With the recent success of his captivating 2nd studio album “BETTER THAN BEFORE” which was recently released under an exclusive sub-license to JVC Victor Entertainment Inc. and Sony Music Publishing in Japan, singer songwriter Kay B is now ready to release ‘Better Than Before’ to the rest of the world. The first single 'Take Me Away’ taken off the album edition peaked at No.5 on the Billboard Hot Top Airplay and No.10 on Billboard Japan Hot Top 100 across all genres. After taking a year’s hiatus from recording, to successfully promote his debut album ‘Look No Further’ in Japan, KNK Entertainment / Sony Music Publishing(Japan) recording artist Kay B went back in the studio to work on his second album, duly titled ‘Better Than Before’. Following up on the success from commercial crossover tracks off his Look No Further album such as ‘Cheater’s Dilemma’ and his brilliant first Japan released single ‘Groove Thang’, which held the no.1 spot on the international artists ringtone chart in Japan, and went on further to be listed on various compilations albums including two massive Sony BMG compilation albums for 2009, (“WITH YOU” and “PERFECT R&B 2”) which both featured artists like Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Jennifer Hudson, Akon, Usher, Beyonce, Leona Lewis, Lil Wayne and R.kelly but to name a few; this second record, “Better Than Before” embraces the sounds of modern day commercial R&B as well as the soulful R&B ballads on ‘Look No Further’, such as the sensual album title track “Look No Further”, “Impress You”, “Don’t You Walk Away” and the infectious radio & Youtube soul jam classic, “Call Cupid” which was Kay B’s first ever released single to be played on MTV and held the No.1 spot on UK MTV Base charts for 3 consecutive weeks. With his first album “Look No Further” debuting as the No.1 selling album, in it’s first week of release (Tower Records, Japan), Kay B states that, “topping the success of ‘Look No Further’ is an exciting challenge I’m looking forward to with this new album. On this new album I aim to reach out to an even wider audience and broaden my fan base by showing a versatile side of me whilst incorporating the previous styles that my fans identify me by.” The success of ‘Look No Further’ coupled with a high demand for Kay B’s music and ringtones in Japan, led to him being approached by Sony Music Publishing(Japan) for his first ever publishing deal. It will not be long until Kay B returns to the stage as he has done previously, performing to sold out venues overseas and performing alongside international artists such as NE-Yo, Chris Brown and a host of other UK acts.
