Bruno looks so happy and carefree in this interview. I have only watched one interview (so far) prior to this interview with Silk Sonic and it appeared Bruno had put a lost of pressure on himself after the "24K Magic" era. I've always known he was quite the perfectionist (I appreciate it because he puts out amazing music), but it seemed to be an intense interview and I felt bad Bruno is so hard on himself. Kudo's to Zane Lowe for this amazing and fun interview. I, of course, do not want to leave out the phenomenal other half of Silk Sonic, Anderson .Paak! I love how Zane Lowe gave equal attention to both these amazingly talented men. Bravo.
