World Cafe Playlist for 06/10/2025
Tunde Adebimpe joins host Raina Douris
When TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe began sending out demos for the songs that would eventually form his debut solo album Thee Black Boltz, he didn’t get a lot of bites. But, he persisted, and coming up on the World Cafe, he’ll talk about his creative process, getting signed to Sub Pop records, and the big life questions at the core of his new music.
