Anderson .Paak returns with K-POPS! (Music from and Inspired by K-POPS! Motion Picture), a bold cross-cultural soundtrack accompanying his Netflix directorial debut. Featuring an all-star lineup including G-DRAGON, aespa, JID, DEAN, NMIXX, and members of SEVENTEEN, ATEEZ, and i-dle, the 17-track project blends K-pop, R&B, hip-hop, and soul into a vibrant celebration of music and storytelling. More than a soundtrack, K-POPS! captures the spirit of collaboration, connection, and global creativity at the heart of the film. — (via Label)

The album's ebullient tone is set with Paak flanked by Crush on "Flashing Lights," a trap-styled pop celebration that samples Earth, Wind & Fire, who appear in the film. NMIXX and Aespa make like Destiny's Child with their respective turns on "Caution" and "Keychain." Some of Paak's most tongue-twisting work can be heard in the latter, just after his rhyming of "Labubu" with "Miu Miu." Paak effectively trades leads with Dean on the lusting and airy "Aftertaste," showcases the Japanese group JO1 as supporting vocalists on the bumping and gnashing "Wanna Buy a Plant + Cost Me," and sometimes leaves the spotlight entirely for the likes of LNGSHOT and Kevin Woo. There's also a K-Pops! version of G-Dragon's Paak-assisted "Too Bad" (very similar to the original found on Übermensch), and Soul Rasheed makes his recorded debut with the post-disco boogie throwback "Love Is Everywhere." Not to be lost in this enjoyably light entertainment is a stirring and personal finale from Paak that pledges commitment: "My father threw in the towel, too afraid of the heartbreak/But I can't go out that way." Tito, get me some tissue. — (via AllMusic)
