Flying Lotus offers an early listen of two songs from Flamagra with “Spontaneous” featuring Little Dragon and “Takashi.” Each tune is in the R&B universe with the latter going heavy as a funk instrumental. Flamagra comes five years after You’re Dead and has a team of great collaborators including George Clinton, Shabazz Palaces and David Lynch. The new album will be released May 24th.

BADBADNOTGOOD and Little Dragon have connected to score their new single “I Tried.” The Canadian jazz band and Swedish electronic group have been fans of each others’ work for a while and finally had the opportunity to make music together. BADBADNOTGOOD says, 

“We’ve all been big fans of Little Dragon for years, and had a chance to play some shows and hang out with them recently, which eventually led to this collaboration. They’re a truly captivating and unique group of musicians, and we’re really excited to share this song with them and hope to work together again in the future!’ 

And Little Dragon also had words about them, 

“We first met BADBADNOTGOOD at SXSW several years ago and we were struck by their raw sweaty energy. We got really excited when they sent us an instrumental idea, it had a beautiful fragile mood that felt reminiscent of a classic but still new. We are super excited to share the track.”

Evans’ children convinced her to do the collaboration after Little Dragon sent the song to Saadiq for his feedback. Their fifth studio album High came out earlier this year.
