Description

An Evening with Silk Sonic is the debut studio album by American musical super-duo Silk Sonic, composed of Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak. It was released on November 12, 2021, by Aftermath Entertainment and Atlantic Records. Silk Sonic reunited with Christopher Brody Brown and James Fauntleroy to write the album. They recruited American musician Bootsy Collins, who came up with the name for Mars and Paak's duo, for narration, and American record producer D'Mile to compose the album. Recording sessions for An Evening with Silk Sonic took place from early 2020 to mid-2021 at Shampoo Press & Curl Studios. Several critics said An Evening with Silk Sonic was crafted from elements of R&B, soul, funk, hip-hop, and pop music. The lyrics of An Evening with Silk Sonic explore themes featured in previous Mars albums, such as "seduction, romance", reconciliation, and materialism. Anderson.Paak is said to not have written about materialism previously. An Evening with Silk Sonic debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 104,000 equivalent album units and became Mars's second and .Paak's first number-one album on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. It also peaked in the top five in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand, and produced five singles: "Leave the Door Open" and "Smokin out the Window", which were commercially successful, while "Skate" charted moderately in various countries. Two other singles "Love's Train", a cover of Con Funk Shun's song, and "After Last Night" were made available for consumption in 2022, with each one of them having minor commercial success. "Leave the Door Open" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and in New Zealand, becoming Mars's eighth and .Paak's first number-one song in the United States. The album was certified gold by Music Canada (MC) and platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). An Evening with Silk Sonic received universal acclaim, and is the most acclaimed studio album of Mars' career, with reviewers praising its retro sensibility and the chemistry between Mars and .Paak. At the 64th Grammy Awards in 2022, "Leave The Door Open" won four Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance and Best R&B song. Several publications listed the album as one of the best records of the year and Billboard named it as the seventh-best album of 2021. The album was also promoted via An Evening with Silk Sonic at Park MGM (2022), along with a number of performances at various award shows.

Awesome selection. I ordered in a couple records that they didn’t have at their store so they ordered them in for me. They were super communicative and accommodating. It took a little longer than i’d hoped but after they were unable to locate one of the records I ordered they refunded me and sent the other two. Once sent, the shipping was fast and package was in pristine condition. Thanks Funky Moose Records

After a couple of mishaps Mark and his team rose to the occasion and did all that they could for me. I’ve been supporting Funky Moose for a couple of years now and will continue to do so. All I would suggest is for an increased level of communication when an order is taking longer than anticipated to fulfill. As long as I know I’m not forgotten about, it’s all good. I have time. With thanks to Funky Moose, it’s now time to go spin the latest addition.

Mark and his team do an exceptional job of ensuring things go smoothly. Funky Moose Records has a large assortment of music in a number of genres. Their site is easy to navigate, the condition of each record is clearly stated so no surprises, and customer service is the best I've come across in years. They answer emails very quickly and if it's not right, they make it right. Shop with confidence here. Thanks Funky Moose :)
