KAYTRANADA Produced Maeta Album 'Endless Night' is Out Now: Listen

Maeta, the RnB heartthrob known best for her smooth as silk voice and seductive lyrics, is out with a full length project now, produced by the one and only KAYTRANADA. The duo is being hailed as MAETRANADA, a name borrowed from the aftermath of KAYTRANADA’s naming conventions in collaboration (KAYTRAMINE, anyone?) The two are finally out with Endless Night, and certainly calls for the need of an unending listening experience.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

Maeta’s infectious energy is matched perfectly by KAYTRANADA’s eclectic production that lends itself beautifully to listeners of both RnB and hip hop. The album follows up the release of single, ‘DJ Got Me‘ with the vibrant mood it left us in, dancing and grooving to Maeta’s woes. The reverb drenched vocals fill up your stereo spread throughout the LP, making it a slow and intimate experience. The music is as introspective as it is commercially viable, and marks a landmark moment in Maeta’s career.

MAETRANADA OUT TONIGHT PEOPLE!

KAYTRANADA, too, came with fresh energy off the successful reception of his recently released album TIMELESS. Debuting at #28 on the Billboard 200, having sold 21,000 units the first week, TIMELESS, spoke to the capabilities of KAYTRANADA in a refreshing manner — an impression that is only solidified further with the release of Endless Night. Will it do as well as the last project, though? Check out the project to decide for yourself below!
