Flying Lotus just dropped his sixth studio album, Flamagra. The 27-track album is the multi-hyphenate artist’s first release since 2014’s You’re Dead!. A five-year hiatus enabled FlyLo to focus on his Brainfeeder label as well as other projects.
The musician’s tracklist is full of high-profile features from an eclectic array of artists like Anderson .Paak, George Clinton, Little Dragon, Tierra Whack, Denzel Curry, David Lynch, Shabazz Palaces, Thundercat, Toro y Moi, and Solange.
The concept behind Flamagra is taken from Flying Lotus’s fascination with fire. “I was really inspired by the idea of: What if there’s a very contained fire in Los Angeles that couldn’t be put out, and what would that be like as a thing for the city, or any American city?” the artist told Billboard. “I just felt some closeness to that and that concept.”
