  1. 8.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    99.9% is an assertion of identity and a rejection of identity and a whole lot of other things all at once, and provides some of the most incredible music of the year all the same

  2. 8.3 |   Consequence Of Sound

    This album is a massive achievement

  3. 8.3 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    As the obnoxious pomp and circumstance of big-blast EDM subsides, there’s never been a better time to be an innovative talent with an ear for exciting house music. Kaytranada is that talent

  4. 8.0 |   The FT

    Celestin imprints himself upon the different genres with whip-smart beats and jazzy drones, a constant to-and-fro of tension and release
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    It's really no wonder that Kaytranada has become one of the most sought-after producers these days
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   NOW

    While 99.9% delivers on his usual glistening, housey R&B, the heady mix of soul, jazz, house and breakbeat elements constantly shifts the pace but not the daydreamy tone

  7. 8.0 |   Pitchfork

    He excels at chopping samples, but his colorful sound is never derivative
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   Spin

    This project exhales confidence; the opener “Track Uno” is a multi-part, skittering funk joint that unfurls with the sheen of artisanal marmalade

  9. 8.0 |   Clash

    Kaytranada could grow in stature the way The Neptunes did if ‘99.9%’ is anything to go by, even if he is more comfortable residing in the shadows

  10. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Dude really deserves that extra 0.1 per cent
    Read Review

  11. 7.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    Ultimately, 99.9% is a pleasing, if a somewhat slight record, that’ll serve as a great primer for those who are unfamiliar with the talented producer

  12. 7.4 |   Earbuddy

    The music is kinetic enough, there’s enough variation in the compositions
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   The 405

    To the gustatory synesthete, listening to Kaytranada's music is probably the equivalent of sucking on a pack of Starburst where all the flavours are orange: refreshing at first, if not a bit sickly in the end

  14. 7.0 |   FasterLouder

    This is psychedelic soul for the twenty-first century. Just go easy on it
    Read Review

  15. 7.0 |   Beardfood

    It never gets as exciting as tougher previous work. As a whole, though, a quality product and a fun listen

  16. 7.0 |   Gig Soup

    Although it is risky to combine modern pop artists on this album, some of the features make for an interesting and satisfying listening experience and provide a new step forward for Kaytranada

  17. 7.0 |   Resident Advisor

    He's a young artist with diverse taste and a wide knowledge of records, and the raw talent to work those influences into a unique sound
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    The great stuff here is really worthwhile though, and it’s almost enough to give the album a full recommendation; almost, but not quite

  19. 6.0 |   DIY

    It is a work that threatens to find him in the shadows, leaving the spotlight to bigger names. On the basis of this full-length’s finest moments, he’s better than that

  20. 6.0 |   The Observer

    A millennial collection that flares its nostrils at genre

Du Blonde  Sniff More Gritty

The most glorious aspect of ‘Sniff More Gritty’ is that Beth is finally free to be herself unapologetically. She’s very much an outsider but it’s a space that she wholly embraces as her own, and thrives in Clash

Du Blonde  Sniff More Gritty

The latest from Du Blonde has big hooks that might be too catchy for their own good Spectrum Culture

Du Blonde  Sniff More Gritty

If 2021’s Homecoming marked Du Blonde’s transition from the psychedelic experimentalism released under her birth name to a take-no-prisoners glam-punk persona, its follow-up is that of an ascendant star honing her craft. Print edition only Uncut
