Marking one year since the release of her album Take Me Apart, Kelela returns with ‘KAYTRANADA_WAITIN_115 BPM’, Kaytranada’s remix of “Waitin.”
The song is yet another release off her forthcoming TAKE ME A_PART, THE REMIXES album due out October 5th, which is executive produced by Kelela and Asmara of Nguzunguzu. When asked what listeners can expect from the forthcoming October 5th release, Kelela notes:
“This project has been evolving in my mind since I was deep in recording Take Me Apart. I obsessed over production choices on the album and my only solace was knowing that the songs would be reimagined in this way. So, it’s not just a bunch of remixes…it’s how my worldwide community of producers and DJs communicate through difference. It’s also about the camaraderie that we experience when we find the overlaps. The same songs get to exist in these alternate realities which means different people get to have a relationship with the music. maybe even with each other.”
The project was announced with a star-studded “LMK” remix featuring Princess Nokia, CupcakKe, Junglepussy, and Ms. Boogie.
