Tunde Adebimpe Releases Video for 'Somebody New' Ahead of Debut Solo Album

Tunde Adebimpe, frontman of TV on the Radio, is set to release his debut solo album, Thee Black Boltz, this Friday, featuring the newly released single 'Somebody New.' The song showcases a dance-pop sound with Adebimpe's rich vocals over synth-heavy production, and its music video, directed by Adebimpe himself, is described as a vibrant, surreal experience reminiscent of 1980s television. 'Somebody New' is the fourth single from the album, following 'Magnetic,' 'Drop,' and 'God Knows,' all of which have received positive attention. Adebimpe expressed the thrill and challenge of creating the album independently, noting that the absence of his bandmates' contributions pushed him into uncharted creative territory. He will also perform at a record release show in Los Angeles shortly before the album's official launch. Thee Black Boltz is produced by Adebimpe and Wilder Zoby, with additional contributions from his bandmates, emphasizing a blend of personal and universal themes in the music.
