Over eight months after we were gifted with Silk Sonic’s debut single “Leave the Door Open”, the duo’s first album – An evening with Silk Sonic — has come.
The nine-track project, hosted by funk legend Bootsy Collins as a guest, includes the two-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Leave the Door Open” as well as the previously released “Skate” and “Smokin Out the Window”. “
Silk Sonic consists of solo stars Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, who met each other in 2017 during a tour through Europe on Mars’ 24K Magic World Tour. Mars told Apple Music in March that one of the songs on the album traced back to a phrase he came up with on the tour that quickly turned into a hook that “snowed” into seriously intense studio sessions. “It was like, ‘Well, do you want to come back tomorrow?'” Mars said. “And we kept coming up with music. It felt like falling in love with music in the first place. And jamming with your buddy … There’s no plan to just work the parts out and try to inspire each other … so this wouldn’t happen if it didn’t make sense and it didn’t feel natural and organic. This was a series of events that led us to wonder, ‘man, why don’t we just do it’. “
