Anderson .Paak is an undeniable force. Not even half a year since he released his album Oxnard, the Cali artist already has another LP in the works for your enjoyment. Today he’s delivered “King James,” the first song from the forthcoming album Ventura out April 12th via Aftermath Entertainment, exclusively distributed by 12 Tone Music, LLC.
Along with the new track we’re also getting the tracklisting, which reveals that Smokey Robinson, André 3000, Jazmine Sullivan, Brandy, Nate Dogg, Lalah Hathaway and Sonyae Elise will be featuring throughout the 11 songs making up this album.
Stream the track and check out more details below.
Anderson explains about the album:
Growing up in Oxnard gave me the grit and the church to find this voice of mine. One town over I went further and found my depth. The duality of each place inspired me greatly and from that I made two albums at the exact same time but held one back because that would have been too many songs to perform live for you all! I like ending things on an even number so welcome to ‘Ventura.’
