It was the general consensus a few years ago.

Modern pop.

No disrespect to Bruno but it's a low bar set. Still appreciate the energy he's been allowed to give to what was an increasingly dead sounding music scene.

I miss when R&B was fun.

I dig Paak, Bruno, not so much.

I hope this collab works.

Paak's last album was considered a bit of a wet mop by most so they'll be well suited.

No different from most of these interchangeable "stars" that inhabit the charts today. At least Bruno's is one of the few whose music stands out in the sea of gray that is modern mainstream music.

I thought King James was an excellent exercise in modern Fresh-era Sly & the Family Stone, but yeah it was fairly disliked by most.

I like it very much. Reminds of me of early 70s soul.

I really like it.

I agree I was expecting something more upbeat but I think they read the room well.

We're looking for the "feels" right about now.

As long as the album is serving funky upbeat cuts here and there, I'm okay with a soulful first single. wink

And yes, it got a really nice old-school soul feeling to it. And I like Bruno's singing here.

Gimme more of that joint cool

Yeah me too, and the new song is quite lush sounding actually. I might start to dig it more than I did the first time I listened.

RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

I think Paak's last album was quite enjoyable, although not as strong as Malibu it is still miles above most current artists IMO.

And live with The Free Nationals I think Anderson Paak is at his best!
