Dec 17, 2019Bubba is another set of coherent, well-sequenced set of tracks without any major drop-offs, all the more impressive as the album runs more than 50 minutes. It’s flexible, ever-moving, a dance record that could have come from no one else.

Dec 16, 2019Bubba has a subtle confidence that beds in after each listen. Welcome back mate, we missed you.

Dec 16, 2019While 99% provided the initial space for Kaytranada to make his mark, BUBBA is where it matures.

Dec 16, 2019[Midsection] is a rare bum note in a record that’s packed with goodies and effortlessly cool.

Dec 16, 2019Bubba may be lacking the type of big bangers that thrive in festival sets like ‘99.9%’, but is no worse for it. Instead it’s a dizzying hour that is more interested in enthralling the already-fans that have made it into the club and to give them a helluva night. Job done.

Dec 16, 2019The new LP is a touch less bombastic than its predecessor, but its freedom and euphoria arrive via beats not all that different from Kay’s past tunes. Given both the emotional growth that often accompanies coming out—and the three-plus-year wait for something new from Kay—this minor amount of perceptible change feels a bit underwhelming. But the similar shuffle delineating the majority of these tracks is never anything less than catchy.

Dec 18, 2019At times the production is marred by brevity and unevenness, which can make ‘BUBBA’ sound more like a mixtape in places. Thankfully, these moments are outnumbered by others where Kaytranada is well and truly back on form.
