I AM WITNESSING HISTORY. First Reaction to Silk Sonic - "An Evening with Silk Sonic"

*Fantano be like* : “This is a once lifetime in a masterpiece. Everything from the production to the vocals is impeccable. Quite honestly one of the best pieces of music in this decade yet and it will likely be a pioneer for the future of music. Light to decent 7” EDIT: I called it

[@rovko819]

nah more like decent to strong 9 to edge the 10 predictors

[@rashotcake6945]

it’s really good but pioneer? this isn’t doing anything radically new. It’s soul nostalgia, just executed super super well

[@farhannr28]

Im sure he gonna give an 8 to a 9

[@Enzo-si1it]

I think it’s gonna be a strong 7/light 8

[@aesthetic4829]

Honestly this album is growing to be a 10 in my eyes, I don’t care what anyone or fantano says, he got his opinion but I love this album so much

[@ringer1324]

I do too kind of but at the same time, all the singles still hit in the context of the album. They're such good songs that I don't care that I've played them a lot before the album.

[@royfablooo2810]

Fly As Me is my favourite it's so Late 60's to Early 70's and that riff is damn funky. And I swear if Fantano give this a light 7/10 I'll be lossing my mind.

[@Tarun-zf5ep]

why do people care so much about that guy, just enjoy the music man

[@YouDontWannaFightMe]

Same here! I’m such a sucker for a good bass riff and that song’s got the best one on the album.

he'll prolly give it a 9

Didn’t like that they released 3 singles, but loved the entire album so not too mad about it. Atleast they didn’t pull a Joyner and release the album single by single

[@thinkishouldsleep]

that’s what gorillaz did and it worked

[@mocapcow2933]

@@thinkishouldsleep it made sense for them, people kinda knew that would happen. I guess it’s more on how it’s marketed. Joyner didn’t do it good, Silk Sonic did it good enough, Gorillaz did it great.

[@treefingers6572]

Ok... Bootsie "someone, idk"... Brad... I'm gonna save the elitism about YOU DON'T KNOW BOOTSIE COLLINS and all that and just say look him up if you got a kick out of this.

[@Oxbayer]

Bruh on the cover of the highly anticipated Silk Sonic LP, biggest album of both Bruno’s and Anderson’s careers, there’s a host credit on the front for Bootsy and dude is like “wha, hoo???”

[@feltchman]

Ya /brad if you love this album, Bootsy Collins' whole career is making stuff like this

[@trillian777]

Long story but one time I was listening to a podcast with two dudes analyzing Outkast's entire career and one of them didn't know Rosa Parks was a real person. Not exactly the same, but similar "you're missing essential context and it just got weird, sir" energy. For me.

[@treefingers6572]

@@trillian777 yeah that's kind of "you don't even understand the full point of this kind of music if that aspect doesn't even occur to or register with you". That's pretty bad, Brad not knowing Bootsie is totally forgivable compared to that bizarreness.

[@LaughterCigar]

I mean, he just said in the title that he "just witnessed history" listening to this album, so I'm not surprised he doesn't know who Bootsy Collins is. Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic album, it's really well written, performed and produced, but it's the farthest thing from "history making". In fact its biggest selling point is that they're accurately impersonating a sound and aesthetic that's many decades old, so not really inventing anything. His whole reaction feels like he's never really listened to soul music before, so as I said, I'm not surprised that he doesn't know nor cares who Bootsy is.

i was initially skeptical of this whole thing but yeah you put it so well. it doesnt feel like bruno mars and anderson paak doing their individual things on the same songs, it really does feel like the stars aligned, and we got silk sonic

[@zanohoriamazo1]

Yo, your reaction is great because it’s real & genuine. That said, ‘Bootsy whatever’ smacks of a reckless irreverence typical of a certain generation or type of music fan, as if to say, who they don’t know don’t matter. In this case, thas almost blasphemous my man. Bootsy Collins is not only the host narrator of this album project, but he’s a legendary bassist in soul & r&b, one of the main players in the development of funk bass playing going back to James Brown, & through Parliament Funkadelic & Bootsy’s Rubberband. He also happens to be the one who named the band, Silk Sonic, which he states on the 1st cut, Intro.

In short, Bootsy Collins is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, inducted in 1997 with 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. In 2020, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Collins number 4 in its list of the 50 greatest bassists of all time.
