Music and film are being released as one package in a new project from Flying Lotus, who has announced Big Mama, a short EP paired with an accompanying film he directed himself.
The announcement outlines Big Mama as a unified work rather than a traditional release. The EP functions as a standalone listening experience, but it is also built to support the film’s narrative and pacing. Both elements are intended to be experienced together, reinforcing the connection between sound and visuals.
Flying Lotus has long moved across disciplines, balancing music production with visual art and filmmaking. Big Mama fits squarely within that approach, with him overseeing the creative direction on both sides of the project. The format allows for a more focused release, using a shorter tracklist to serve a specific mood and story.
The EP and film are scheduled to debut at the same time, emphasizing that neither is meant to exist without the other. Big Mama is positioned as a complete, self-contained piece that reflects his ongoing interest in storytelling through multiple mediums.
