Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak recently released “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” their debut album, and are now making the rounds.
Supergroup Silk Sonic, whose sound is inspired by the soul music of the 1970s, gave a rousing performance during Sunday night’s airing of the 2021 Soul Train Awards.
The duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, performed “Fly as Me” early in the broadcast and returned later to perform “Smokin Out the Window.”
During “Fly as Me,” they donned white jackets and black pants, adding seductive choreography to their performance in front of an audience of ’70s-inspired dancers.
The set — which recreated the iconic Soul Train television show surroundings — even featured the memorable jumble board. Vulture reports that it’s been previously duplicated for the first Charlie’s Angels movie, as well as the video for “Walk It, Talk It,” by Migos featuring Drake.
Mars and .Paak released their debut album An Evening with Silk Sonic earlier this month. They are making the rounds on the awards-show circuit, having performed at The American Music Awards last week.
Silk Sonic evolved as a group after .Paak opened for Mars on the European leg of his 24K Magic World Tour. According to Rolling Stone, the two friends formed the group as a joke on the road. After the success of their first single, “Leave the Door Open,” they began to take things a little more seriously.
