Anderson .Paak

From an Oscar-winning Lady Gaga collab to the hottest movie album of 2023

As SXSW returned to the Texan capital for another huge party, here are the most thrilling sets we caught at this year's event

Wearing a Rick James-style wig, he played multiple hits including tracks by Silk Sonic

The album is set to arrive next week

The H.E.R.-assisted track marks the duo's first new release since 2016

The duo "would like to gracefully, humbly and, most importantly, sexually bow out of submitting our album this year"

The unlikely cover was performed in Las Vegas over the weekend

.Paak directed the video for the slick new song

Signed to .Paak's imprint on the iconic Blue Note label, the duo's playful spirit ensures they confidently outshine their big-name collaborators

The new record features their label boss .Paak alongside Mac DeMarco, Snoop Dogg and other stars
