Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals NPR Tiny Desk concert

We have a heretofore overlooked February 2019 issue of NewYorker magazine sitting on my dresser in a neat pile of 1st quarter 2019 issues to thank for our late discovery of this artist. This would have been the read at the beach archive stack in a previous life. Difficult to categorize musicians have a place on Durham Cool. You know why. We thrive on innovative, creatives, hybrid alchemists, vocalists that front as drummers. 48,609,563 views to this video as of 04/27/2020.   By now, you’re familiar with Anderson Paak as he toured extensively and now one of his songs is featured on a major network advertisement backdrop.

An apt phrase for this creative .Paak:  Thank you for the groove!


We throw in a little Mac Miller after Anderson as the algorithm suggests. Listen closely to the second track as the lyric flows and it shows.
