Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have delayed the release of Silk Sonic’s debut album An Evening with Silk Sonic. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the pair revealed that the record’s original fall of 2021 release date has now been pushed to January 2022.
According to Mars, the delay will allow the duo to put some extra work into the songs. “We’re really in the touch-up mode now,” Mars explained. “We’ve got the bones of most of the album, so it’s really about touching up parts that need a little more… Grease.”
However, Mars and .Paak intend to make the wait more bearable for the fans by releasing several more singles before the record officially comes out.
“I don’t want to be binge-watched,” Mars added.
Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak first revealed plans to form a band together in late February, saying they already have an album ready. They debuted the Silk Sonic project a week later, releasing its first single “Leave the Door Open.” The track was met with critical acclaim while topping the US Billboard Hot 100 charts and reaching No.1 in several other countries.
“Skate,” the second single from An Evening with Silk Sonic, was released on 30th July.
