Info for An Evening With Silk Sonic

Bruno Mars feierte am Freitag seinen 36. Geburtstag - und machte sich und seinen Fans das schönste Geschenk mit der Ankündigung des kommenden Debütalbums von Silk Sonic, seinem gemeinsamen Projekt mit Anderson. Paak. »An Evening With Silk Sonic« wird am 12. November erscheinen. Das Album wird die zuvor veröffentlichten Hits »Skate« und »Leave The Door Open« enthalten, mit dem Silk Sonic im Frühjahr direkt nach ihrer Gründung Platz 1 der amerikanischen Billboard Single-Charts erobert hatten und in der Folge u. a. als »Best Group« bei den BET Awards 2021 ausgezeichnet wurden.

»Erinnerst du dich an die Idee, die wir damals hatten? Let' s do it .«Bruno Mars und Anderson .Paak kennen und schätzen sich, seit .Paak 2017 Teil der Europatour zu Bruno Mars' letztem Album »24K Magic« war. Bei einer nächtlichen Jamsession während der Tour stimmte die Chemie sofort.

Kurz bevor die Welt in Quarantäne ging, rief Bruno bei Anderson an: » Erinnerst du dich an die Idee, die wir damals hatten? Let's do it. « Aus einer Studiosession wurde eine monatelange Zusammenarbeit, aus der im März 2021 dann das Feel-Good Duo Silk Sonic und eine »Setlist des Verderbens« hervorging. Die Frage der Namensfindung war übrigens durch niemand Geringeren als den legendären Bootsy Collins beantwortet.

Er hob den Namen Silk Sonic aus der Taufe und wo er schon einmal dabei war, ist er auch gleich als »Special Guest Host« bei »An Evening With Silk Sonic« involviert.

Die mehrfachen Grammy-Preisträger Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak haben die erste Single "Leave the Door Open" ihrer neuen Kollaboration Silk Sonic veröffentlicht, die Ende letzter Woche angekündigt und seitdem mit großer Spannung erwartet wurde. Bruno und Anderson haben sich zusammengeschlossen, um eine Setlist zu erschaffen, die alles abfackelt. Den Namen gab ihnen der legendäre Bootsy Collins. "Leave The Door Open" wurde von Mars und D'Mile produziert und von Mars, .Paak, D'Mile und Brody Brown geschrieben.

"Leave the Door Open" ist ab sofort überall erhältlich, ergänzt um einen ganz besonderen Intro-Track mit Special Guest Bootsy Collins. Der Track wird von einem offiziellen Musikvideo begleitet. Das Debütalbum AN EVENING WITH SILK SONIC von Silk Sonic wird noch in diesem Jahr erscheinen.

Bruno Mars
11x time GRAMMY Award winner Bruno Mars is one of the best-selling artists of all time.

DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS marked the landmark debut of a remarkable new artist. The album – which peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 – has gone on to achieve global album equivalent sales of 15.5 million. Now boasting more than 7.8 billion total streams, DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS is certified RIAA 6X platinum, the longest-charting debut album on Top 200 and #4 longest-running of all time.

His most recent album, the critically acclaimed, 3x platinum-certified 24K MAGIC, made an impressive debut atop Billboard’s “Top Digital Albums” and “Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums” charts upon its 2016 arrival. The album includes the 7x platinum-certified, #1 single, “That’s What I Like” – Mars’ seventh “Hot 100” chart-topper and first-ever #1 on the “Hot R&B Songs” chart, affirming him as one of the few artists to have written and produced each of his #1 hits as well as to have a #1 song on the “Hot 100” from each of his first three studio albums.

Mars also holds the world record as the “First Male Artist to Achieve Three 10 Million Selling Singles”, while 2016’s 2x GRAMMY® Award-winning, worldwide #1 collaboration with Mark Ronson, “Uptown Funk,” made history for the “Most Weeks at #1 on the U.S. Digital Song Sales” chart.

Anderson .Paak
After a handful of releases under the name Breezy Lovejoy, singer, rapper, drummer, and producer Anderson .Paak broke through with six songs on Dr. Dre's 2015 album Compton. Born and raised in Oxnard, California, Brandon Paak Anderson's first experience as a musician came as a teenage drummer in a church band. As an adult, he helped manage a marijuana farm in Santa Barbara while working on a debut album, but when he lost his pot job unexpectedly, the recording costs had put him in deep debt. Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra hired him as an assistant, and with access to the Sa-Rastudio, Paak finished his debut album. O.B.E., Vol. 1 landed in 2012 as a Breezy Lovejoy album, but he didn't get to promote the release much as he soon hit the road as drummer for American Idol contestant Haley Reinhart. His 2013 all-covers EP, Cover Art, arrived as the first Anderson .Paak release. A year later he issued Venice, an album featuring production from DJ Nobody, Tokimonsta, and others. In 2015, Paak joined Dr. Dre in the studio and landed on six songs on the legendary producer's third album, Compton. Paak's second proper album, Malibu, was issued in early 2016 with contributions from 9th Wonder, Rapsody, and Kaytranada. It debuted at number nine on the Billboard R&B/hip-hop chart and was followed only nine months later by Yes Lawd!, a full-length recorded with producer Knxwledgeunder the alias NxWorries. Shortly thereafter, Malibu was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Urban Contemporary Album, while Paak himself was up for Best New Artist. Rapsody's Laila's Wisdom, one of several releases on which he made a guest appearance during this period, was nominated the same year for Best Rap Album. As Malibu tracks were licensed to the films Everything, Everything, Pacific Rim Uprising, and Marvel's Iron Fist, Paak made appearances on Chris Dave and the Drumhedz and Black Panther: The Album. In October, 2018 Paak issued the single "Tints," featuring Kendrick Lamar, ahead of the release of the full-length Oxnard, which arrived later that November.

This album contains no booklet.
