BUBBA

A record that’s packed with goodies and effortlessly cool.

Nothing has quite the same level of buoyancy or high spirits as the debut's "Lite Spots," but this shows that Kaytra is even more accommodating for his singing and rapping collaborators and can make a continuous and cohesive set with enough detail and variation to keep a listener anticipating each move.

Kaytranada's stripped-back follow-up to 99.9% makes a late surge for the year's most addictive club record.

A record which builds on its predecessor's legacy, albeit directed a little more consciously at the dancefloor.

Though some might argue the new album doesn't go far enough to deviate from Kaytranada's tried-and-true formula, BUBBA presents a much more cohesive effort and united front from start to finish.

Kaytranda expands on the sonic palate of his debut and has crafted an album that will please fans and newbies alike.

The new LP is a touch less bombastic than its predecessor, but its freedom and euphoria arrive via beats not all that different from Kay’s past tunes.

It is a mixed bag in every sense – starting from Kaytranada’s very own USP, a genre-defying lo-fi neo soul generated by a sophisticated sound palate, that made him famous.

BUBBA may not be Kaytranada’s final form, but we know what he is capable of – and as a step in his fascinating evolution as one of this decade’s most important R&B producers, it delivers.
