Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak shared their first collaborative song as Silk Sonic after teasing the project last week. “Leave the door open” is the first single from a forthcoming full-length called An Evening With Silk Sonic, and it comes with a music video and an intro track from the album “special host” Bootsy Collins. See below.
“Leave the Door Open” was produced by Bruno Mars and D’Mile; it was written by Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, D’Mile and Brody Brown. A press release notes that the duo by Bootsy Collins is named Silk Sonic. An Evening With Silk Sonic is available later this year, but currently has no release date.
Bruno Mars’ most recent solo album was in 2016 24K magic, with Anderson .Paak’s Ventura the arrival in 2019. Between these two records, the couple toured together in 2017 and apparently worked with Nile Rodgers on new material and Disclosure at Abbey Road.
