Distracted is Thundercat’s fifth studio album, featuring contributions from an incredible cast of friends including A$AP Rocky, WILLOW, Tame Impala, Lil Yachty, Channel Tres, and a long awaited collaboration with the dearly departed Mac Miller. What Thundercat ultimately wants listeners to take from Distracted is disarmingly simple: “Just enjoy it and have fun and just know that the struggle is real and changes shape, but just to keep pushing forward.” In an era that demands constant commentary, Thundercat offers something quieter and, in its own way, more radical.He gives permission to be confused.To be tired.To be, well, distracted — and still make something beautiful out of the noise.The record was primarily created in close collaboration with a new creative partner – the super-producer, Greg Kurstin – plus Flying Lotus, Kenny Beats (Kenneth Blume) and The Lemon Twigs.Recommended if you like… Anderson .Paak, Tame Impala, Tyler The Creator, Flying Lotus, BADBADNOTGOOD
