in general, I have jars and jars of it in my house. I'm fascinated by how beautiful it is, it's a real gift. The whole summer I was writing this album I was using all these amazing experiences. Then I knew I had to knuckle down, so I locked myself away in my hive and didn't go out, and the honey is my music."
Katy unveiled first song from the album, a collaboration with Four Tet and Floating Points, "Calm Down", on 11 December 2015. On 5 February 2016 a collaboration with Craig David and Major Lazer, "Who Am I" was released officially as the first official single from the album. Katy and David performed track for the first time on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, along with another promo track, "Honey".
As part of the iTunes pre-order, Katy allowed a download of two tracks, "I Wanna Be" and "Lose Your Head", for those who pre-ordered the album.
Katy and Tinie Tempah featured on a song recorded by British DJ KDA, "Turn the Music Louder (Rumble)". The song was released as a digital download on 16 October 2015 by Ministry of Sound. On 23 October 2015, the song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Katy B's first number one single. It is certified Gold in United Kingdom for overall 400,000 copies sold.
