    what would this be without the nostalgia, nothing. no new concepts or production, no storytelling and the lyrics are corny

    The most generic album I have ever heard, i'ts so bad. Don't listen to it, it's not worth your time.

    Weak Melodies, easy go-to 70’s production that isn’t surprising or inventive. Great performance technically but there’s nothing really stand out or creative here. I can’t see myself memorizing the tunes at all. Very smooth generic background vibes. If you like that kind of dull cheesy vintage sound than ok, but it just sounds so empty yet so overcrowded.

    Clocking in at nine tracks and 31 minutes, Mars and Paak are in and out, delivering their best impression of ’70s funk, soul and R&B — albeit each track is so spit polished and clean, it noticeably lacks the raw charm of the original. But that in no way means An Evening With Silk Sonic doesn’t have its merits.

    It’s not cynical and calculated enough to be a shameless cash-grab yet it’s not self-indulgent enough to be a vanity project. Perhaps it’s just a stopgap in the catalogues of two big-selling artists; an intended homage to the music that made Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. They’re making this music because they like it, because they want to, and because they can.

    Yes, it’s all cheesy as a vat of fondue. But it’s also a lot of fun.
