I have quite an affinity for the ’70s. The music, the clothes . . . it’s my decade. And, I have a feeling that Silk Sonic made up of Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak may have a love for it too, based on their new song “Leave the Door Open”, released this week.

The single gives us all the ‘70s vibes we need to navigate through what has now been a full year of the panny. With vibes unmatched the song is produced by Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II and Bruno Mars and written by Bruno, Anderson, D’Mile, and Brody Brown. The song includes an abundance of live instruments, which is ALWAYS a plus, and includes Anderson on drums and Bruno on guitar and congas. The song is fun and light-hearted as they serenade and entice a lady friend to come through. I’m pretty sure that this song and the subsequent album are going to be responsible for the next round of panoramic (the pandemic if you didn’t know) babies.

Bootsy Collins who also christened the duo Silk Sonic will be our host for the album, AN EVENING WITH SILK SONIC, and will be released later this year. Anything with Bootsy’s blessing is definitely guaranteed to be a fun trip. Along with “Leave the Door Open” Anderson and Bruno also released “Silk Sonic Intro” featuring Bootsy.

“Leave the Door Open” and the “Silk Sonic Intro” are available on all platforms. Check out the video below!

Why has no one told me that Bruno Mars’ 24K Magic was the 80’s/90’s album of my dreams?!?! It is all the James Brown inspired, Guy, Teddy Riley, Color Me Badd, that I could hope for. And, as an “Isha” “Calling All My Lovelies” is now my official anthem, too!
24K Magic is just the album we need right now in the world’s current state, because music is supposed to take you somewhere and this album definitely has the ability to take you to a happy place, take the edge off, and give you a reason to dance.
The lead single “24K Magic” sets the tone for an album that is sure to be the album of the summer. And, I love any song that gives a shout out to Jesus, with the lyric “Way too fresh, got to blame it on Jesus. Hashtag blessed!”
“That’s What I Like” is also a stand-out and if you caught the 2017 Grammy’s you can see why pretty much every woman in the audience looked like she was ready to risk it all for Bruno!
By the way, you’ll get a chance to see Bruno Mars on the road this summer for The 24K Magic World Tour, which kicks off July 15 in Las Vegas! You can check out more tour dates here. In the meantime, get into the album and get ready to dance the night away at a show near you, or if you're fancy a plane ride away!
