In addition to teasing his forthcoming Oxnard LP, Anderson .Paak has been hinting at a new full-length from his live band, the Free Nationals. Now, the group has enlisted Daniel Caesar and Unknown Mortal Orchestra for a new single.

Titled "Beauty & Essex," the slow-burning slice of soul can be heard in the player below. The song arrives following .Paak's recent share of solo single "Tints," which features Kendrick Lamar.

The Free Nationals are guitarist Jose Rios, keyboardist Ron Tnava Avant, bassist Kelsey Gonzales and drummer Callum Connor. 

Unknown Mortal Orchestra delivered their Sex & Food LP earlier this year. They'll release an instrumental LP titled IC-01 Hanoi later this month.

Earlier this year, Daniel Caesar's Freudian was shortlisted for this year's Polaris Music Prize.
