Anderson .Paak has announced plans for a brand new album

Anderson .Paak has announced plans for a brand new album.

Titled 'Ventura', the record is set for release on 12th April, and was executive produced by Dr. Dre.

Recorded at the same time as most recent effort 'Oxnard', Anderson .Paak explains: “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’.”

There's also a new tour, which will also feature appearances from Mac DeMarco, Noname, Thundercat, Earl Sweatshirt and more.
