Essentials: “Oh LaLa” – Justine Skye, KAYTRANADA

Montreal’s favorite son has teamed up with R&B artist-actor Justine Skye for what could very well be the hottest single released this summer.

The house cut is vocal-driven, and features syrupy vox from the American singer-songwriter — and additional vocals and writing from New York tastemaker-wordsmith CAKESDAKILLA and ATL’s Baby Tate, formerly Yung Baby Tate (Mani/Pedi, STUPID ft. Ashnikko) — intertwining a devilishly danceable tempo, KAYTRA’s signature.

Following the track’s release on May 30, fans clamored online for a joint album from the artists. No word yet on a full-length collaborative project, but the pair released a ‘Thankful Daily’ remix of the song on June 27, alongside a trippy visualizer.

“Oh LaLa” is Justine Skye’s first offering following her signing to Warner Records.
