So, itвЂ™s no wonder that at times ThundercatвЂ™s music possesses the blippy forward momentum of Japanese cartoons and 8-bit video games. His affection for animation also made its way onto It Is What It Is: The song вЂњDragonball DuragвЂќ is a reference to the classic anime Dragon Ball Z. That love of cartoons is reflected in his stage name, a reference to the 1980s cartoon show ThunderCats. I just spent most of the year sitting on the couch, watching cartoons, anyway.вЂќ IвЂ™m feeling like I was kind of prepared for it. ItвЂ™s a bit emotionally distressing, but itвЂ™s all good. вЂњI miss being able to play with my friends on stage and grow in front of everybody. Thematically, the record deals with a whole spectrum of feelings tied to the idea of connection-from hoping to connect with someone new on a cut like вЂњOverseasвЂќ to feeling disconnected on вЂњUnrequited Love.вЂќ But amid the coronavirus pandemic, the introverted artist is feeling especially disjointed. It Is What It Is, an album sonically distinct from ThundercatвЂ™s work in other ensembles, is an echo-drenched, spacey romp thatвЂ™s tethered to Earth by both fat synth lines and his own serpentine bass playing. вЂњWeвЂ™re still the closest of friends,вЂќ he added. Flying Lotus me the ropes, so to speak, and what it meant to be very much an artist of your own.вЂќ Badu selected him to play in her band when Thundercat still was in his teens, and then tapped the young bassist to work on her New Amerykah records. The bassist also cites Erykah Badu as being вЂњvery instrumental in my development as an artist.

And his track record was pretty clear: Patrice Rushen, Gerald Albright, Tyrese Gibson, The Pharcyde. And it wouldnвЂ™t be a diss to my father, because my father trusted him like his brother. вЂњAnybody that got a chance to be his student, he became like a dad.

вЂњReggie Andrews was like my second dad,вЂќ he said.

Watch the animated video for вЂњGruneвЂ™s TuneвЂќ and the panel below.Д«ack in April, Thundercat released his fourth studio album, It Is What It Is, which featured contributions from Childish Gambino, Kamasi Washington, BadBadNotGood, Steve Lacy, and more.Thundercat is a second-generation product of the Los Angeles jazz scene: Drummer Ronald Bruner Sr., his father, gigged with saxophonist Rickey Washington, father of Kamasi Washington. The funk and jazz maestro born Stephen Burner has contributed a new song called вЂњGruneвЂ™s TuneвЂќ to Cartoon NetworkвЂ™s ThunderCats Roar.ДЄs Pitchfork points out, BurnerвЂ™s song is about a villainous anthropomorphic saber-toothed tiger named Grune the Destroyer, of which he also voices in the series.Дuring a panel on Thursday, Burner spoke about his life-long fascination with ThunderCats and revealed his musical moniker came about because he frequently wore a ThunderCats T-Shirt in the studio, leading Erykah Badu to refer to him as вЂњThundercatвЂќ. Who better to write a new song for the ThunderCats reboot than the musician named Thundercat.
