Aka Silk Sonic, Bruno Mars and Anderson. Paak’s debut alter ego album, An Evening With Silk Sonic is scheduled to drop on November 12th.
The LP announcement arrived on Mars’ birthday, with .Paak taking to Twitter to post a picture of the pair alongside funk guitar legend Bootsy Collins (who serves as the album’s “special guest host”) along with the caption, “ALBUM DROPS NOVEMBER 12!! Now spam the comments with happy birthday wishes to my brother @BrunoMars.”
Though the complete track listing for An Evening With Silk Sonic has yet to be released, the record will include previously released hit singles, “Skate” and “Leave the Door Open.”
In a recent Rolling Stone cover story, Mars and .Paak dove deep into the creation of An Evening With Silk Sonic, complete with using era-appropriate equipment in order to boost their Sixties and Seventies soul and funk feel. “I don’t know what year it is,” Mars said. “I’m not looking at the charts. So we’d just come here every night, have a drink, and we play what we love.”
