Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak: ‘An Evening With Silk Sonic’ Interview | Apple Music

Ebro Darden sits down in the studio with Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak to discuss their album, ‘An Evening With Silk Sonic.’ The stars aligned for these two R&B powerhouses when they began working in the studio together. Anderson .Paak’s underground roots and musical prowess blended perfectly with Bruno Mars’ gifts in songwriting and producing, and with the help of legends like Bootsy Collins, D’Mille, and Baby Face, they created something they hope will “last forever.” The duo breaks down the inspirations behind tracks like “Skate,” “Put On A Smile,” and “Leave The Door Open,” and share their excitement to get back on stage and feel this music alongside the audience once again.

I hope they do a tiny desk. This studio would be ideal for a home concert with the whole aesthetic.

[@johnwaters5675]

Yes, definitely agree with that! It’s also really doable as well, providing they’re game to do it - you’d only need 4 people; Bruno on vocals and guitar, Anderson on vocals and drums, Thundercat on bass (and vocals if 3-part harmony was required) and Anderson’s main keys player (don’t know the guy’s name but he’s great) doing keys. That would be an awesome Tiny Desk!!

You guys don't know how "LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN" moved me. The power of that old harmony coming to life in Anderson Paak and Bruno Mars when you sang "tell me that you're coming through" I burst into tears. I'm 63 yrs. old and was a singer/performer who sang from his heart in my 20's 30's and 40's. I'm from Indianapolis and I enjoyed singing at weddings and special events, also , funerals being a Christian man. Grown men would be in tears during some of my appearances at weddings and funerals. This happened only because they could hear the heart felt emotion coming out in my GOD GIVEN talent. I thought I would never hear that again . And when you guys collaborated on LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN, I couldn't stop crying. YOU GUYS KILLED IT. I haven't heard that type of harmony and soul and passion, in years. I felt like I just fell in love again. I'm tearing up again so I better stop. BRUNO I LOVE YOU, ANDERSON I LOVE YOU. GO DO IT AGAIN!!

This album did the impossible. Hear me out. I have a drum student (I have many, but this one in particular), he’s never particularly enthused about much: life, drumming, music. We’ve been working on Fly As Me. I often play together with my students & to get in the mood of a performance I turn off the lights, turn on the stage lights to create an atmosphere. We’re playing it and I look over and his shoulder’s are moving, his head is bobbing, he IS GROOVING OUT to this amazing tune. I’ve NEVER seen him get into anything before. My god, this album has restored my faith in humanity. I wish Spotify would give Mars & Paak $100m to make another instead of, you know. Best album I’ve heard in ages.

Now that's a man's man. No insecurities. I fks with you now Bruno 100%.

Still waiting on that Christmas album

[@sylviagreenburg7679]

Two real brothers. Real brothers. Spent the day just crackin' jokes and laughing! Stay brothers always. You two together are solid platinum!

[@millennialauntiejess7177]

They put their souls into each track. They created this out of nothing but love and care and I am so grateful for this treat

[@Trish-x1l]

I love you so very much Bruno Mars ❤

[@benbone2559]

Silk Sonic is currently the best band in the world. This is their moment. Hopefully, they are vanguards of an wider R&B revival movement, but if this album is all that comes of this collaboration that's more than enough.

Remember the day i saw an article about Silk Sonic being formed. And now we're all here gathered to enjoy these masterpieces from them. Enjoy y'all! This ain't just an album. This a event!

[@Eastpointe]

They are literally saving mainstream music with their stellar music!😊

The album is fantastic. Music for the soul that spans generations. Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have created a masterpiece!
