Over the past couple of years Thundercat has kept himself busy by making soundtrack songs, appearing in a documentary, and playing on albums from artists like Smino and Channel Tres. Today the artist is back with his first proper new music in two years, "I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time" and the Remi Wolf collab "Children Of The Baked Potato."
The Greg Kurstin-produced "I Wish I Didn't Waste Your Time" is a dreamy, synth-laden jam where Thundercat's layered vocals lament a relationship that didn't work out. "Children Of The Baked Potato" takes its name from the storied hole-in-the-wall jazz club in Los Angeles (which apparently only serves baked potatoes). Aligned with its namesake, the song sees Thundercat and Remi Wolf exchange lead vocals over a frenetic swing beat.
"[Remi is] a child of the Baked Potato like me," Thundercat says 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."
