	Malibu New - LP - ERE222 Sealed 2020 Repress On 180gm Audiophile Vinyl. Wonderful Consciences Hip Hop That Will Raise Your Spirits. Anderson Pulls From His Past Superbly While Keep The Music Fresh And Interesting. "Brandon Paak Anderson's Route From Southern California Underground Obscurity Was Not Without Obstructions, But He Efficiently Cleared Them All. The Madcap's Rapier Sharpened With Support From Shafiq Husayn Of Sa-ra, A Stint As Touring Drummer For Haley Reinhart Of American Idol, And An Extensive Assortment Of Guest Appearances. In 2015, He Added Dimensions To Dr. Dre's Compton As A Player On Six Cuts, Then Vitalized A Pair Of Front-loaded Tracks On The Game's Documentary 2. Only Six Weeks After Stones Throw Issued A Loose Ep He Made With Knxwledge, Anderson Released The Proper Follow-up To His 2014 Debut Album Venice. As The Design And Title Of This Album Indicate, Anderson's Work Continues To Be Informed By The Sublime And Toxic Qualities Of His Environment And Sex Life. Throughout, He's A (Stoned) Common Man Making The Best Of His Consequences, Yet He Has An Otherworldly Quality, Like He Has Been Beamed Down To Mine Cosmic Slop From The L.a. County Sewer System And Pacific Ocean Floor. He Adapts Easily To Each One Of The Numerous Twists In Malibu's Sound. Over The Chunkier And Grittier Backdrops That Range From Soul/funk/rock Hybrids To Oblique Hip-hop, He Tends To Be Rasping And Animated As He Alternates Between Singing And Rapping. His Smoother And Lighter Form Of Delivery, Heard In Top Form As A Secondary Component Of The Deep Dancefloor Funk Groove "Am I Wrong," Is So Underutilized That It's Easy To Miss. While Venice Was Made Primarily With L0_def, Malibu Was Created With A Broader, Higher-profile Range Of Producers, Including The Hiatus Kaiyote-sampling 9th Wonder (Joined By Rapsody), Hi-tek, Sticky House Groove Specialist Kaytranada, And Chris Dave, The Last Of Whom Brings Ace Rhythm Section Associates Robert Glasper And Bassist Pino Palladino. Anderson Himself Produced Four Cuts, Including The Hazily Radiant "Parking Lot." Even Fellow Oxnard Native Madlib Is In On The Action Through "Waters," Where A Light-of-touch Beat, Bolstered By A Tugging Bassline, Is Colored By A Sweetly Pained Background Vocal From Bj The Chicago Kid. Compared To The Impressive And Occasionally Brilliant Venice, This Album's Mix Of High And Hard Times Has Deeper Resonance." AMG - Andy Kellman. more
	Oxnard New - LP - 90296617523 Sealed 2LP Gatefold Original On Standard Black Vinyl. His Second Outing On Aftermath Entertainment. "Anderson Paak Recollects On Volume Three Of His Beach Trilogy That He Envisioned, Back In High School, Making Music With Dr. Dre. The Foresight Manifested A Decade Later In A Recurring Role On Compton, And Then A Contract With The Doctor's Aftermath Label, Announced A Few Months Later, Just As Second Volume Malibu Was About To Crash Billboard's R&b/hip-hop Top Ten. A Couple Subsequent Grammy Nominations Further Showed That Paak Could Prosper Without Being Anyone's Protégé, Thereby Making His Aftermath Debut Somewhat Anticlimactic Before It Was Even Completed. Disregard The Context And Oxnard Is Simply The Follow-up To Malibu, Lyrically A Little Deeper And Sonically A Bit Richer, Though A Little Less Novel. It Happens To Bare Dre's Name As Executive Producer And Mixing Engineer, And As Co-producer Of Four Tracks, Three Of Which Are Rhythmically Choppy Backdrops For A Peacocking, Raspy Paak, Basking In Affluence, Berating Rappers, And "Fuckin' Up The Weekend" As He Flashes His Million-dollar Grin. The Dazzling And Layered Fourth Dre Collaboration, "Cheers," Also Involves Q-tip Behind The Board And In The Booth, With Paak Working Through The Loss Of Mac Miller In Poignant Verses And A Stirring Chorus. Other Than That Track, Embedded References To Issues Ranging From Police Brutality To Personal Troubles, And The Post-11/8 "6 Summers" -- Where Anti-trump Taunts Are Balanced By Incisions Like "There's Money To Be Made In A Killing Spree" -- Oxnard Is About Highly Detailed Hijinks And Romantic Conflicts. It's Front-loaded With A Kind Of Vehicular Action-adventure Mini-suite, Beginning In Sweeping Blaxploitation Style With Help From Kadhja Bonet's Voice And Strings, Continuing With The Elegant If Lascivious Pit Stop "Headlow," And Climaxing With "Tints," Glistening And Twisting Modern Synth-funk Fortified By A Duly Animated Kendrick Lamar Verse. Paak Later Verges Closer Than Ever To Loverman Status With The Slowly Chugging Snoop Dogg Pairing "Anywhere," Filled With Flashbacks To '80s And '90s R&b Like One Way, Mtume, And Ruff Endz. Although Paak Is Still An R&b Artist More So Than A Hip-hop One, He Continues To Be A Stylistic Outlier. Rather Than Pander, Testify, Or Even Seduce, He Tends To Express The Blues When He Sings, Epitomized On "Smile/petty," In Which He Confronts A Liar And Wails "My Lady Drives Me High Up The Wall." Later Lyrical Transgression Aside, The Lp Is A Pleasurable Thrill Ride." AMG Review By Andy Kellman. more
