Released just months after Oxnard, Ventura finds Anderson .Paak embracing a warmer, more soulful sound while continuing to showcase his effortless blend of R&B, soul, funk and hip-hop. Rich in live instrumentation, smooth grooves and heartfelt songwriting, the album highlights .Paak's remarkable versatility as a singer, rapper and drummer.
Featuring standout tracks including "King James," "Make It Better" (featuring Smokey Robinson), "Come Home" (featuring André 3000) and "Reachin' 2 Much" (featuring Lalah Hathaway), Ventura combines vintage soul influences with contemporary production. A stellar lineup of guest appearances—including Brandy, Jazmine Sullivan and Nate Dogg (posthumously)—adds further depth to one of Anderson .Paak's most celebrated releases.
Winner of the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, Ventura is a modern soul classic and an essential addition to any collection, offering timeless songwriting, infectious rhythms and impeccable musicianship.
