    Uma delícia de álbum, com elementos que se encaixam perfeitamente. Anderson e Bruno fazem com que suas vozes sejam um pedaço do céu. Álbum do ano, sem dúvidas.

    Wow. My expectations were insanely high. And they were blown out of the water. Literal masterpiece. Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars are two of the best musicians today, and they both were firing at all cylinders on this album. It's perfect. I'm speechless.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't express it in beautiful words about what I felt hearing it, I think it was the first one I liked ALL THE TRACKS at first, for me it's one of the best albums of the century, well job, the instrumentals are just FLAWLESS, silk sonic is HISTORY. the blass off ending is simply inexplicable, fly as for me was anderson's moment, very artist... put on a smile?????? for real?? PERFECT!

    Oh honestly, I'm not talking, drooling egg because I'm a fan, but it's because I like these genres they put, I love researching, I love discovering artists of these genres, I love everything... it's music, it's beautiful to hear, it's wonderful to feel. 10/10    … Expand

    Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. This album is undoubtedly one of the best of the year, of course its melodies and lyrics stand out a lot. "777" great song, like the well-known "Leave the Door Open", "Skate", "Smokin Out the Window". And all the songs, they're all good...

    The production, the vocals, the instruments, the visible heavy inspiration in the 70's songs, the sequence of the tracks... everything is so perfect! Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak took their best musical inspirations and gave life to this 10/10 album. Definitely the best of 2021.

    This album has one banger after another. Literally every track on this album had me stop what I was doing so I could listen to every note. Beautiful music and Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have amazing chemistry. Loved it.

    Bruno and Anderson have created a unique 70’s experience almost like no other music today. With beautiful instrumentals and classic, yet edgy lyrics, this album is a treat for the soul

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simplesmente fenomenal, na minha visão o álbum pop/funk do ano, o retorno aos anos 70 trás uma mistura de sensações incrível, além é claro da nostálgia, muitos podem dizer que tal retorno pode ser algo sem sal, ou que não trouxe nada de novo para indústria, mas eu digo ezatamente o contrário voltar ao passado troxe um ar renovador para uma indústria pop que se repetia com álbuns medíocres e ruins, assim como After Hours e Future Nostalgia, An Evening With Silk Sonic é fantástico e me faz lembrar que ainda existe qualidade na música pop.… Expand

    'An Evening with Silk Sonic' is full of passion, is an extremely fun groovy listen, and has textbook sounds of funk, R&B, and soul. Each song on here sets its own tone and vibe and the production is just absolutely spot on perfect. However, it's nothing groundbreaking and it really didn't hit me that hard. Only a few songs really stuck with me like 'After Last Night' and 'Put On A Smile'.'An Evening with Silk Sonic' is full of passion, is an extremely fun groovy listen, and has textbook sounds of funk, R&B, and soul.

    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.
