Silk Sonic Members
Silk Sonic is an American R&B super duo composed of singer Bruno Mars and rapper and singer Anderson Paak.
The duo released their debut single, “Leave the Door Open”, in March 2021. They later released “Skate” in July 2021, followed by their debut album, An Evening with Silk Sonic, and their third single “Smokin’ Out the Window” in November 2021.
The album peaked at number two on the Billboard 200, while the three singles released all reached the top twenty on the Billboard Hot 100, with “Leave the Door Open” spending 18 weeks in the top ten and two non-consecutive weeks at the top spot.
Silk Sonic’s musical style has been described as R&B, soul, funk, pop, smooth soul, and funk-pop.
Its sound has also been described as disco-inspired. Of An Evening with Silk Sonic’s sound, The Ringer wrote, “though styled like the 1960s to ’70s retro endeavor, Silk Sonic isn’t a work of nostalgia but rather a fusion: funk, rap, and R&B as they’ve sounded in heavy rotation as recently as the 2000s.”
Sputnikmusic called the album “rich and authentic, existing at the irresistible intersection between 70s funk nostalgia and the luxuries of a modern-day studio.
As a result, An Evening With Silk Sonic lives up to its billing as a true experience: it’s sexy, ever-so-smooth, and radiates confidence and charisma.”
