Following last year’s ‘Oxnard’ album, Cali writer, singer, rapper, and producer Anderson .Paak returns with a superb, soulful set in the form of ‘Ventura’. Right from the off the tone is set with the blissful ‘Come Home’ that drips with early 70s West Coast Motown, the infectiously catchy ‘Make It Better’ features Smokey Robinson, Lalah Hathaway lends her vocals on the multi-styled ‘Reachin’ 2 Much’ – a track that starts off a boogie laced mid-tempo before taking a hard left and emerging as a pumping, wah wah laced dancer – while the clubby swagger of ‘King James’ aims at the feet again. ‘Winners Circle’ and ‘Yada Yada’ both have a lazy, sunny vibe while the pulsating dancefloor burner ‘Twilight’ is a highlight. More to discover on this strong, inventive set.
