Anderson .Paak & Knxwledge Make Their Late Night TV Debut As Nxworries with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson-assisted "What More Can I Say?" Performance Video (The Tonight Show)
"Following the release of their debut album
YES LAWD!
in October,
Nxworries
makes their TV debut with a live performance on
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
last night. The duo [performed] their song,
"What More Can I Say?"
off of
backed by a string quartet arranged by
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson
. The performance can be viewed online on
NBC
's website now,"
reads a fragmented chuck of a Wednesday morning press release I received from
Duncan Will
at
Orienteer
(formerly
Liberal Arts
and
Life or Death PR
).
Anderson.Paak & Knxwledge
made their collective late night TV debut on a special
Valentine's Day
episode of
The Tonight Show
alongside
Ice Cube
's
Fist Fight
co-star
Charlie Day
and socialite
. I have to admit,
"What More Can I Say?"
was entirely unlike anything I had ever previously seen on late night TV; playing out more like a live-shot music video than your run-of-the-mill pre-recorded late night performance.
Anderson.Paak
started out sprawled across a living room-esque couch in what very well could have been a pair of pajamas, while an unknown female stomped on stage and swiftly threw a pair of panties (seemingly not hers) onto his chest. She begrudgingly sits down alongside
.Paak
on the couch as
Knxwledge
begins to artfully build
"What More Can I Say?'"
s back-beat on an
MPC
anchored by
similarly-titled 1973
CRA Records
single,
"What More Can I Say?"
backed by a
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson
-helmed string section seated behind the elaborate scene.
Not even a mere minute into
Nxworries'
riveting performance, a second white-knuckled woman (maybe the owner of said panties) rapidly marches her way in and throws a drink right into
Anderson.Paak
's face. He adamantly attempts to sing his way back into their good graces for the remainder of
"What More Can I Say?"
to no avail—until
Knxwledge
rises from his chair, hands each woman a red long-stemmed rose, and saunters off into the distance with both of them!
Anderson.Paak
remains on the couch head in hands, seemingly befuddled, and doesn't even manage to break character, as
Jimmy Fallon
excitedly announces, "YOOOOOOOO,
Nxworries
!
YES LAWD!
is available now," amidst a ripping and roaring crowd.
Knxwledge

Anderson.Paak & The Free Nationals
