It's the collab we didn't know we wanted, but are thanking god it exists. Silk Sonic are a new star-studded duo consisting of modern R&B and funk megastars Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak. After a stunning, mournful lead single 'Smokin Out The Window', we're on the edge of our seats over this collaboration for the ages. Set to be a two-tone tour through Motown-reminiscent, slow soul jams, the production value on this is sure to be high - it has been ever since Mars' 'Uptown Funk' hit. It's no wonder these two are friends; meeting in 2017 while on Mars' 24K Magic world tour, their ultra-comparable palette saw to a brief glimpse of them hitting the studio with Nile Rodgers, Disclosure's Guy Lawrence, and even Bootsy Collins for narration of the album. Expect a retro round-trip through 60s, 70s and "old school" soul, refracted through sunglasses, flat caps and Cadillacs.
