Released on May 8, 2026, “Aftertaste” is a smooth, groovy R&B track that perfectly blends Dean’s signature silky, emotional tone with Anderson .Paak’s funky, laid-back swag.
The song has a rich, nostalgic 70s-inspired soul feel mixed with modern West Coast vibes — warm basslines, crisp drums, and a catchy, repeating hook that lingers just like the song’s title. Dean delivers his signature emotional, slightly melancholic verses, while Anderson .Paak brings playful energy and his signature rhythmic flow, creating an addictive push-and-pull chemistry between the two artists.
The track feels like a late-night drive with someone you can’t quite get over — bittersweet, stylish, and undeniably cool. It’s a long-awaited reunion between the two (their first collab since 2016), and it definitely delivers.
A standout collaboration that feels fresh yet familiar at the same time.
