Thundercat announces new album It Is What It Is, shares new single ‘Black Qualls’

It Is What It Is follows on from Thundercat’s masterful 2017 project Drunk, and features the likes of Kamasi Washington, Lil B, BADBADNOTGOOD, Childish Gambino, Ty Dolla $ign and comedian Zack Fox. He’s also shared the lead single from the record, ‘Black Quall’, which features The Internet’s Steve Lacy and Steve Arrington – check it out below. 

 

 

In a statement accompanying today’s news, Thundercat described It Is What It Is as a cathartic experience, saying “This album is about love, loss, life and the ups and downs that come with that.” He added, “It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, but at different points in life you come across places that you don’t necessarily understand… some things just aren’t meant to be understood.”

 

 

It Is What It Is arrives via Brainfeeder Records this April. Check out our Gear Rundown on Thundercat here
