A new collaboration between Flying Lotus, Shabazz Palaces and Thundercat has been released as part of the 2015 Adult Swim Singles program.
Woke is the collaborative effort of Flying Lotus, Shabazz and Thundercat and they have just released their new single on Adult Swims Singles program. The single is called “The Lavishments of Light Looking” and was released on September 28th in place of sole release by Flying Lotus that was originally planned. The track also features vocals from George Clinton. The single can be sampled below on Adult Swim’s soundcloud.
The funk effect is pouring out of this track with a mix of a spacy trip through the cosmos. With a noticeable jazz influence the single is a perfect installment into the Adult Swim series. It isn’t until the second part of the song that we hear Clinton’s contribution but he brings it with a delivery of his mantra, “Free your mind.” According to Rollingstone, Flying Lotus and Clinton have had experience working together before on Kendrick Lamar’s “Wesley’s Theory,” where Clinton commented on Lamar as being “a clever kid.”
Through the Adult Swim series we have seen such collaborative artists as Doomstarks and Danny Brown/Clams Casino. We have also seen a release by Run the Jewels, Slayer, Skrillex and Shabazz Palaces. On October 5th the 19 week 2015 program is set to come to an end with a second release from Run the Jewels.
