Ladies and Gents, music duo Anderson.Paak and Bruno Mars also known as Silk Sonic have returned with their summertime jam ‘Skate‘ – It is hard to believe that it has only been four months since Silk Sonic released their debut single Leave The Door Open, in March 2021. To fans who have been waiting for the duo to release the An Evening with Silk Sonic album it has probably seemed like a lifetime.

With little to no album details, fans who were waiting for something new from the duo were met with a surprise this week when the new single Skate was released. A track that is layered in drums, bongos and strings – Skate is very reminiscent of the disco musical stylings of the 70s.

With a chart-topping debut single and winning Best R&B group at this year’s BET Awards, many were wondering would Silk Sonic be able to do it again – and by the looks of it the answer that question is an astounding yes. The song has risen to #1 on the iTunes Charts and as garnered nearly 8 million music video views in just 24 hours.
