Thundercat is back with Distracted, an album that marks a creative turning point as well as a major event. Due out on April 3, 2026, exactly six years after his cult, GRAMMY-winning record, It Is What It Is. This new project captures all the artist's energy, eccentricity, and emotional depth.Created hand-in-hand with Greg Kurstin, sound architect for giants like Adele, Beyoncé, and Paul McCartney, Distracted unfurls a broader sound palette than ever before: 15 tracks where cosmic funk, futuristic pop, and raw vulnerability intertwine within a setting of lush arrangements. It features an exceptional cast: Mac Miller, A$AP Rocky, Willow Smith, Tame Impala, Channel Tres, as well as the signatures of visionary producers like Flying Lotus and Kenny Beats, giving each track the feel of a vibrant micro-universe.In the past six years, Thundercat has never left the scene: prestigious collaborations (Silk Sonic, Gorillaz, Justice), arena tours with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Platinum certifications (Funny Thing, Them Changes), not to mention his unexpected appearance in the Star Wars universe, The Book of Boba Fett. Distracted is thus much more than a new album: it is the culmination of a period of exploration and a strong return from an artist who has become an icon.
