Thundercat announces new 23-track album Drunk, shares new single featuring Kenny Loggins
Thundercat is back with "Show You The Way", a new cut with Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins from upcoming record Drunk.
The 23-track album, out next month via Flying Lotus' label Brainfeeder, also features guest spots from Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell, Flying Lotus, Kamasi Washington, and Wiz Khalifa.
Drunk is the follow up to 2015's The Beyond / Where The Giants Roam.
Speaking about "Show You The Way" to RBMA, Thundercat says: "These are guys that I’ve listened to and where I felt that I’ve learned that honesty in the music. Kenny Loggins is one of my favorite songwriters.I think one of the most beautiful moments of it was realizing how amazing Michael McDonald was. He would go through so many ideas and have so much to offer…"
"That song, to me, is about going down the rabbit hole, taking you to another place…" Thundercat continues. "On the edge of dark, there’s the brightest light. It means a lot to me in the sense of… the experience that I’ve had growing up with friends and people that I’ve been around where it’s inviting them into where I come from emotionally. Sometimes it’s a pretty intense thing. The point is how weird things can get. I feel like it’s very funny that, in a way, of course Michael McDonald and Kenny would be there."
Thundercat has also detailed a bunch of live dates for the coming months, including a handful in the UK and Ireland in March. Find out more.
