Thundercat, also known as Stephen Lee Bruner, is a powerhouse in the music industry. Bursting onto the scene with his debut album 'The Golden Age of Apocalypse,' he quickly made a name for himself with his funky bass lines, dreamy melodies and captivating lyrics, merging jazz, soul and electronic music in a unique mix. His mesmerizing music abilities make a ripple effect across genres, with collaborations that reads like the who's who of music, from Kendrick Lamar to Erykah Badu, and from Kamasi Washington to Ty Dolla Sign. He has not only redefined the genre frames but also changed the sound of popular music.
Most will be familiar with the name Hiro Murai, the director behind several of Thundercat's music videos, including "Them Changes", "Black Qualls" and "Dragonball Durag". In "Dragonball Durag", Thundercat's seamless fusion of nerd culture and stellar R&B is demonstrated, where he is seen courting various women while sporting a Dragonball-themed durag, a quirky testament to his eccentric sense of style. The amusing visual treatment for the smooth tune unmistakably mirrors Thundercat’s personality: both are fun, quirky, yet soulful all at the same time. In another delightful twist, the music video for "Them Changes" revolves around an unlikely narrative: a samurai has his arms cut off and has to come to terms with his new life, a somewhat metaphorical representation of a heartbreak. These engaging music videos not only showcase Thundercat's original sound but highlight his charm and quirky sense of humor without ever using the term 'funny'. His adventurous approach to music and video storytelling makes him one of the most intriguing artists out there.
