In honor of his achievement, here are our top 10 best Kaytranada songs you should listen to!

1. "One Too Many" (feat. Phonte)

Remember when parties used to be a thing? If you don’t, this song will bring those memories flooding back. Phonte’s vocals ride Kaytranada’s infectious beat effortlessly. Good luck trying not to head bop to this one.

2. "You’re The One" (feat. Syd)

The chorus shines on this track thanks to Kaytranda’s buttery smooth beat and Syd’s silky vocals.

3. "Girl" (with The Internet)

Kaytranada is actually featured in this song and produces a melody that not only highlights Syd’s songwriting but enhances it. This song screams ASMR.

4. "Leave Me Alone" (feat Shay Lia)

The power of social media brought Shay Lia and Kaytranada together. Her covers caught Kaytranada’s attention and they’ve been collaborating ever since. This song is a testament to their incredible teamwork and creative abilities. 

5. "Be Your Girl" (feat. Teedra Moses)

"Be Your Girl" is probably one of the most remixed songs in history but Kaytranada’s version will stand the test of time. You’ve probably heard the ending of this track floating around on TikTok but you have to listen to the entire remix because it’s a vibe!

6. "Glowed Up" (feat. Anderson .Paak)

Everyone should be required to listen to this song. Not only will it hype you up, but it will literally make you feel better. Paak’s cadence is perfect on Kaytranda’s funky beat. They didn’t have to go this hard on this collab but I’m happy they did.

7. "What You Need" (feat. Charlotte Day Wilson)

The harmonies Charlotte Day Wilson gives us are not enough for a 3-minute song. Thankfully, I can play this song as many times as I want!

8. "The Recipe" (with Aluna and Rema)

Kaytranada is a force to be reckoned with on this track. Aluna and Rema’s voices match seamlessly and make this track the perfect dance song for every occasion.

9. "Dysfunctional" (feat. VanJess)

What do you get when you put electric beats and fire vocals together? A classic.

10. "Caution"

This is Kaytranada’s first single since his sophomore album Bubba. His latest beat is a mix of funk, disco, techno, and feels like summer. It’ll definitely be a staple in future party mixes (once the pandemic slows down a bit).
