Anderson .Paak and Cordae release “A Good Day,” the first single from their co-headline collaborative album Heavy Is the Crown. The song is described across outlets as feel-good and soul-leaning, built around a sample from Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day,” and featuring Anderson .Paak and Cordae trading verses over live-sounding drum grooves and upbeat production.
Both sources tie the release to the upcoming album’s rollout and present it as a reunion of sorts for their long-running partnership. Stereogum adds that the artists have collaborated for years, including when Cordae was known as YBN Cordae, and notes the single’s music video is directed by OG Dave Meyers, with a Friday homage starring Jennifer Freeman. Inquirer.net likewise frames the track as uplifting and highlights its humor and lyrical interplay, while providing release details and platform links for streaming and the video.
