The Painter

Paul Anka

Polished 1970s soft rock with a West Coast sheen. Anka trades his traditional crooning for lush, analog studio pop and sophisticated orchestral arrangements.

It's Paul Anka doing the 70s California thing with a Warhol cover to boot.

A sophisticated, sun-drenched nostalgia that feels both expensive and deeply personal.
