Music News: Anderson .Paak Named On Time Mag’s100 List

Anderson .Paak has been named Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2026.

In honor of his inclusion in the prestigious list, Natasha Lyonne wrote a short essay about the singer/songwriter, praising the musician as a “magician,” a “legend,” and a “man at the peak of his powers,” adding “You haven’t really heard the Beatles until you’ve heard Anderson .Paak on the piano at 4 a.m., alone, sounding out “The Long and Winding Road.” He’s a magician. A legend. A voice and a tone.” “Andy’s 40th birthday was a night full of love, dancing, and family. “The sum total of a lifetime of talent, a man at the peak of his powers. Laughing with his mom and friends. Top of the world. (sic)”

Commending Anderson for being “humbly aware that he’s the keeper of this endless trove of ideas, songs, and stories,” Lyonne said “His presence is palpable. It’s undeniable.” “He lights up the whole space – cools and relaxes the place, but still on fire. Feels historic.” “Anderson .Paak is the genuine, multihyphenate article. No one like him.” “Funny, unself-conscious, inspired.” “Humbly aware that he’s the keeper of this endless trove of ideas, songs, and stories – including, this year, his directorial debut.” “Each spark tethering to the next, seamlessly flying without a net and yet somehow fully course-corrected.”

The thespian/director said .Paak who she affectionately calls Andy, has a “golden glow” about him, which is a “gift for anyone in his orbit.” “The song said to leave the door open?…?so, you know, pretty sound advice, turns out. Andy’s the whole constellation.”

Co-producing several tracks on the record, and featured on the second tune, ‘Play This Song,’ in 2025, the 40-year old musician collaborated with Mariah Carey on her Here For It All full length.
