The album has a very relaxed, laid back sound, lacking much of the militant quality of the Wailers lyrically and musically. They received criticism for 'going soft' as a result of the general sound of the album as well as the theme: songs primarily revolving around love, as well as marijuana.

The album's release coincided with the One Love Peace Concert, heralding Marley's triumphant return to Jamaica from exodus in London. Three of the songs are new versions of tracks from the 1971 album Soul Revolution Part II. Well-known songs from the album include "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My Soul". Kaya reached the top five in the UK album charts.

Kaya — студийный альбом ямайской рэгги-группы Bob Marley & The Wailers, вышедший в 1978 году. Альбом состоит из композиций, записанных в одно время с материалом для предыдущего альбома, Exodus. У Kaya спокойное, мягкое настроение, констрастирующее с воинственным посылом The Wailers; основные темы — любовь и курение марихуаны («kaya» — одно из названий марихуаны).
