- Without a doubt, Anderson .Paak is the new "it" guy of that place where R&B and hip-hop overlap. It sort of happened overnight, and we can kind of credit Dr. Dre, who gave .Paak permission to leave his fingerprints all over Dre's long-awaited return to music, 2015's Compton. But the palpable, feverish excitement in the breezy night air at Stubb's during NPR Music's SXSW showcase in the moments leading up to .Paak's set was all his own.
Backed by his jaw-droppingly malleable band, The Free Nationals, Anderson .Paak hit our stage sounding as refreshed and crystal clear as he does on his album Malibu, the moment when our collective ears perked up at NPR Music - even after giving his all at at least two showcases before ours, with another coming immediately after.
Throughout the set, .Paak sang and rapped effortlessly, stretching and flexing between each form, the passion in his voice making the transitions seamless. When he wasn't taking us down with his voice, it was the cool oozing out of his dance moves; when it wasn't his dance moves, it was the crowd-pleasing moment when he jumped behind the drum kit and immediately felt right at home.
With every meticulously crafted and performed note, audience members, security, bartenders and NPR staff alike couldn't help but look at one another with wonderment in our eyes - but we didn't dwell on it, because .Paak made damn sure to make us dance. People of all colors, shapes and sizes grooved and swayed together to .Paak and crew, from the stone cold jam "Am I Wrong," to the hat-tip cover of the late David Bowie's "Let's Dance," to "Suede," one of thesongs we loved in 2015. With all of those moments rolled into one, .Paak showed and proved that where good music appears, the party will undoubtedly follow. - Katie Fitzgerald

Anderson Paak and the Free Nationals are the World Stage. When I learned that he is an Aquarian, as am I, then I knew why he is so talented and what his purpose is; a real-life humanitarian with so much to give for so many, many more years. I feel lucky to have encountered him.
Anderson paak lives are so dope
Heard "miss. Right" for the first time today today (live)!! Quickly becoming one of my favs ANDERSON. You are crazy talented and I'm in love with you on so many levels; foremost the talent,
"Real music by real musicians", like Prince would say
Anderson Paak = Legendary entertainer
He so deep in the pocket. That groove is soooooo fresh.
I can't get enough of this "Miss Right " performance !! those instrumentals ,everything man !! # Anderson Paak is beyond amazing man
"Dont be afraid to groove" fuck yess
So many artists that I've respected for their self made struggle against all odds, Prince of course, and Anderson .paak and many others I could name. Do you know what "i" call these beasts? My word for them is "CHAMPION" , does anybody out there feel me??
Meee!!
He's got an amazing band!
Myke Moothursh Free National até hell of a músician broooo!
I feel this in my soul 😩 Anderson Paak is the best - as always.
