  • 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.

      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!!

    I'm a bigger fan of Anderson by a small percentage, but my respect for Bruno just went up in orders of magnitude. Interviewer was leaning more towards Anderson because he was partial to Anderson as an artist (he mentions early in the interview), but Bruno was so gracious and humble, he didn't even seem threatened by it. Now that's a man's man. No insecurities. I fks with you now Bruno 100%.

    I feel like I'd been missing out on the effort and worries that go along with creating something like this. Hearing Bruno Mars talk about how he was afraid he'd mess something up really puts it in perspective. These guys are pouring their heart and soul into their harmonies and it makes you appreciate it all the more. Definitely already snagged the album and yes it's on repeat. Thank you Anderson and Bruno for allowing us to enjoy this experience along with you.

      The crazy thing most people don't realize is the music from the album as a whole will have a shot at the next two Grammy's. "Leave the Door Open" (which will surely get a nomination) and "Skate" were released before the cutoff date for the 2022 Grammy's, which means "Smokin Out The Window" and the album will be eligible for the 2023 Grammy's

    Ebro is the first person, from YT comments, reactions, interviews, etc. I've seen, who seems to understand the flow of this album. The arc of the story we travel with Silk Sonic throughout the album; the highs, to the lows, to back to the highs.
    This is the first album in a long, long time to make me really feel something. Even when we get to the end, "Blast Off", I have tears in my eyes. It's such a sonically perfect representation of that 70's Philly soul sound that I think we've been waiting for. It's no wonder Bootsy named them Silk Sonic. This album is just as Bruno mentioned, a warm, intimate, rooftop hug of musical love; something that's been sorely missing from music lately.
    Every single song hits the mood it needs to, absolutely perfectly. 10/10.

  • @benbone2559
    @benbone2559 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    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.

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.
