Tunde Adebimpe's debut solo single "Magnetic" showcases his powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence in a striking black-and-white video. Along with dancer Brooke Shepherd, the performance delivers an energetic interpretation of life and music. The song's lyrics reflect on existence, intertwining themes of tenderness and rage. The album, Thee Black Boltz, reveals Adebimpe's artistic versatility, transitioning through various musical eras and styles. While tracks like "Ate the Moon" exhibit industrial rock elements, "Pinstack" offers an upbeat twist reminiscent of past musical influences, representing a unique auditory journey throughout the album.
Every time it ends, I have the impulse to turn it right back on again. It feels like life. Or like life's supposed to feel.
Thee Black Boltz flickers between both dark and light, but the overarching feeling I got from it was of an artist deftly careening through various eras.
'We're gonna crash your matrix/And how you gonna feel about that?' has him following up with: 'Why you wanna come like that' - and then a big, long pause - 'for.'
The chorus goes nuts. 'Magnetic' is a great representative for this entire album, which gives space to whatever it wants.
