KAYTRANADA Drops Two New Era Singles “Lover/Friend” + “Stuntin”

“Stuntin” is a sauntering, runway vibe that should be spinning at Public Record, Cafe Erzulie or wherever aesthetically pleasing bar you sip your espresso martinis at

KAYTRANADA has been blessing us with undeniable vibes all year from the sun soaked collaborative project KAYTRAMINÉ with Aminé, producing AMAKA’s transformative, afro-futuristic debut EP OASIS and offering up some hard hitting house beats for some of my favorite women in music whose careers are thriving shoutout Mariah The Scientist, Victoria Monet, and Maeta. Before the year ends the Montreal musical genius is leaving us with some new music to hold us over as we wait for his highly anticipated third album.

While the details of KAYTRANADA’s third album are still under wraps (other than it being finito), the two latest singles “Lover/Friend” and “Stuntin” give us a little taste of what’s to come.  “Lover/Friend” features Rochelle Jordan a soulful songstress whose voice compliments KAYTRANADA’s signature sound incorporating early 2000s R&B, funk and house music. Over a slinky, downtempo beat, Rochelle leaves us with a chorus that’ll be stuck in your head after a couple plays, “Hеard you wanna be my lover / Wanna be morе than friends / Heard you wanna be my lover / And you can't pretend.” “Lover/Friend” doesn’t stray far from the low key, genre bending nostalgia of KAYTRANADA’s second studio album BUBBA that dropped in 2019. 

“Stuntin” is a sauntering, runway vibe that should be spinning at Public Record, Cafe Erzulie or wherever aesthetically pleasing bar you sip your espresso martinis at. Channel Tres voice is always intoxicating and this record is no different. He adds the perfect touch to the bouncy cut. Both “Stuntin” and “Lover/Friend” have me missing the summer nights and sexy moments that these songs like exude. Let’s pray KAYTRANADA is cooking up another album of the summer.

Rebecca Black's New Single "Crumbs" Is A Glorious Redemption

Rebecca Black is currently eating all your faves up and you probably have no idea. “Crumbs” is the latest single from Black’s forthcoming debut album Let Her Burn and it’s a liberating affair that belongs on the sweatiest of dance floors and the top of every pop playlist with taste. Hearing “Crumbs” feels like musical escapism as the brilliant production glitches, throbs and matches the sexy energy burgeoning from Ms. Black. This song would fit nicely between a Britney Blackout cut and a Janet Damita Jo dance number, Rebeccca’s pop influences alongside her chaotic blend of electronic, dance, hyperpop sounds like heaven. 

“Crumbs” is the first of three singles leading up to the album and offers up a dark contrast to the dreamy “Look At You” and most recent indie vibe “Sick To My Stomach”. Rebecca’s production choices are versatile and showcase her refreshing songwriting. Black has utilized her viral fame to support her growing artistry and it’ll be dope to see if the mainstream can accept an artist that’s working hard to carve out a lane for herself and deliver a meaningful body of work. Fans of Charli XCX, Muna, Poppy and Slayyyter should add “Crumbs” to their rotation (if they haven’t already joined the Rebecca Black wave).
