    Exactly how I felt, Kaytranada always has solid and groovy production, often too good to the point where artists need to match Kaytra's style. Aminé on the otherhand was just a lacklustre performance for me personally, especially with some of the lyric focus.
    I also felt this album was advertised to be a lot more summery than it is, I was enticed by 4EVA and was hoping to hear more dance summery bops like that. So it's just a shame it just didnt stick the landing.

    I do agree with Fantano that it could've definetly be better and that a few more summery beats would've made it better but it's amazing, amine's flow and some lyrics are mad underrated, the features are amazing and fit so good, and songs like rebuke and ugh ugh are amazing, sossaup is good though it grows on you and that might be a thing that fantano isn't right about, and k&a is perfect for me, the beat switch, amine's lyrics, amazing, the album could've been a 10 but it's definetly not a light 6, it's realistically a strong 7 to a light 8, that's my opinion

    Before listening to it, I thought it would be like a summer album or so, but most of the songs were the opposite vibe, like too low key
    Hoped the whole album in 4EVA and Rebuke's style

    Production is good but the album as a whole just feels very unenthusiastic and half-hearted. With that being said, it was still better than I expected. It’s certainly not a bad summer album and still has decent replay value.

    4eva just set the bar so high, the album is fine tho, a 6 is fair

    If the title was flipped and the album was called AmineKaytr, you would’ve given it a 10.

    I think the whole "summer vibes" thing was a little misleading lol
