Since its announcement, heyamine and KAYTRANADA's collaborative album, KAYTRAMINÉ, has generated plenty of hype, which, the two guarantee, will deliver. Read their full interview from W's Pop Issue here:

In 2021, the musicians Kaytranada and Aminé rented a house in Malibu, California, together. “It was a beautiful place, but we were locked in, working every day,” Kaytranada said. After two weeks, they finally let loose: “We threw a huge rager after cranking out tons of songs,” Aminé said. “We played some of them without telling people what they were. It felt like there was no bias—people were just nodding their heads and dancing to shit that they had no judgment about.
Aminé and Kaytranada met in 2014, when the still-unknown Aminé remixed Kaytranada’s track “At All,” calling his new version “Not at All” and uploading it to SoundCloud. Kaytranada—an established DJ and producer who has worked with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Kali Uchis, and Anderson .Paak—caught wind of it, then reached out to show Aminé love. “He was one of the first people to recognize my music, and gave me free beats for my mix tape,, in 2015,” said Aminé.
Kaytranada spent months digging up samples for each track, including a bunch of snippets from Bollywood films, while also drawing inspiration from sources as varied as the legendary jazz pianist Bob James and the rapper Don Toliver. In Malibu, the duo worked almost in shifts: Kaytranada would make beats during the day, and Aminé would listen to them and write corresponding lyrics at night.
In April, Kaytranada performed at Coachella, bringing Aminé onstage to perform “4EVA”—a song that, Aminé points out, Kay first played for him as a throwaway. “I was like, you’re fucking crazy,” he said with a laugh. Although the duo doesn’t have any concrete plans for more live performances, should the opportunity present itself, they won’t say no.
