Tunde Adebimpe spent years as a co-lead singer of TV on the Radio, the Brooklyn band he helped found, and cut five studio albums with them before finally stepping out alone. Thee Black Boltz, his first solo album, arrived in April 2025, and it keeps the band's experimental itch while putting that big, searching, soulful voice squarely in the middle of the frame. "Magnetic" and "God Knows" show it at full stretch.
Adebimpe has never stuck to one lane. Born in St. Louis in 1975, he has built a parallel life as an actor, turning up in Rachel Getting Married, Marriage Story, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Twisters, joining Star Wars: Skeleton Crew in 2024, and lending his voice to animated series including Tuca & Bertie, Strange Planet, Pantheon and Lazor Wolf.
That restlessness is all over the record: it sounds like a man who has spent his life switching between art forms and finally decided to pour all of it into one set of songs.
