Anderson .Paak was the musical guest on today's episode of Ellen. Fresh off the release of his fourth album Ventura, which dropped earlier this month, .Paak chose to perform "Make It Better," which features vocals from the legendary Smokey Robinson on the recorded version. Robinson didn't attend the Ellen taping, but .Paak brought a mighty band and backup singers in his stead. At the end of the performance, he also gifted Ellen with a yellow durag.
Later this month, .Paak will embark on a headlining tour with Thundercat, Noname, Mac DeMarco, Earl Sweatshirt and Jessie Reyez. Watch him perform "Make It Better" above, and peep all the tour dates below.
