Thundercat’s latest album, ‘It Is What It Is’, was released in April and boasts collaborations with Childish Gambino, Kamasi Washington, BADBADNOTGOOD, Louis Cole and Zack Fox.

In a four-star review, NME wrote: “The jazz-fusion bassline don reins in the funk to honour his fallen friend, though also lets loose with the likes of Childish Gambino by his side”, adding that the “versatile superstar mediates on life and death with a tribute to Mac Miller”.

“‘It Is What It Is’’s magic moment comes as Thundercat links up with Steve Lacy, Childish Gambino and ‘80s funk hero Steve Arrington on ‘Black Qualls’; the disco-funk tune should be up for consideration as the best song of 2020. Its inclusion here gives a comforting indication that, for all of the album’s heavy rumination on life, death and healing, Thundercat can still kick back when required.”

In 2016, Thundercat won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Performance for his work on the track ‘These Walls’ from Kendrick Lamar‘s multiple Grammy award-winning 2016 album ‘To Pimp a Butterfly‘.
