If you have a love of 80's music, you're going to love the latest from Tunde Adebimpe. The TV on the Radio frontman has released "Somebody New," which is a synth heavy, 80's style party jam. It's probably a little more lo-fi than your typical 80's song, but that's mostly because music back then was supposed to sound futuristic and this is meant to be retro. "Somebody New" is a joy to listen to, and is brimming with good times. Seriously, this is going to make you want to dance, and you'll be Googling "80's dance nights near me" by your fourth listen in a row. Of course, this one has a light layer of 00's indie sleaze over it, but that just gives it a layer of grit to keep things interesting.
Tunde Adebimpe says of his new video:
“I’m positive I fell asleep on a couch with the TV on sometime in 1982 and fever dreamt this exact thing.”
You can watch the video for "Somebody New" below. The Black Boltz is due out April 18 (tomorrow!) on Sub Pop Records, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Tunde Adebimpe, check out the artist on Instagram.
