The influences are a bit obvious and the melodies bright, but Anderson.Paak’s level of passion is insurmountable. Every track seems forged by hours and hours of dedication and meticulous perfecting and the result is magnificent. It seems like Malibu is a run down of all of his skills with each track showcasing a different face of Paak. On this particular tune the subject of adversity is faced with soaring optimism as Paak belts out the lines “I’m a product of the tube and the free lunch” accompanied by a killer verse from MC Talib Kweli.
