R&B Duo Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars and Anderson . Paak) released their debut album on Nov.12 called An Evening With Silk Sonic. The album has eight songs, an introduction to the new album, and eight songs to accompany the introduction, the album release just comes months after the duo’s debut single “Leave the Door Open”.

According to music site Pitchfork, “Bruno Mars has assigned himself a more challenging project: Silk Sonic a fidelity-obsessed act in which he and onetime tourmate Anderson .Paak, recreate the rhythm and blues of the ’70s. The duo sought out particular drum skins to better replicate the sounds of the studio during the heyday of Gamble and Huff when those songwriter-producers polished soul music to an extravagant sheen.”

What this means is that the duo has put a modern twist on the R&B from the 1970s, and the duo is trying to appeal to the modern generation by bringing in new sounds. This album is a part of a new sound that is coming to the new generation of listeners from two modern music stars.
