‘Malibu’ landed the 21 spot on NME‘s 2016 Albums Of The Year list. Speaking of the album, NME shared: “It’s been difficult not to sit up and take notice of Anderson .Paak this year. Having stolen the show on Dre’s 2015 comeback ‘Compton’, these past 12 months have seen the West Coast singer/rapper work with everyone from Kaytranada and Chance The Rapper to A Tribe Called Quest and Macklemore. He’s even found time for a collaborative mixtape with producer Knxwledge.
“But his 2016 highlight came back in January with his second studio LP, ‘Malibu’, a 16-track neo-soul epic filled to the brim with new ideas, homages to old school R&B and, most importantly of all, back-to-back bangers. Irresistible earworm ‘The Bird’ is a must-hear.”
Upon its release, ‘Malibu’ landed the Number six spot on the Billboard US Independent Albums chart and the Number Nine spot on the Billboard US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
In other news, Paak was announced as one of the guests on the new Yo Gabba Gabba! spin-off TV show titled Yo Gabba GabbaLand!.
