The Canadian producer and DJ’s second album pays tribute to her father’s memory, fusing home-video recordings with ambrosial disco, soul, and dance-pop.

Jayda G’s Guy is an admirable and occasionally affecting project that balances both personal vulnerabilities with uplifting and life-affirming music.
