Thundercat’s “She Knows Too Much” is a bittersweet collaboration with the late Mac Miller. He reached out to Miller’s estate and was approved to finish and release the song on his sixth album, Distracted. Producer Greg Kurstin worked with Thundercat to complete the production. The animated video has the two of them on a car ride, a rollercoaster, and a flying saucer. Their wild time together as cartoon characters matches the song’s energy. Video director Léa Esmaili shared her vision for it:
“First of all, making this music video is a huge honor, as I grew up with these two artists and have admired their universe since I was a teenager. I wanted to create, within a single video, a fun animated moment by mixing styles either it’s 2D animation or 3D. Beyond that, I wanted to build a burlesque narrative around two friends who spend a completely crazy day together, tied to their friendship and to anime of this kind.”
WILLOW and Channel Tres are also on Distracted, which comes out on April 3rd.
