The anticipation for Anderson .Paak's new album Oxnard has reached critical levels. The rapping, singing, producing Californian initially created an uproar when it was announced Dr. Dre was touching Oxnard. .Paak's already immaculate production being touched by Dre will only result in gold. Just last week, .Paak blessed fans with a Kendrick Lamar collaboration called "Tints." The funky single increased the hype and scope for Oxnard, but .Paak isn't done granting fans' wishes for more new music.
.Paak took to Instagram to announce a new single called "Beauty & Essex" from his band The Free Nationals that will be dropping tomorrow (Tuesday, October 9th). The latest single will feature Canadian singer and songwriter Daniel Caesar. "Beaty & Essex" also boasts an appearance from New Zealand psychedelic rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra. .Paak's penchant for effortlessly meshing genres will seemingly play center stage on this interesting mash-up of talent.
The cover art for the single features a gold chain with "Beauty & Essex" as the pendant. From the look of the Beats 1 logo on the promo, .Paak will be premiering the single via the Apple streaming service. Look out for "Beauty & Essex" to touch down tomorrow.
