Flying Lotus, Thundercat, and Shabazz Palaces Just Dropped a Single with George Clinton

MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS!

I… uh… so, listen… this week's edition of the Adult Swim Singles project was previously billed as a Flying Lotus track. What they sneakily neglected to tell us is that it was not just a Flying Lotus track but rather a song from WOKE, the union of Flylo, Thundercat, and Shabazz Palaces. The new song, "The Lavishments of Lights Looking," finds the jazz-rap cabal piloting a cosmic flight of funk frenzy aided by none other than funkateer general emeritus George Clinton. Imagine a sunnier cousin to the apocalyptic gloom of Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly album opener "Wesley's Theory," which featured many of the same players and a similarly Parliamentian stomp. Imagine a whole album where this came from. Imagine it solving world hunger and ending jealousy and war. Imagine a million hearts exploding into candy and confetti. MY GOD, IT'S FULL OF STARS. Stream "The Lavishments of Lights Looking" below.
