KAYTRANADA, "Caution" [๐Ÿ“ท: RCA]Canadian DJ/Producer KAYTRANADA delivers quite the groovy, vibe-laden instrumental gem with his first single of 2021, โ€œCaution.โ€

KAYTRANADA, real name Louis Kevin Celestin, returns with his first single of 2021, ๐ŸŽต โ€œCautionโ€. โ€œCautionโ€ keeps things tight, running just over two-and-a-half minutes.ย  Thatโ€™s ample time for the Canadian DJ/producer to do his thing.ย  You should definitely proceed with โ€œCautionโ€ โ€“ you just might find yourself tapping your foot, nodding your head, or full-on dancing to this joint!

First and foremost, โ€œCautionโ€ was ๐ŸŽผโœ written and ๐ŸŽ› produced solely by KAYTRANADA.ย  Thatโ€™s notable in an age where so many songs are written and produced collaboratively as opposed to one sole individual.ย  Even many instrumental tracks manage to find their way in numerous producerโ€™s hands before the final product is unveiled.ย  This instrumental, however, is all constructed by Celestin himself.ย  The result is marvelous, period! Celestin drops some truly ear catching minimalism, which is a key part of electronic music.ย  No lyrics, no problem! ย We donโ€™t need any stinking words! The music speaks for itself.ย  Itโ€™s hypnotic, fusing electronic music and R&B seamlessly.ย  This joint is readymade for the club or simply some self-care โ€“ dance therapy โ€“ at the crib.


Final Thoughts ๐Ÿ’ญย 

The best way to characterize โ€œCaution?โ€ย  To quote ๐ŸŽ™2 Chainz, โ€œItโ€™s a Vibeโ€! KAYTRANADA definitely makes our ears perk up.ย  Not only do our ears perk up, so do our feet because thereโ€™s no way you can hear this heavenly gem and not feel compelled to move.ย  Perhaps lives wonโ€™t be changed by โ€œCaution,โ€ but if you need a lift โ€“ a musical pick-me-up โ€“ this short but sweet joint is tailor made for you!
