From Bruce Springsteen to Louis Tomlinson and Rauw Alejandro, several major artists dropped new albums this Friday, giving us amazing songs along the way.

Mars announced the duo’s withdrawal from awards consideration in a statement shared with Rolling Stone and thanked everyone who supported and championed their album An Evening with Silk Sonic.

“We truly put our all on this record, but Silk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year. We hope we can celebrate with everyone on a great year of music and partake in the party,” said Mars.

This announcement stirred a lot of confusion, especially since Silk Sonic won four awards at the Grammys with “Leave the Door Open”, including the record of the year and song of the year. Mars also thanked the Grammys for awarding them and letting them perform at the ceremony, adding they’d be crazy to ask for anything more.

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. released an official statement, saying they appreciate their decision not to submit this year and praised them for being “such a fun highlight” at the last couple of shows.

Just like the music videos for the duo’s previous singles, the “Smokin’ Out the Window” visual is as stylish as it gets and it has a strong retro vibe. Mars and Paak are shown performing their latest single on an old school TV set while rocking matching wide lapel tuxedo jackets.

Silk Sonic broke into the scene with their debut single “Leave the Door Open” which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was followed by “Skate” at number 14 and we’re excited to see how well “Smokin’ Out the Window” will do once it enters the chart.

All three singles are expected to be featured on the duo’s debut joint album An Evening with Silk Sonic, which will feature a total of nine songs including a collaboration with Thundercat and Bootsy Collins. The album will be released on November 12th by Aftermath Entertainment and Atlantic Records.

.Paak is straight off a Grammy win for Best Melodic Rap Performance and he teased the idea about a collaboration during an interview.

While speaking about his nine-year-old son’s obsession with the K pop stars, the singer was asked by Esquire if he’d collaborate with the artists.

“I’m working on trying to get that plug, man. If you know of any way, let me know, bro,” .Paak replied.

.Paak has been busy with collaborations including his new band with Bruno Mars: Silk Sonic. The duo performed their debut single “Leave The Door Open” at the Grammys while wearing matching vintage, burnt orange suits.

BTS went into the Grammys with a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Dynamite”, but they ended up losing to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande’s “Rain on Me”. They performed “Dynamite” from a set in Seoul that recreated the stage of the Grammys.

“We made an album!!” enthused .Paak on Instagram. “Y’all get the first song next Friday 3/5!! Rocket emojis and all that!!!”

Mars confirmed the news on Twitter with the accompanying art writing, “We locked in and made an album. The band’s called Silk Sonic. First song drops next Friday.”

The artwork promises legendary Parliamentarian, Bootsy Collins, as a “special guest host”.

The artists have worked together before as tourmates when .Paak opened for Mars on the 24K Magic tour. They also put in separate appearances on the Chic album It’s About Time three years ago.

Mars won the triple crown at the 2018 Grammys for his last album, 2016’s 24K Magic, picking up Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.

.Paak released his last album, Ventura, in 2019 and has been releasing one-offs since. In 2020, he released four non-album singles including a Trollz soundtrack collaboration with Justin Timberlake.
