Yo Gabba Gabba! is set to return to screens this summer, and will come with a star-studded musical line-up.
A spin-off to the popular kids TV show which ran from 2007 to 2015, titled Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, will premiere on Apple TV+ on August 9. Check out the trailer for the new series below.
The 10-episode series, which was announced in April, will feature a number of well-known names in the music world, with Apple TV+ confirming the involvement of Flea, Anderson .Paak, Betty Who, Diplo, Kurt Vile and Thundercat among others.
The show, which was originally presented by DJ Lance Rock (Lance Robertson), is centred around music, encouraging viewers to sing and dance along, as well as showing them life and social skills. Titles of past episodes have included ‘Eat’, ‘Dance’, ‘Friends’ and ‘Careful’.
The original show, which first aired on Nick Jr. in 2007, featured many guest stars during its eight-year run, including Mos Def, The Killers, Weezer, MGMT and Solange.
Outside of the music world, numerous other A-listers made celebrity guest appearances, including Jason Bateman, Andy Samberg, Elijah Wood and Sarah Silverman.
Apple TV+’s official statement on the upcoming spin-off reads: “Yo Gabba GabbaLand! invites audiences to explore a magical world of endless possibilities and promises with friends both familiar and new, in a reimagining that brings to life an expansive Yo Gabba GabbaLand!”
In other news, Thundercat and Anderson .Paak were among the artists who collaborated with Kaytranada on his new album ‘Timeless’. Other collaborators included Childish Gambino, Don Toliver and PinkPantheress.
In a four-star review of the album, NME wrote: “His tastefully selected collaborations is what gives this album extra brownie points, maintaining Kaytra’s masterful curatorship seen on ‘Bubba’, his Grammy-winning 2019 album.”
Kaytra is at his best when he uses the strengths of his collaborator’s vocals – whether pairing sharp delivery with a catchy percussive line (‘Do 2 Me’ with Anderson.Paak and SiR) or using a voice to mark a key change and change the pace of the track (‘Drip Sweat’ with Channel Tres).
