On his new album 'It Is What It Is,' Thundercat swaps his zanier tendencies for smooth-sailing '70s-inspired R&B. Read sabyRK_'s review:
Sometimes, versatility can become a limitation of its own. Bassist Stephen Bruner, aka Thundercat, has played in such a variety of musical settings that he’s always had an abundance of styles at his fast-moving fingertips. Anyone who has enough fluency to go from playing with Suicidal Tendencies to Erykah Badu, Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar, etc. has choices to make as far as what directions to pursue when they sit down to make their own music.
Bruner encourages his guest musicians to go off just as much as he does. Oftentimes, the keys, drums and bass seem to race each other like stock cars, yet the flow gently continues even when Bruner intentionally contrives a pileup. Thirty seconds into the swooning love song “Dragonball Durag,” for example, the beat abruptly drops out for five seconds as saxophonist Kamasi Washington unleashes a flurry of notes. But the tune resumes with a ballet dancer’s grace.
