Distracted
Thundercat
Thundercat’s Distracted is a 2026 album and his first full-length release since It Is What It Is. It continues his fusion of jazz, funk, soul, psychedelic pop, and LA beat-scene looseness, but with a slightly cleaner, more song-focused shape. Produced largely with Greg Kurstin, alongside contributions from Flying Lotus, Kenny Beats, and The Lemon Twigs, the album surrounds Thundercat’s fluid bass playing and falsetto vocals with glossy, spacious arrangements.
The record leans into the feeling suggested by its title: overstimulation, romantic confusion, burnout, self-sabotage, and the strange comedy of being emotionally scattered. Guests including Tame Impala, Mac Miller, Lil Yachty, A$AP Rocky, Channel Tres, and WILLOW help broaden the palette, moving from smooth psychedelic soul on “No More Lies” to playful regret on “I Did This to Myself” and deeper reflection on tracks like “I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time” and “Pozole.” Distracted feels both funny and wounded, a sleek but restless album about trying to keep moving while your mind, heart, and phone are all pulling in different directions.
