This new project shows an artist truly back on form.
-
DJ Booth
It may be less varied than its predecessor, but BUBBA is a testament to how far KAYTRANADA can stretch his pet sound. BUBBA is the music of a beat-maestro settling into his most reliable pocket. I’ll dance to that.
-
Magnetic Magazine
Kaytranada still finds ways to amaze with his new album 'BUBBA.'
-
Stereofox
Bubba was extremely pleasant to listen to, varying enough not to be boring even for a second. Plenty of instrumental-onlys, hell lot of features, making the album the type of "whatever you feel like listening, we've got it" - from sexy through slow grooves to club music, all with the KAYTRA's signature touch.

This record feels like a disco mix, with tracks flipping seamlessly into each other, and the guests are picked less for celebrity value and more for their compatibility with Kaytranada’s sound.
-
The Student Playlist
More thematically consistent than the sonic grab-bag of ‘99.9%’, Kaytranada’s second album ‘Bubba’ is a more thorough exploration of his influences.
-
Northern Transmissions
It will be one of those records where you and your friends will endlessly debate what your favourite tracks are. BUBBA may have come out late in the year but it’s surprise release is surely one of the 2019’s best.
-
Myriad Muzik
BUBBA is everything a fan can expect, space age R&B fused with Disco, House, Funk, Hip-Hop and Soul. Another stellar release from one of music’s top producers.
-
Exclaim!
While 99% provided the initial space for Kaytranada to make his mark, BUBBA is where it matures.

Kaytranada shines through the big features on Bubba.

Overall, BUBBA is an extremely enjoyable listen for anyone who wants a collection of summer jams to clear up some seasonal depression or to piece apart Kaytranada’s prodigious production skills.
-
Dance Music W
From beginning to end, BUBBA delivers something new and exciting in every track.
-
Dusty Organ
The energy of Bubba is a little different than his debut, but still feels like Kaytranada stayed true to himself on the record.
-
Flipboard
KAYTRANADA’s sophomore album is preoccupied with mid-tempo grooves that settle in the bones and coax wall-huggers to the dance floor.
-
The Scope at Ryerson
With Bubba, Kaytranada does not so much reinvent so much as tweak his already successful style of dreamy, house-inflected instrumentals and artist curation.
-
Repeat Magazine
You can’t come away from listening to BUBBA without a sense of immense euphoria.
-
Peauxetic Expressions
The only bad thing that can be said about the album is the promotion for it should be rolling in like a tidal wave. There are literally no skips here, just solid production and clever lyrics throughout.
-
Mystic Sons
Dynamic producer returns with progressive sophomore album.
-
MT
Mixing moods and musical styles makes calculated an understatement and raises BUBBA to a godlike plateau other DJs and producers will now have to work toward.
-
RNGLDR
KAYTRANADA outshines a collection of some of the most important names in music today as the force that brought them all together and allowed them to shine overtop his effortless bounce. He is that good. BUBBA is that good.
-
Space City Frequency
You’re left in a post-Bubba dream state, still silently grooving to imagined bass lines, as Kaytranada’s otherworldly blue eyes look out at you approvingly from the album cover.
-
BeatRoute
BUBBA would be a fantastic body of work even without the all-star cast of features, but the list is so impressive that it feels like a miss not to mention them.

The 17-track project propels forward Kaytranada’s eclectic style which includes hip-hop and R&B but also house and soul. With driving percussion and dreamy synths, this latest effort by the super-producer will have you dancing to every track.

His new album BUBBA is everything you would want from him and more.
