Thundercat It Is What It Is

It Is What It Is is the acclaimed 2020 album from boundary-pushing bassist and producer Thundercat, blending jazz, funk, soul and electronic influences into a deeply personal and emotionally resonant release. Written in the wake of loss and reflection, the album explores themes of love, grief and acceptance with a balance of sincerity, humour and introspection.

Co-produced with Flying Lotus, the record moves effortlessly between laid-back grooves and contemplative moments, showcasing Thundercat’s signature bass work and distinctive vocal style. The album features a stellar lineup of collaborators including Ty Dolla $ign, Childish Gambino, Kamasi Washington, Steve Lacy and BADBADNOTGOOD, adding depth to an already richly textured sound.

This Deluxe Edition is pressed on 140g clear vinyl LP, housed in a premium 6mm spined gatefold sleeve with gold foil detailing, and features photography by Eddie Alcazar. An MP3 download code is also included, making this a beautifully presented and collectible version of one of Thundercat’s most celebrated albums.
