Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars' An Evening with Silk Sonic is available to purchase on vinyl on Complex.
Released in 2021, An Evening with Silk Sonic marked the debut project from the duo's collaborative venture, Silk Sonic, blending Mars' pop sensibilities with .Paak's hip-hop and R&B roots. The album was born from their 2017 connection on the 24K Magic World Tour, where the two artists discovered a chemistry that went beyond just sharing a stage.
The project swept the 2022 Grammys, with lead single "Leave the Door Open" winning both Record and Song of the Year. The album's nine tracks clock in at just over 30 minutes, a deliberate choice that keeps the experience tight and focused. From "777" to "Smokin' Out the Window," every song serves the larger vision of a '70s-inspired funk and soul revival filtered through a modern lens. Funk legend Bootsy Collins narrates the album, a touch that connects the project to its musical lineage while Mars and .Paak chart their own path forward.
