Following the success of Thundercat and Tame Impala’s “No More Lies” comes the release of a limited edition single sided 7” product on September 29th. The collaboration is the first new Thundercat song in over three years, which arrives ahead of a huge string of tour dates for Thunder’s In Yo Girl’s City tour including North and South American dates. Tickets are available here.

A musical match made in heaven, the duo of Bruner and Parker is an electrifying union. With “No More Lies,” the pair hits the sweet spot between their two individual, complementary styles with laser accuracy.

Their melodic synchronicity belies this love lament, with Thundercat musing on a doomed relationship for which he takes responsibility: “But it’s not your fault, I’m just kind of ass”. The song culminates in a candid monologue from the bassist questioning the sense of honesty being the best policy in relationships: “I tell you the truth because I care, but I also lie to you because I care.”

“I’ve wanted to work with Kevin since the very first Tame Impala album,” shares Thundercat. “I feel that I knew that us working together would be special. I’ve been excited about this song for a long time and hope to create more with Kevin in the future.”

The last few years have been a meteoric rise into the public consciousness for Thundercat, who started off the year performing with Steve Lacy at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, and was awarded Best Progressive R&B Album at the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards (2021) for It Is What It Is. 2022 found him on a stadium world tour with rock legends Red Hot Chili Peppers with Flea subsequently naming Thundercat “the best bass player on the planet”.

His vocals and bass playing are featured on the recent single and title track from Gorillaz’s “Cracker Island,” which he performed with the band at Coachella and the 2022 MTV European Music Awards ceremony. Also in 2022, he covered “Fly Like An Eagle” for the Minions: The Rise of Gru OST, executive produced by Jack Antonoff, and made his acting debut in Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+.
