Named Silk Sonic by the legendary Bootsy Collins, the enchanting and expressive super duo formed by Multiple GRAMMY Award winners Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak have officially delivered their highly-anticipated collaborative album titled An Evening With Silk Sonic.

Packed with a multitude of vibrant sounds including funk and groove, Silk Sonic have truly set a nostalgic and euphoric tone from start to finish with their debut album. The duo have utilised their undeniable chemistry to execute what can only be described as luxurious funk by combining their signature styles that complement each other on every track.

Prior to the release of the album, Silk Sonic had seen great success in both the summertime sound Skate and debut single Leave the Door Open which earned them 'Best Group' at the 2021 BET Awards. Subsequently this became the group’s first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, spending two non-consecutive weeks at #1 and 18 consecutive weeks in the top 10.

The Track-list stand as:

Silk Sonic Intro
Leave The Door Open
