Thundercat is back with two new songs, ‘I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time’ and a Remi Wolf collab called ‘Children of the Baked Potato’. Greg Kurstin worked on both songs, which mark Thundercat’s first proper new music in two years. Take a listen below.
‘I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time’ is a smooth slice of R&B with particularly wistful lyrics, while ‘Children of the Baked Potato’ is as playful as the title suggests. (It takes its name from a beloved Los Angeles jazz club that only serves baked potatoes. “[Remi is] a child of the Baked Potato like me,” Thundercat said in a press release. “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.”
Though he hasn’t released an album since 2020’s It Is What It Is, Thundercat has kept busy, collaborating with acts like Justice, Tame Impala, Gorillaz, Silk Sonic, and more.
