GRAMMY-winning artist Anderson .Paak has surprised fans with the announcement of a brand new album, Ventura, set for release on April 12 via Aftermath Entertainment. Executive produced by Dr. Dre the album was recorded at the same time as his most recent album Oxnard.
“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,” shares .Paak in a press release. “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’.”
The album is his fourth as the acclaimed artist continues to work his way up the coast. With the announce of the new album also comes news of his biggest tour yet, produced by Live Nation with dates that include Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks and support from Thundercat on the entire tour and Earl Sweatshirt, Noname, Mac DeMarco and Jessie Reyez on select dates.
