"Timeless", like much of his output, plays like a mixtape, skirting around styles and flavours with tons of bravado and buckets of style. From the smooth RnB of opener "Spit It Out", through the tongue-in-cheek masculinity of "Call U Up" and onto the rousing, party-starting boom-bap of "Weird", the Haitian-Canadian producer doesn't hold any punches asserting himself in 2024.
Seemingly able to effortlessly merge electronic elements with live sounding funk jams, the producer's beats crunch, thud and spit in all the right places; with a modern sheen yet sounding natural with it. Given the wide range of vocal talent, it's testiment to Kaytranada's palette and production that the album retains a cohesive core throughout. It's classic in the classic sense - an album to be played from start to finish, not just three big hits segued into a load of filler. Perfect for the car or jeep, or more intimate moments indoors, "Timeless" is another winner from the much adored producer.
