KAYTRANADA - Til Dawn

"The name Etran de L’Aïr translates to “the Stars of the Aïr,” the mountainous region of Northern Niger."

This week I had the privilege this week to share the stage with Denzel Curry, arguably one of the most exciting figures in rap music...

El Perro del Mar is merely an extension of me that enables me to do and say the things which I find hard to express in daily life. I’ve been using the name since 2004 when I came across a stray dog on a Spanish beach...

Do it for a reason more important than money or clout and be yourself. Also have fun and don’t be afraid to experiment...

I am a girl, I'm from Los Angeles, I've been making music since I was a baby. I used to be in a band. I also make clothes. I love painting...

I took inspiration from the somewhat schizophrenic yet entertaining behavior of a few cats I've owned who purr for attention and then sink their teeth into you without reason or warning.

I think of this song as a journey that started with a love folk song that somehow turned a different direction into something more mysterious and beautiful that even I can't explain very well...

I try to be authentic and not present myself in a way that’s not relatable for supporters, being authentic to myself and kind to the people who support me has gotten me where I’m at and I’m super grateful for everyone who listens.

Again, like last year, this is my neurodivergent, smooth-brain Zoomer opinion, so if you don't like my picks, I can't help you (and you don't like good music)...
