The seeds of the collaboration that later became An Evening with Silk Sonic were planted in 2017 when Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars toured together on the European leg of the "24K Magic World Tour." One late-night jam session on the road unlocked immediate chemistry. Just before the world slipped into quarantine, Bruno called Anderson and one studio session grew into to a months-long collaboration, culminating in the “setlist of doom.” The legendary Bootsy Collins was christened Silk Sonic and came in as the “special guest host” for An Evening With Silk Sonic, their debut album as a pair. Silk Sonic was finally set free on March 5th, 2021, to rave reviews.
