Although Kaytranada has plenty to boast about, the artist admitted he's a pretty shy guy and struggles to express himself, which is pretty ironic considering his first viral hit was a remix to Janet Jackson's "If."
"I have difficulties trying to find the right words to say most of the time. In the same way, I want to translate that with my music, but I make beats so I'm like, 'How am I going to do that?'" he told Paper magazine in June 2020. However, he was able to dish about his sophomore album in greater detail, unlike when he spoke to The Guardian about his debut in 2016. "I can't say whether or not it's my best work," he told the outlet. "Maybe people will see it in another way."
Sounding more sure of himself this time around, he told Paper, "When I was making my last album, I was really inspired by early house DJs, because now when house DJs actually come up, it's really those white DJs and people don't think about Black DJs in the sense that [they] play House music. While I was making this album, I was like, This is the type of sound I went in to make: dance music, but mainly for Black people and if everybody else likes it, come through."
Sounds like progress to us!
