Thundercat Joined by Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins For Bizarre, Touching 'Show You the Way' Video: Watch
Thundercat, "Show You The Way"
Thundercat shows us the way with the latest trippy video from his acclaimed album, Drunk. This time around, he teams up with yacht rock icons Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins for the visuals to their unexpected collabo “Show You the Way,” a slow-fizzing funk track that is no joke.
Pop stars like Katy Perry tend to insert adult contemporary icons (Kenny G)
into their songs for a wink-wink joke that they make sure to show
us they're clearly in on. But Thundercat forgoes leaning on the
dichotomy between schmaltzy balladry and hook-infused pop and
just genuinely gels with McDonald and Loggins, enhancing their strong
vocal colors through his own musical idiosyncrasies.
The video
takes on a somber-turned-hopeful tone as it follows a double amputee who
checks into a wellness center -- however, it retains absurdist touches
as the three musicians appear on an old TV set while performing in front
of a cloud backdrop.
Thundercat will wrap up his North American tour at the Red Bull Music Academy Festival with Flying Lotus at LA’s Hollywood Forever on Saturday (Oct. 14). Here’s a list of his remaining tour dates:
