The first single, "Leave the Door Open," debuted with an accompanying music video that shows Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak jamming in a recording studio. The video opens with a reel-to-reel tape recorder, setting the tone for a retro studio session. The whole band plays together, capturing the energy of live performance that fans are craving. "Leave the Door Open" will feature on the duo's full-length album, called An Evening With Silk Sonic, arriving later this year.
The release also includes an intro track featuring "master of the universe" Bootsy Collins, whose glowing introduction builds anticipation for the arrival of the band's first album. In addition to "Leave the Door Open", Mars and .Paak have shared a special one-minute intro track featuring funk icon Bootsy Collins. According to a press release, Collins is responsible for giving Mars and .Paak the name Silk Sonic. Both tracks will be released on the duo's upcoming debut album, An Evening with Silk Sonic, set for release later this year. Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have shared their first collaborative song as Silk Sonic after teasing the project last week.
"Leave the Door Open" is the first single from a forthcoming full-length called An Evening With Silk Sonic, and it arrives with a music video and an intro track from the album's "special guest host" Bootsy Collins. On Friday, the band shared its first offerings from forthcoming debut album,An Evening with Silk Sonic. In addition to the silky single "Leave The Door Open" and its stylish live performance video, Silk Sonic released "Silk Sonic Intro", a swirling signature of sorts for the new endeavor.
Here, we're introduced to our "host," funk legendBootsy Collins, who helps set the stage for the project. Four months after the release of their debut hit single, "Leave the Door Open,"Silk Sonic in July dropped their second single from their studio album "Skate" – a groovy track with an upbeat retro music video. Bruno Mars announced the band and the new album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, in late February this year.
He also informed the media that the band was named by Rock and Roll Hall Of Famer Bootsy Collins after he heard their music. So far, the duo has introduced only one song which has managed to win fans' hearts. Leave The Door Open debuted on March 5, 2021, and became a hit with more than 3.8 million streams on Spotify in the same week. The YouTube video of the song has also received more than 305 million views in three months.
They have also performed the single at the Annual Grammys 2021 and the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2021. Back in February the duo announced their debut album An Evening With Silk Sonic, which will feature funk star Bootsy Collins as a "special guest host". Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak (aka California musician/producer Brandon Paak Anderson) have teamed up as Silk Sonic and have shared their debut single together, "Leave the Door Open," via a video for the track. The song will be featured on the duo's forthcoming debut album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, which doesn't have a release date yet. You can imagine many a baby being conceived to the retro-sounding track. Silk Sonic's debut album features Parliament-Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins as a "special guest host," and the full album's release date has yet to be announced.
The album will be Mars' first release since 2016's award-winning 24K Magic, and .Paak's first album since 2019's Ventura. Both Mars and .Paak are known for their lowrider-mellow, throwback sonic sensibilities, so this is a match made in heaven. Fast friends, a studio collaboration was an organic next step for the artists when they returned home. Each credits the other for the newfangled soundscape that defines Silk Sonic as a band. Together, with Collins as a "special guest host," the artists established a dynamic retrospective nod.
It's reminiscent of shared early influences, yet their melded approach promotes an unprecedented sonic blend. The forthcoming album, An Evening with Silk Sonic, attempts to foster the experience of a live performance that is accessible in a studio album. Given the album art, the guest feature of Bootsy Collins, and the past discography of the two creators, An Evening with Silk Sonic is sure to be a funky R&B album full of soul. In my opinion, we are due for a good get-down, modern-funk album, and who better to make one than these three artists combined. Accompanied by a one-minute intro with Bootsy Collins and a gorgeous 70s-inspired music video, "Leave The Door Open" exemplifies the duo's name to a T. The vocals and musical stylings of Mars and .Paak perfectly complement one another, swirling up and around listeners to envelop them in the sparkling world their smooth sound creates.
The ideal track to kick off a brand new project, "Leave The Door Open" indicates the ethereal world of Silk Sonic may grow even more captivating with the release of the full album later this year. Bootsy Collins is the one who apparently coined the Silk Sonic name and he appears on the album as its "special guest host." In addition to "Leave The Door Open," Mars and .Paak are releasing a special intro track that features Collins. Silk Sonic is due to release their debut album An Evening With Silk Sonic, but the pair have yet to announce an official release date or track list.
Along with "Leave the Door Open," they released the album's intro hosted by Bootsy Collins. They have performed their hit single at both the Grammy Awards and 2020 iHeartRadio Music Awards. "First song drops next Friday 3/5." The project will feature Bootsy Collins as a "special guest host." Paak also shared the news on Instagram. The latter affirmed they were inspired by the 1960s, 1970s, and "the old school", according to Mars, they reunited in the studio during the night, drink and play music they enjoy. The duo "bonded over their love of classic soul" and would usually play each other songs they loved.
In February, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak announced they would be joining forces to form a new band, Silk Sonic.

The album and its lead single would be promoted once more at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, and again at the BET Awards 2021.

This includes a fake Twitter beef where they briefly broke up and chose to reunite right before their Grammys performance. Along with the band's catchy lead single, fans can also get excited for the release of their debut album An Evening with Silk Sonic, which is narrated by the legendary Bootsy Collins.

For his part, .Paak has won four trophies among his seven nominations. This year his track "Homegrown" won for melodic rap performance but came up short the music video category. In 2017, he earned a best new artist nomination but lost to Dua Lipa.
Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have shared their first song under their Silk Sonic banner. The duo first announced plans for their joint project last week and have returned seven days later with "Leave The Door Open." Check out the video below. This project, although coming seemingly out of the blue in the eyes of many fans, has been in the works since their tour together in 2017. Both .Paak and Mars utilized their many musical talents as well as their friendship to create the passion project that is Silk Sonic. For example, on "Leave the Door Open," Anderson .Paak recorded the drum track in one take. The production of the track is incredible and it can only make you wonder what the two have in store for us with the release of their full album.
The group's debut album has a name, "An Evening With Silk Sonic," and was originally slated for the fall, but the band announced that it would be pushed back to January 2022. The legendary Bootsy Collins came up with the name Silk Sonic and is featured on the album. Silk Sonic has also shared an intro track for the new song featuring Collins.

"We're really in touch-up mode now. We've got the bones of most of the album, so it's really about touching up parts that need a little more . . . grease." BET Awards 2021 saw brand new talent with the latest dynamic duo, Bruno Mars and Anderson. The newly formed group didn't just leave with an award but also entertained the audience with a special performance to their hit single Leave The Door Open. Not only this, the duo surprised everyone by teasing some new music.
Fans are excited for this new collaboration and have since shared the excitement all across social media. Many have been outspoken about wanting progression with the COVID-19 vaccinations in time for an enjoyable summer full of great music. While calling in to SiriusXM Hits 1's "The Morning Mash Up," the new dynamic duo shared what fans can expect from their collaborative album.
The track has amassed more than 230 million streams, with 21.5 million coming in this week, which was more than enough to give .Paak his first No. 1 single of his career. It was also his first single to debut on the Hot 100 when the song premiered at No. 2 in March. Silk Sonic's debut album, which features the great bassist Bootsy Collins, is expected to arrive sometime this year, though a release date has yet to be set. Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak's R&B superduoSilk Sonic won't be dropping their debut album until January 2022, the artists revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone. "We locked in and made an album" — Retro r&b giant Bruno Mars and rapper/singer/iconic polymath Anderson .Paak announced new collaborative project Silk Sonic Feb. 25. As satisfying as the song's audio is, the music video has an equally smooth and easily enjoyable appeal.
Successfully capturing the throwback aesthetic, it depicts a 1970s studio session. The funkiness of their first single combined with the sultry nature of the lyrics creates an amazing sound. Both artists have their comedic sides too, and there is certainly a sense of sarcasm or even parody within Silk Sonic, especially in their aesthetic choices. Their orange suits and cheesy dancing during their Grammy performance solidified that. Even within the lead single, lines like "Just shaved, smooth like a newborn" add a little bit of humor to a legitimately good song. Yet, having not come out with a studio album since 24k Magic in 2016, many have been wondering what the next step in Mars's career might be.
Nevertheless, in February 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic, Mars was listening to what they had recorded, and "it hit the right chord" so he called .Paak to join him in the studio. However, it was the latter's birthday and despite being drunk, he met Mars at the studio. When they started to write a song, "a competitive" and a friendly spirit, emerged as they were trying to improve on the work. They enjoyed so much working together, the duo decided to keep going. "Leave the Door Open," Mars's latest collaborative tune with Anderson .Paak, is a complete throwback to the time of Bobby Womack and Curtis Mayfield. As the supergroup Silk Sonic, the pair have gone full '70s soul, and "Door" is characterized by its soft piano and smooth vocals, elements they brought to life on the Grammys stage Sunday night .
During the 1970s, the funk musician rose to fame after working with soul artist, James Brown, with the bands, The Pacemakers and J.B., with his brother Phelp "Catfish "Combs. He went on to create solo albums, like Sweatband, and record songs with legends such as Herbie Hancock, Fatboy Slim, and Snoop Dogg. This, by the way, is only the second single from Silk Sonic, who have teased their album,An Evening with Silk Sonic,for the better part of this year and have yet to release it. Mars had been teasing for some time that Friday would be the duo's "Summertime Jam." Now if only that meant a whole show. Directly beside him is the always smiling, forever fly Anderson .Paak, who's crafted an easily detectable style of playing as one of the last surviving relics of soul's old guard.
Frequently accompanied by the funky Free Nationals, The Oxnard-bred vocalist, rapper, drummer with the best teeth in the game has dropped four tantalizing studio albums under this moniker. Each release has been a visionary effort inspired by the spirit of coastal California and made unique by his virtuoso as an artist who can croon angelic harmonies and spit with the bite of a '90s west coast emcee. Though he's already achieved massive popularity, with this collaboration, .Paak will certainly achieve global superstardom.
