If It's Too Loud...

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.

"Somebody New" is a joy to listen to, and is brimming with good times.

Tunde Adebimpe says of his latest single: “Breaking up is hard to down dooby doo down do." You can listen to "God Knows" below. Thee Black Boltz is due out April 18 on Sub Pop Records, and is available to pre-order here . For more on Tunde A...
