Silk Sonic is an American R&B super-duo formed by multi-talented artists Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. The collaboration was officially launched in 2021, bringing together Mars's retro showmanship and .Paak's soulful groove, which quickly created a buzz for their nostalgic and polished sound. Their debut single "Leave the Door Open" was an instant success, leading to widespread acclaim and anticipation for their first album.

Their debut album, "An Evening With Silk Sonic," released in late 2021, serves as a time capsule that harks back to the 1970s era of soul and funk music, draped in smooth harmonies and sensual rhythms. The creativity behind the project drew inspiration from the classic acts that dominated the period, with the aim to offer a fresh, yet vintage sound to contemporary audiences. The project not only showcases the dynamic chemistry between the two artists but also features contributions from legendary bassist Bootsy Collins, who acts as the "special guest host" for the album. With a record steeped in musical nostalgia, hits like "Leave The Door Open," and its live version, together with their follow-up single "Love's Train," Silk Sonic has successfully resonated with both new listeners and longtime fans of traditional soul and funk music.
