Description
In a joint performance, Bruno Mars, and Anderson. Paak and Silk Sonic take the stage at The Forum in Inglewood. Dressed in all black, with his signature dreadlocks dangling down his back, Mars opened the show with “24K Magic”. Anticipation of the music event was high as VIP tickets for this performance had sold out within minutes of going on sale back in January.
Hook
The lineup for this evening’s show included Bruno Mars and Anderson. Paak have both been nominated for Grammys while Silk Sonic is a rising star who broke out on Spotify last year with his single “Toxic +” which has garnered more than 5 million streams worldwide.
Act One
Act One began with the musical trio of Mars, Paak, and Silk Sonic performing a medley of hits including “24k Magic”, “Locked Out Of Heaven”, “Grenade” and “That’s What I Like”. The trio also performed the song in a guest appearance on the TV show Empire but their performance was much shorter than that of Bruno Mars and Anderson . Paak danced around like they were on stage at a Michael Jackson concert.
The crowd went crazy when Bruno Mars came back out to perform “Marry The Night” which he has not performed since his world tour ended in 2016.
Act Two
The second act of the show opened with Anderson. Paak, who is known for his soulful voice and slick dance moves, appeared on stage dressed in his trademark Converse sneakers and “Hi” hat. The crowd went wild as they danced to his song “Come Down” which was followed by a brief medley of songs including “Put Me Thru”, “The Waters” and “Miss Right”.
Act Three
Bruno Mars closed out the show with a performance of his hit song “Uptown Funk!” He was dressed in all black with a white watch and chains around his ankles. His signature leather boots glistened onstage as he performed his dance moves and interacted with the audience.
Conclusion
Overall, this was a rare concert that brought together three artists who have all been nominated for Grammy awards. With his unique style, Bruno Mars was able to put on a show that had the crowd dancing in their seats. After this performance, it seems like there is no stopping Bruno Mars who recently won two Grammys for “24K Magic” and sold more than 2 million copies of it worldwide since its release last year.

I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. My parents weren’t hippies, they were into Motown. I grew up listening to all the great R & B artists like Whitney Houston, Jeffrey Osborne, Anita Baker, James Ingram, Donna Summer, The Pointer Sisters and every Motown artist. Silk Sonic is music we need for today. They are “Fly”. The music is fun and smooth. I like every song on the album, that is unusual for me. Watching their videos, just adds to the fun. I have missed this music. Well done Silk Sonic! I look forward to your next album. Please don’t make us wait too long! I purchased the CD and I am currently waiting for the vinyl release at the end of August.UPDATE: just got my vinyl of “An Evening with Silk Sonic” it sounds even better!!! A 10 out of 10!!

Bruno and Andy are excellent musicians. This CD gives a real good old school vibe mixed with a modern twist. This album is a treat to those who love real music with real instrumentation.

Ever since Bruno’s first album he has been very eclectic with songs in multiple genres. In this one he focuses his talent and makes an album that can be played on my 80s CD player that I don’t have a remote for and I’m happy to say I don’t need it. In the era of singles Silk Sonic makes an album that can be listened to without needing to skip “filler” tracks. Thank you Silk Sonic.

This cd makes me want to dance. It has a 70’s vibe when the world was in a different place. It’s Bootsy Collins all over the place

I received the vinyl of this album today after preordering it and I am just so happy. My boyfriend and I listened to this album when it first came out and it’s been one of our favorites ever since, EVERY single song on this album is so nice and I am constantly going back and listening to each one. Silk Sonic is amazing. Wish I could see this live! Can’t wait to give this to my boyfriend for his birthday! It’s hard not to open it myself! 🙂
