KAYTRANADA has released a new track and just when we thought his music couldn't get any better, 'Leave Me Alone' dominates his previous work.

The new track features the vocals of Shay Lia and has already received a lot of praise despite it extremely recent release. KAYTRANADA is one of our favourite producers and 'Leave Me Alone' serves as yet another reason why.

The track is to be featured on an upcoming EP that the Canadian-based producer has been working on, explaining why he's been off the radar for a while. The EP doesn't have too many details just yet but most of the time, you can predict the mood of an EP by simply listening to it's first track and so far, the new release sounds like it'll have a smooth groove to it.

The melody of 'Leave Me Alone' contrasts it's title and actually sounds inviting. The synths float around a solid beat that tends to skip it's way through the track rather than stomp and although the percussion plays a larger part in the introduction, the element slightly subsides as a suave piano track takes the reigns.

'Leave Me Alone' is the kind of song that's good for easy listening whilst also being alright for elegant occasions. Champagne and KAYTRANADA, why the hell not? The ethereal vocals top off the track and make it sound bright and welcoming, just as it will no doubt do on the upcoming EP.

KAYTRANADA's new EP is called So Bad and although there is no release date as of yet, you can still grab 'Leave Me Alone' from the online outlets right now.
