Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic: Leave the Door Open
The new project from Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak is called Silk Sonic, and they couldn’t have picked a better name. The music is smooth as hell, recalling the vibes of ’70s soul and R&B acts like The Delfonics and the Stylistics.
Their debut single is the ultimately catchy “Leave The Door Open,” which features some slick bass work of Brody Brown. The multi-instrumentalist, also known for his work in 1500 or Nothin’, lays down the foundation and fits in some nice melodic fills to push the groove along.
Silk Sonic’s debut album has a TBD release date, but until then I’ll be listening to this on repeat.
Too much candy…
Mr. Brown is a great bassist. He is very tasteful with his fills. The one at the 1:55 (ish) mark is totally hip!
Just great – great musicianship and a great sense of humour!
