Tunde Adebimpe, the lead singer of TV on the Radio, has announced his long-awaited debut solo album, “The Black Boltz”, out April 18th via Sub Pop Records.
The album is produced by Tunde Abebimpe & Wilder Zoby, and executive produced by Zoby, with additional production and contributions from Jaleel Bunton & Jahphet Landis (of TV on the Radio), and more. Showcasing his unique voice and visionary soundscapes, “Thee Black Boltz” is a nod to Adebimpe’s propensity to write and sing about the human condition – in all its forms, under all its stressors, both big and small.

Today, Adebimpe has shared the album’s vivid and introspective “Drop,” produced by Jahphet Landis. The song begins with beatboxing before its lyrics question: “But will I feel it when I drop? / Restless hours / The ticking of a clock / On my life / And my life’s just a dot / On a time line / And my soul / Is fading tonight.”
