Tunde Adebimpe, lead singer of TV on the Radio, makes his solo debut with the single “Magnetic.” The multifaceted artist, who is also a musician, actor, director and visual artist, has signed with Sub Pop Records and will release his first album outside of his band in 2025.
onathan Poneman, co-founder of Sub Pop, spoke about Adebimpe's arrival at the label:
We heartily welcome Tunde Adebimpe to Sub Pop’s roster of artists. His inclusion makes the whole lot better – and a whole lot classier! We’ve waited 20-plus years for Sub Pop to earn the chance to be Tunde Adebimpe’s label.
TV on the Radio's most recent album, the excellent Seeds, was released in 2014. The band is currently on tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes, which has been reissued with bonus tracks. In September, the band shared one of those tracks, "Final Fantasy," which is a demo that became the song "Bomb Yourself," from Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes.
