Kaytranada reveals fourth album AINT NO DAMN WAY! with Space Invader

Kaytranada’s summer calendar just got busier. The Canadian producer and rapper announced the forthcoming fourth studio album, AINT NO DAMN WAY!, to be released on Friday via RCA Records, and released the lead single Space Invader ahead of the album’s drop. Space Invader arrives after a Berlin-set tease earlier in the year and centers a late-night, club-ready groove built around a sample from Latrelle and Kelis’ My Life. The Neptunes’ Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo are credited as co-writers, while the track features no guest appearances, giving Kaytranada’s production the full foreground.

AINT NO DAMN WAY! follows Kaytranada’s 2024 album Timeless, a 21-track, collaboration-heavy project that earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album, peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard 200, and reached No. 2 on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. Since then, he issued an instrumental version of Timeless and contributed production to tracks for artists including FLO and Mariah Carey, underscoring his ongoing influence in the dance and R&B spaces. There have also been hints of broader collaborations in the works, fueling anticipation for the new material.
