Nine-time Grammy winner Anderson .Paak has released his highly anticipated new project, K-POPS! (Music from and Inspired by K-POPS! Motion Picture), a genre-blending album that serves as both a soundtrack and a standalone musical experience.

More than a traditional soundtrack, the 17-track collection brings together an impressive lineup of K-pop stars, international artists, and hip-hop collaborators for one of the most unique crossover projects of the year. Featured artists include JID, G-DRAGON, aespa, NMIXX, DEAN, JO1, CHUNG HA, and Kevin Woo.
The album also features appearances from JOSHUA, HONGJOONG, SOYEON, and a special debut from .Paak’s son, Soul Rasheed.
Alongside the album release, Anderson .Paak unveiled the music video for “Caution,” his collaboration with NMIXX. The visual finds the artists playing stylish crime scene investigators in a playful and cinematic concept that blends pop, R&B, and hip-hop influences.
Executive produced by Dem Jointz and overseen by .Paak himself, the album showcases a wide range of sounds while maintaining the soulful, retro-inspired style that has become his trademark. Songs like “Aftertaste” featuring DEAN, “Keychain” with aespa, and “What About Us” featuring JID highlight the project’s diverse musical landscape.
The album arrives ahead of the release of K-POPS!, Anderson .Paak’s directorial debut, which premieres on Netflix this weekend. Set in the world of a fictional Seoul-based K-pop competition show, the film explores family, music, and cultural connection. .Paak stars in the movie alongside his real-life son, Soul Rasheed.
The project continues a huge year for Anderson .Paak, who recently earned his 15th Grammy nomination, was named to TIME’s list of the 100 Most Influential People of 2026, and continues touring internationally alongside Bruno Mars as his DJ alter ego, DJ Pee .Wee.
With K-POPS!, Anderson .Paak delivers a groundbreaking collaboration that bridges cultures, genres, and generations through music.
