Ventura is the fourth studio album by American singer Anderson .Paak. It was released on April 12, 2019, by 12 Tone Music and Aftermath Entertainment. It features guest appearances from André 3000, Smokey Robinson, Lalah Hathaway, Jazmine Sullivan, Sonyae Elise, and Brandy, along with posthumous vocals from Nate Dogg.

Ventura was supported by two singles: `King James` and `Make It Better`. The album received widespread acclaim and debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200. It is Paak`s first US top 10 album. The album won Best R&B Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards.

Background
In May 2018, Dr. Dre leaked the title to Paak`s third album, Oxnard Ventura during an Instagram livestream. However, the title of his third album was later changed to Oxnard.[3] Paak has stated in interviews that Dre let him have more freedom with the production on Ventura, following the more tightly produced Oxnard. In a March 2019 interview for Esquire, he said, `[Dre] let me have a lot of leeway on Ventura. He was like, it seems like you got it. I spread my wings on the production and on the writing and on these collaborations`.[4] The album was released on April 12, 2019, just six months after his last full-length album, Oxnard, which Paak wrote and recorded at the same time.[5]

Promotion
The album`s lead single, `King James`, was released on March 15, 2019. The song was produced by Callum and Kiefer.[6][7] The album`s second single, `Make It Better` featuring Smokey Robinson, was released on April 4, 2019. The song was produced by Anderson .Paak, Fredwreck, and The Alchemist.[8][7]
