Anderson .Paak and Smokey Robinson released their “Make It Better” single earlier this year, presenting a smooth duet between the legendary, 79-year-old musician and the acclaimed new-age singer. Now the duo have shared a captivating rendition of the track, taking to the stage at Jimmy Kimmel Live last night for a performance.

The mellow record hails from Anderson .Paak’s latest album, Ventura, which debuted in April. Since the project’s debut, the artist has kept himself busy with the likes of Coachella, the Met Gala and collaborations with YBN Cordae and J. Cole, Flying Lotus and more. Most recently, his band Free Nationals shared an animated video for “Time” featuring Mac Miller and Kali Uchis. Scroll above to watch the live edition of “Make It Better.”

Elsewhere, the artist linked up with Freddie Gibbs and Madlib for the “Giannis” visual in July.
