MNEK – “Wrote A Song About You (Kaytranada Edition)”
About a month ago, we posted this song about heartbreak and breakup by MNEK. Now Kaytranada has taken this track and made it groovier with techno beats accompanied with some mellowed but upbeat synths. Kaytranada is notorious for inbreeding from genre to genre. On his eclectic mixing style:
I don’t like to label myself as an electronic DJ because I’m always pulling from other genres, cause that’s what I listen to. I listen to hip-hop, R&B, a lot of old disco and that transfers to my music. Even the… I don’t want to call it trap, but I use a lot of that downbeat hip-hop bass, and I just don’t think the electronic label fits it. Nowadays it’s like, how can you tell my music is hip-hop? By the BPM? It’s so hard to slap any one genre onto music because we’re pulling influences from all these other different places, you can’t just place it into one bubble.
MNEK brings the components of raw emotions all in his rnb regalia while Kaytranada boosters the track with tactical approach in his instrumental expertise. Their sound makes the perfect blend for a night of nonstop boogie, so grab a warm body and get down.
