Kaytranada's Star-Studded 'Timeless' Is Here: New & Upcoming Canadian Album Releases

Kaytranada's hotly-anticipated and star-studded new album drops today (June 7), leading a big week of new releases from Canadian artists including Super Duty Tough Work, Rick White & The Sadies, Bobby Bazini and more.

Some notable artists have also recently announced new albums, including Jim Cuddy, Twin Flames and Klô Pelgag.

See the full calendar below, after our Album of the Week.

Album Of The Week: Kaytranada, Timeless

It is hard to believe that Timeless is only the third full-length album release from Montreal producer Kaytranada. His discography may be small, but his reputation, both at home and internationally, is now huge, thanks in part to two Grammy awards and a coveted Polaris Music Prize (2016). No wonder then that anticipation for this new album has been feverish, fuelled in part by the star-studded collaborations it features. Check this for just a partial list: Thundercat, Childish Gambino, Channel Tres, PinkPantheress, Tinashe and Anderson .Paak, plus Canadians Rochelle Jordan, Lou Phelps and Charlotte Day Wilson. The diverse set of artists confirms Kaytranada’s musical adventurousness, skipping across genres with ease. This generous 21-song collection delivers a sumptuous sonic feast.
