There is no artist quite like 2x GRAMMY Award winner Thundercat.

On one hand, he’s a prodigious talent widely considered one of the greatest bass players on the
planet; on the other, his singular artistry has racked up over 3.3 billion streams. He’s an artist
who can win the Miles Davis Award at the Montreal Jazz Festival for his contribution to jazz,
while also crafting songs that resurface again and again on TikTok — with “Funny Thing”,
“Dragonball Durag” and “Them Changes” recently sparking 7 billion views and over 3 million
creations, propelling the latter back into the Billboard charts and onto Shazam charts across 30
countries.

In 2024, he took over Dover Street Market London with a Spring/Summer collection in
collaboration with the landmark concept store, before making his acting debut in The Book of
Boba Fett, performing on Yo Gabba Gabba, and voicing Grune the Destroyer in ThunderCats
Roar. Equally at home performing with Spinal Tap on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and in Yo Gabba
Gabba’s NPR Tiny Desk Concert as he is on Colbert, Fallon, or the GRAMMY stage with Steve
Lacy, Thundercat is an artist who defies categorisation.

Beloved by cultural icons as diverse as Barack Obama and Kim Kardashian, his impact on
popular culture has been quietly seismic. Since his prominent role on Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp
a Butterfly, he has collaborated with Donald Glover, HAIM, SZA, Gorillaz, Stevie Wonder,
Kaytranada, Travis Scott, Pharrell, and Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak) — and
played landmark sets at Coachella, Glastonbury, Afropunk, and Primavera to name just a few.

Following a sold-out four-night residency at London’s KOKO last year, the amazing
Thundercat returns with his first original music in two years, “I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time”
and “Children of the Baked Potato” (feat. Remi Wolf), out now via Brainfeeder. The tracks
arrive hot on the heels of a brand-new North America and European tour that will also include
six headline dates across the UK, including O2 Brixton Academy.

‘Children of the Baked Potato’ premiered earlier today as part of a takeover of Shibuya TV’s
massive outdoor screen in Tokyo’s bustling central district plus 42 outdoor screens in Miyashita
Park, one of Tokyo’s buzziest urban hangouts with fans invited down to experience it IRL.
Thundercat and Remi Wolf also joined Zane Lowe for an interview on Apple Music’s New Music

Wolf)

Thundercat fans can rejoice that they’re getting not one but two offerings from the big bad
bassist, both of which feature input from the legendary Greg Kurstin. “I Wish I Didn’t Waste
Your Time,” with its relaxed bassline and Thunder’s soft falsetto, taps into the classic
Thundercat sound. The riffs, nimble and familiar, are easy to slip into, a welcome return to form
from a master at his craft.

Meanwhile, “Children of the Baked Potato” invokes a more urgent energy, one where Thunder is
matched by Remi Wolf’s commanding wails. The song’s title refers to the legendary
hole-in-the-wall jazz club in LA, (which, you guessed it, exclusively serves baked potatoes), and
which, for over 50 years, has showcased the best in LA’s jazz scene, fusion greats and studio
icons. It is the place to see your favourite musician’s favourite musicians and was a massive
influence on Thundercat.

“She’s [Remi] a child of the Baked Potato like me,” Thundercat says. “She knew exactly what
the song needed. And it was wild to watch her make it happen. The more I listen to the song, it’s
clear there was no one better I could have picked.”.
