Apr 25, 2019Coming across as a familiar yet fresh sound, like a reconciliation of a past lover, Ventura’s soulful presence was crafted by time. Memorable and intimate from the start, Ventura completes Oxnard, as Malibu did to Venice; tying up all loose ends and graciously ready for the next chapter.
-
Apr 12, 2019.Paak manages to both evolve and remind us why we’ve always loved him in the first place.
-
Apr 17, 2019.Paak’s newest project is less cinematic and epic than its companion piece but it’s just as ambitious, texturely rich, and bustling with pleasant surprises.

Apr 11, 2019This is a simple collection of woozy slow-jams and blissed-out recollections (a step back from the hip-hop stylings of ‘Oxnard’, which wrong-footed some fans).
-
Apr 17, 2019Every track is dripping with smooth chords, funk-influenced rhythms and a retro quality to the production, and is all the better for it.
-
Apr 11, 2019It feels like evidence that Ventura is a less ambitious and grandiose project than its predecessor. But it’s also a better and more satisfying album that plays to its author’s considerable strengths and skirts around his weaknesses.
-
Apr 15, 2019Recorded at the same time as Oxnard, Ventura distinguishes itself from its predecessor by being looser and warmer.
