Flying Lotus - More (feat. Anderson .Paak)

Flying  Lotus  -  More (feat. Anderson .Paak)

After the phenomenal success of the Blade Runner: Black Out 2022, the genre-breaking music producer Flying Lotus and the imaginative Japanese anime director Shinichirō Watanabe team up once again, this time for FlyLo's latest music video 'More' featuring Anderson.Paak. The track is from FlyLo's newest album Flamagra which also has an introductory spoken track, 'Fire is Coming', by the legendary filmmaker David Lynch.

It is not surprising that for a crazy, hallucinatory track like 'More', a passionate anime geek like FlyLo would collaborate with the anime talent Watanabe. The music video is a dystopian sci-fi animation short created by the director of 'Space Dandy' and 'Cowboy Bebop'. In the fantastic world of the video, Anderson. Paak is a robot DJ, dancing and rapping to the track, and FlyLo an unfortunate space-traveler whose spaceship crashes on a strange and desolate planet.

Eventually, the spaceman character of FlyLo transforms into a pulpy tree made of his own body organs and starts burning in the end. The surreal visuals of Watanabe brilliantly match the psychedelic sonic world created by Anderson.Paak's powerful verses combined with FlyLo's groovy percussion loops, dreamy synth chords, and Thunderclap's signature bass inputs. This is the first time the two musical geniuses like Paak and FlyLo are collaborating and they certainly don't disappoint.

In a recent interview with Complex, FlyLo has revealed that he and Paak had started working on the track at least five years ago: 'We did that song shortly after he did NxWorries. He was doing stuff with Knxwledge. It was back then.' For one critic who found his last two albums 'boring', 'Anderson. Paak sounds rejuvenated on More, transforming into that rapping soul man we know and love'. Even after the song is finished, the snappy beats and the eerie yet funky sonic atmosphere stay with you. '

'More' definitely compliments David Lynch's dark and ominous 'Fire is Coming' or other collabs in the album Flamagra.
