Anderson .Paak has experienced a breakout year with the release of Malibu in January—which stands as one of the best projects of 2016—along with his collaborative project with Knxwledge, Yes Lawd! He keeps that momentum going with the video for Malibu standout track "Come Down" which premieres today in the U.S. on Complex.
The visual takes place "somewhere in Malibu" with .Paak and the Free Nationals putting on a show for a crowd that is in tune with the grooves. Later in the video, .Paak takes the party outside and gets right down to playing up his no fucks given demeanor.
You'll notice Anderson .Paak also plays a handful of characters throughout the "Come Down" video, like a dominoes player getting into a heated argument and a dude so drunk he yacks all over the dance floor.
Those with a keen eye will catch the parallels Anderson .Paak draws in the video to that of the late Ernie Barnes' work.
"We wanted to bring the iconic artwork of Ernie Barnes' Sugar Shack and Marvin Gaye’s cover forI Want You to life," Anderson .Paak told Complex via email. "Sweaty-black-funk-sexy-good-time. Enjoy."
