Anderson .Paak released Malibu to critical acclaim back in 2016, and he is now set to perform the entire tracklist live across the United States.
On Tuesday (June 25), the California native announced that he will embark on The Malibu Tour this fall, where he will perform the album from head to toe over 14 shows.

“DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING EXCITEMENT ABOUT OUR HOLLYWOOD BOWL SHOW I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU GUYS,” he wrote about stretching the act past Los Angeles. “YALLLL ‘THE MALIBU TOUR’ IS HITTING THE ROAD!!! BE READY!!”
The Free Nationals, Maurice Brown and Gawd will be joining him on the month-long trek. General admission tickets go live on Friday (June 28) and can be purchased here.
In HipHopDX‘s 4/5 review of the album in question, Andre Grant wrote: “There’s a mastery present that wasn’t before, as he moves from carefree crooning to low-key bars with ease. Malibu is jazzy, but not in the acid jazz way that was K. Dot’s To Pimp A Butterfly.
“The rhythms are sumptuous and contextual; the songwriting honest and playful. Anderson .Paak and his sunlit septum piercing may be just be gearing up for a breakout 2016.”
He added: “Fearless is a word Anderson likes to throw around, and this album, while not breathtakingly bleeding edge, is chock-full of a man taking chances.
“For as good as the melodies and ripe drums and bass beats are on the album, more impressive is the songwriting. Anderson has writing credits on every single song on the album. Let us marvel, for a moment, at just how rare that is in today’s musical environment.”
