Silk Sonic is an R&B/soul and funk super-duo, consisting of American singer-songwriters Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak.

In late February 2021, the duo announced their debut album under this banner, titled An Evening With Silk Sonic, which was previewed by three singles, “Leave The Door Open” (released on March 5), “Skate” (on July 30), and “Smokin' Out The Window” (on November 5).

The album was eventually released on November 12, 2021 and represented the creative peak of the artists' collaboration: in fact, while .Paak was opening for Bruno on the European leg of his 24K Magic Tour in 2017, the two started developing what would become Silk Sonic’s debut album.

While Silk Sonic represents Bruno Mars' first proper collaborative project, Paak had previously collaborated with producer Knxwledge under the banner NxWorries.
