KAYTRANADA - 99.9%

yoooooo is anyone here listening to this album loving this album what's up y'all

It's great.

YES!

j more musical adjectives less urban slang

what's up

Playing it now, coincidentally. s'good so far.

Get a lot of Moodyman vibes on this one. Great record!

meh

"moodyman vibes" smh the dribbling inanity

^ moody man vibes

hehe

this album is highly milquetoast and i don't get why people are gagging over it

the song w/ syd tha kid is pretty nice but otherwise nothing sticks

i don't really get kaytranada as a producer

From reading this thread I'm still none the wiser as to what this actually sounds like.

moodymann if he was afraid of disrupting the lilypad

(moodymann comparison makes no sense btw)

i liked his janet jackson and teedra moses remixes, even the mobb deep song was o-k, but nothing quite 'lands' IMO. it all sounds a bit like someone whos good at dabbling, or just trying everything hes just heard on youtube out, not much diff from a dozen kids on soundcloud. his hip hop doesnt quite bang, and the house doesnt quite groove (or maybe this is what makes him interesting to people? i dont know). does remind me a bit of various post-neo soul/alt-R&B (or whatever you want to call it) from the last decade though.

No, it's not perfect, but the album has some very good moments. It's something between Los Angeles-era Flying Lotus and the last The Internet album

Yeah I'm not gonna bother.

all i've heard is the Janet remix and the single, but to me it feels like Soulection-does-dance? which is fine, but not what i'm looking for.

and the house doesnt quite groove (or maybe this is what makes him interesting to people? i dont know)

not heard the album yet but 'Leave Me Alone' is surely an exception to this

leave me alone is nice enough. but it all sort of just floats in and out. its not like i need 'attitude' in everything i listen to, but its like someone trying a bit of this, trying a bit of that, then jumping to the next thing. its like he thought 'hmm let me do a bit of soulful house' and that was what he came up with. maybe i need to hear it in a club rather than at work on earphones.

Man, his "Cranes in the Sky" remix is such a lazy reworking.

New album out next week. There's a song with Teedra!

that track is nice

yes!

this album bangs

He should’ve waited until January to release it. With all the eoy and eod lists + xmas season I feel like albums from december 2019 got unfairly overlooked.

I agree this has a good ratio of bangers

Posted this on rolling r&b; was alerted that the producer has his own thread... I think it’s an intriguing & accomplished track:
