KAYTRANADA
Timeless
60--91点相当
今作も、
ファンキーで心地よい。
今作、昔風味というか、
そういう色をうまく出しながら
派手さをやや削って、コアな感じな仕上がり。
終盤はそうでもない感じもあるが。
なかなか良いと思うのだが、
メディア評価的には、賛否の差があるよう。
A decade on from his breakthrough Boiler Room DJ set, Canadian producer Kaytranada has cemented himself as a dance music powerhouse. His work blends the worlds of underground electronic sounds and mainstream, chart-topping R&B and hip hop, getting him collaboration requests from the likes of Drake and working with Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar. Later this summer, he’ll headline a huge outdoor show London’s All Points East.
‘Timeless’ is his first full length release since 2023’s collaborative album ‘Kaytraminé’, made with rapper Aminé, but it feels like a melting pot of the best ideas from each of his previous releases and acts as a marker of his musical evolution. Instantly this album is met with the charm of his 2016 debut ‘99.9%’ – two step rhythms, groovy keys and body-moving drums guide ‘Spit It Out’ (made with long-timer collaborator Rochelle Jordan) and ‘Call U Up’ (made with Kaytra’s own younger brother Lou Phelps).
His tastefully selected collaborations is what gives this album extra brownie points, maintaining Kaytra’s masterful curatorship seen on ‘Bubba’, his Grammy-winning 2019 album. ‘Timeless’ features the likes of Tinashe (‘More Than A Little Bit’), Childish Gambino (‘Witchy’), PinkPantheress (‘Snap My Finger’), Thundercat (‘Stuntin’). Kaytra is at his best when he uses the strengths of his collaborator’s vocals – whether pairing sharp delivery with a catchy percussive line (‘Do 2 Me’ with Andersoon.Paak and SiR) or using a voice to mark a key change and change the pace of the track (‘Drip Sweat’ with Channel Tres).
