In 2017, Anderson .Paak was the opening act for Bruno Mars on the European leg of the 24K Magic World Tour. [1] In April, Mars and .Paak worked together at Abbey Road Studios in London with Nile Rodgers and Guy Lawrence for Chic's album It's About Time , and worked on music while on tour that appeared on Paak's album Ventura . [2] [3] The duo was formed in 2017 by Mars and .Paak "as a joke the two friends hatched on the road". [4]

On February 26, 2021, Mars announced that he and .Paak had formed a band, saying, "[Silk Sonic] locked in and made an album." [5] In a press release, they said Bootsy Collins named the band after he heard the album. [6] "Leave the Door Open", the band's debut album's lead single, was released on March 5, along with the intro song, hosted by Collins. [7] The band made its television debut at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards performing the single, alongside a tribute to Little Richard consisting of "Long Tall Sally" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly". [8]

"Leave the Door Open" was performed again at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, with a similar aesthetic. [9] The duo won Best Group at the BET Awards 2021. [10] At the same ceremony, it performed "Leave the Door Open" again, alongside teasers of its forthcoming releases. [11]

On July 28, Mars announced that Silk Sonic would host a "Summertime Jam" two days later. [12] This event turned out to mark the release of another single, "Skate", which was released on July 30 alongside an accompanying video. [13]

In October, the band announced that the album's release had been pushed ahead to November 12. [14]

On November 5, Silk Sonic released its third single, "Smokin out the Window", a week before the album's launch. [15] [16] On November 12, An Evening with Silk Sonic was released. [15] On November 21, "Smokin' Out the Window" was performed as the opening act of the American Music Awards of 2021, [17] [18] where the duo also won Favorite Song – R&B. [19]

On January 19, 2022, it was announced that the duo would host a residency concert series at the Park MGM in Las Vegas. [20] On February 3, they were announced to also make an appearance in Fortnite . [21] [22] On February 14, the duo released a cover of Con Funk Shun's "Love's Train", which was later released as single in Italy, making it the group's fourth single. [23] On April 21, 2022, Billboard reported that "Love's Train" was the album's fourth single, with no official date of release in the United States. [24] [25] "After Last Night" was released as the next single on July 5, 2022. [26]

Musical style

Silk Sonic's musical style has been described as R&B, [17] [27] [28] [29] soul, [30] [31] [32] funk, [30] [33] pop, [34] [33] hip hop, [30] and smooth soul. [35] Its sound has also been described as disco-inspired. [36] Of An Evening with Silk Sonic's sound, The Ringer wrote, "though styled as a 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." [34] 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." [37]
