One thing I’ve noticed is the lack of rap-leaning production. The swelling strings at the end are a nice touch. “Culture” might be edging out “What You Need” as my favorite vocal feature on the album so far. “ This is not a life it’s a culture, nigga.” Teedra has so much style. So far, like red bottoms sliding across one of those floor pianos. A lot of these tracks are on the shorter side, especially compared to 99.9%. But “Freefall” is a stoooooone groove, baby.Īfter his amazing remix of Teedra Moses’ “ Be Your Girl,” I’ve been wondering how they’d sound working together on a song. I can’t place my finger on why, but this record is Black as fuck. Durand Bernarr sounds like he’s falling through a sea of satin-lined sheets. Seamless transitions are always a nice touch. Good on KAYTRA for letting this one breathe. No rapper or singer could do this beat justice. If a lava lamp could hold an electric charge, it would look like this song sounds. “Scared To Death” sounds like the colorful visualizers you could summon on iTunes. 12. “Scared To Death”Īnother solo instrumental.

I’m still mad at Goldlink about his Mac Miller “ letter,” but he’s bobbing and weaving through this beat. Eight9Fly and Ari Pensmith work well in this environment. KAYTRANADA’s style is so easy on the ears.

KAYTRANADA’s sound is sturdy but versatile.

He’s slipping in and out of these synths and drums. Leave it to SiR to thread a love story into a carefree environment. “ Baby I ain’t got no time for fake love.” “Go DJ” treats the DJ club atmosphere as a religious experience. SiR! Inglewood’s finest representing early. A four-on-the-floor groove for 20-somethings and their aunties alike. The lyrics are quite simple, but no one goes out onto the dance floor to think too hard. Why haven’t they worked together before? This record is new-age Soul Train line music. Is that Iman Omari on the vocals? Always good to hear him singing, though I’m more familiar with his production work. Keys gliding over programmed drums and dreamy synths. Not explosive, but enchanting nonetheless. “DO IT” is a proper reintroduction to KAYTRA’s sound. Shaking bells, hand drums, and singing voices keep a steady groove. A vocal sample saying “ Do it!” sounds like James Brown.
