On freenationalsXX's debut, their music speaks for itself, even as the guests literally sing for them. Check out agracru's review of the frequent AndersonPaak collaborators' first album on their own -
Anyone wondering what Free Nationals sound like on an Anderson .Paak record can just listen to an Anderson .Paak record. But to truly understand what the band is all about,, the band’s first album on their own terms, is a good place to start. Stepping out of .Paak’s shadow feels risky, which isn’t to say that .Paak necessarily overshadows his band, but rather that name association can be a yoke around the neck for artists with their own creative aspirations., to listeners who are familiar with .
The operative word is “could.” Whether Free Nationals are a known quantity to the individual or not, their record feels like an arrival: The qualities they’ve adopted from collaborating with .Paak melt and reform into a piece unique from said collaborations. Put another, blunter way,is too confident, too refined, too self-assured to be boiled down to something as simple as “an album by Anderson .Paak’s band.
Speaking of the guest list: It’s extensive. Apart from Caesar and T.I., Free Nationals have Syd, Benny Sings, Chronixx, Kadhja Bonet, the late Mac Miller, Kali Uchis and many, many more invitees helping out their efforts to refine their personal identity as a musical outfit. On paper, that sounds counterproductive; how can Free Nationals hope to announce themselves as an act unto themselves by stuffing around 20 different musicians on their docket ?
