Double vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold jacket. When KAYTRANADA left the 2021 Grammys with two awards (Best Dance/Electronic Album for 2019's BUBBA and Best Dance Recording for ""10%""), he made history as the first Black and first openly gay artist to win the former category. The industry recognition was long overdue for the producer, who had been building a devout following for nearly a decade. ""In my mind I was finally a true artist,"" he tells Apple Music's Zane Lowe. After relocating to Los Angeles, he channeled that confidence into making his third solo album, TIMELESS: ""It felt more serious-more legit. I was still having fun making TIMELESS, but making BUBBA was another type of fun where I didn't really take it seriously."" Like it's predecessor, TIMELESS is a collection of club grooves for catching a vibe. It's packed with guests who effortlessly acclimate to KAYTRANADA's singular sound while imprinting their own touch. Ravyn Lenae offers breathy seductions on the hard-edged R&B of ""Video,"" and Thundercat delivers comical disses in soothing falsetto on the jazzy hip-hop of ""Wasted Words."" Back-to-back tracks ""Do 2 Me"" (featuring Anderson.Paak and SiR) and ""Witchy"" (featuring Childish Gambino) hit an energy peak, their tales of late-night infatuation framed by sultry, body-enveloping production.
