''Kaya'' is a 1978 album by Music/BobMarley, the tenth in his catalogue. It was a surprising NewSoundAlbum in the sense that all the songs are devoid of Bob's usual ProtestSong material. The LighterAndSofter approach is not only heard in the lyrics, which are mostly about love, but the sound is also more laidback. "Is This Love" was the first and only song for which Marley made an official MusicVideo, which shows him dancing and playing with a group of young children in the streets of London. This song, "Satisfy My Soul" and "Sun Is Shining" all became hits.

* CutSong: "Mix Up Mix Up", which ended up on Confrontation, was a jam from the Kaya period that was heavily edited down.
* DistinctDoubleAlbum: 'Exodus' and 'Kaya' were recorded in the same sessions though released a year apart, with Exodus receiving the majority of protest songs and Kaya the majority of love songs. In addition, Kaya's production values were generally moe stripped down and laidback in comparison to the horn-heavy mixes of Exodus (although not exclusively - an Exodus track like "Turn Your Lights Down Low" has exactly the same production style as Kaya).

In fact, Bob's bassist since the late 60s, Aston 'Family Man' Barrett even said he felt Kaya was a remake of "Soul Revolution" (The group had also recorded in the early 1970s a version of "Keep On Moving" during this period (released posthumously) and had previously remade "Duppy Conqueror" and "Put It On" for Burnin' as singles. well as remaking "Stand Alone" as "There You Are" for Marcia Velez several years before).

** This is actually a recording mistake, the tone that plays well after the song has faded out is actually an indicator by the tape player to tell the user that the side of the tape is finished and they should flip it to hear Side B or rewind it (indeed, "Satisfy My Soul" is the last song on the "Side A" part of the album).

** There is definitely something like this going on because "Misty Morning" notes the lack of sun, "Kaya" notes falling rain. Worth noting though that both "Sun Is Shining" and "Kaya" were originally recorded in 1970 or 1971.
*** There's a lyrical and musical relationship in the last three songs, "Crisis", "Running Away" and "Time Will Tell". They are essentially all saying that those who do bad deeds deserve to be punished, but in the meantime you can just relax, praise jah and make love.

* ContinuityNod: It was probably unintentional, but in "Sun Is Shining" Marley sings about the glory of the sun, while the first lines of "Crisis" are:
--> ''They say the sun shines for all''
--> ''But in some people's world, it never shine at all''
* CrapsackWorld: "Time Will Tell"

--> ''She felt like a prisoner who needs to be free.''
--> ''Fools have tried, yeah - wisemen have failed:''
--> ''Oh, listen to me, honey: life could never be another jail.''
* LighterAndSofter: Several songs are about relaxing ("Sun Is Shining"), often with marijuana present ("Easy Skanking", "Kaya", "Time Will Tell") and/or SillyLoveSongs ("Is This Love", "Satisfy My Soul"). This caused quite some criticism from fans who liked Bob as a [[ProtestSong protest singer]] and felt he had "gone downmarket". Marley's next studio album, however, ''Music/{{Survival}}'' (1979) would be his most politically militant record ever.
* LyricalDissonance: "Time Will Tell" has a very relaxing atmosphere, but has this as a refrain:

--> ''Oh, I said: "Baby, never let me be a loner."
--> ''And then you hold me tight, you make me feel all right''
--> ''Yes, when you hold me tight, you made me feel all right''
* RepurposedPopSong: "Easy Skanking", "Kaya" and "Sun Is Shining" are re-recorded versions of songs Marley already recorded in the early 1970s as singles.
* ShoutOut:
** "Crisis" references the song "House Of The Rising Sun", best known in the hit version of Music/TheAnimals:
--> ''Killin' the people, oo-yoo! - (havin' fun) havin' their fun!''
--> ''They just want to be the leader''
--> ''In the 'ouse of the risin' sun.''

** "Sun Is Shining" was remixed into a dance song in 1999 by a group called Funkstar De Luxe, which became a Top 5 hit worldwide and a much bigger chart hit than the original ever was.
* TakeThat: "Running Away" is a take that at people who accused Bob of "Running Away" from Jamaica after his attempted assassination in 1976. There are hints at his belief that the government were out to get him and that's why he wasn't going back. This is often forgotten with the laidback mood of the song, in which lines like "You must have done something you don't want nobody to know about" could be interpreted as some kind of kinky fetish lyric.
* TitleTrack: "Kaya"
--> ''I got to have kaya now''
* YoungFutureFamousPeople: In a music video released to promote "Is This Love" one of the children singing and dancing with Bob is a seven year old Naomi Campbell. Yes, the later famous supermodel!
