And it turns out we're getting one soon. Anderson .Paak sat down with Triple J recently where he confirmed that he is, in fact, working on the follow up to Malibu. And that the album should be coming out in 2018.
More specifically, .Paak revealed that Dr. Dre will be an important part of the project. Anderson said Dre "had a heavy role in this new album that’s almost done as well. Just going through the mixing phase. I won’t say any dates but you can definitely expect it this year, sometime."
“It’s dope to be around like legends like that and you can feel the mutual respect. That’s what I always did it for, I wasn’t really thinking about money or fame, I just wanted the respect from the people I look up to musically. It’s amazing.”
Anderson .Paak's backing band, The Free Nationals, also announced a new album that will feature appearances from the likes of Mac Miller, Kali Uchis, and Daniel Caesar.
That's a lot of groovy sounding music coming soon.
