Anderson .Paak announces K-POPS! (Music from and inspired by K-POPS! Motion Picture). The LP contains music from and inspired by .Paak’s feature film directorial debut, K-POPS!, which comes will premiere on Netflix, May 30. The soundtrack arrives the day before, on May 29, and features JID, G-DRAGON, aespa, LNGSHOT, NMIXX, DEAN, and Kevin Woo (Kpop Demon Hunters’ Mystery Saja), plus JOSHUA of SEVENTEEN, HONGJOONG of ATEEZ, and SOYEON of i-dle. .Paak also appears throughout, and his son Soul Rasheed makes his musical debut.

“I’m excited to finally share the K-POPS! movie and soundtrack with the world,” says .Paak of his ambitious cross-cultural project. “The soundtrack blends genres and influences from across continents, and collaborating with so many talented artists made this project incredibly special. Every song comes from a real place, and together they tell the story of the film in a powerful way. I can’t wait for audiences to experience both the movie and the music.”

.Paak recently released his single “Aftertaste” featuring Seoul alt-R&B artist DEAN. In February, he and aespa teamed up for “Keychain.” Both tracks were produced by Dem Jointz (Jennie, Eminem), who is the executive producer across K-POPS! (Music from and inspired by K-POPS! Motion Picture), with additional production from .Paak and others. The project will also include a new version of .Paak and G-DRAGON’s 2025 single “Too Bad.”

Set against the backdrop of a fictional, Seoul-based K-pop competition show, K-POPS! explores generational connection and cultural exchange through music, following a father and son whose paths collide in unexpected ways. .Paak wrote and directed the movie, and also stars alongside his real-life son Soul Rasheed.

Over the past month, .Paak also appeared on songs by Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso (“Ay Ay Ay”) and NCT member TAEYONG (“Rock Solid”). He is currently on the road with Bruno Mars’ The Romantic Tour, performing as his party-starting alter-ego DJ Pee .Wee across stadiums in North America and Europe — marking one of his largest global touring runs to date and reuniting the Silk Sonic collaborators.
