Album of the Year #1 Funkateer is the 2025 studio release from funk legend Bootsy Collins, and it’s a wild, genre-blending ride packed with collaborations from across the musical spectrum—including a notable contribution from Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame. Stewart appears on several standout tracks, including The Influencers, Satellite, and Alien Flytrap, bringing his signature guitar work and production flair to the mix. His involvement adds a layer of melodic depth and alternative rock sensibility to Bootsy’s trademark funk grooves. The album itself features a sprawling lineup of guests like Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Wiz Khalifa, and Musiq Soulchild, and spans funk, hip-hop, soul, and experimental rock. Released on April 11, 2025, via Bootzilla Records and Roc Nation, the album is available in multiple formats—including translucent yellow vinyl and digital edition
