It's really not that hard to understand their strategy. They want to release more singles this era. These days most eras are done about a month after the album release and post-album singles are difficult to push. So they are now promoting "Skate". I think there will be another single in the fall, probably October. After the holidays they will release single #4 along with the album. I don’t care to understand their strategy. All I know is that I don’t like it...along with the fact that “Skate” is not a strong single anyway. You don't have to like their strategy. They are not going to change it because some fans don't like it and want the album to be released ASAP.

I didn't say they were going to change their release strategy, I voiced my OPINION on a DISCUSSION BOARD. Get over yourself.

I'm not knocking them for any strategy. This was clearly a pandemic project that exploded into something they weren't prepared for with respect to its popularity.
Take your time fellas - going by the first two singles, you're doing this era and sound justice.

Bruno is currently making his coin in Vegas, I think he's okay that his billboard #1 chart topping quarantine side project fizzles out a bit.

No, it's not okay cause i've been waiting for new Bruno music since ages. He better drop his album before pulling a Rihanna and do everything but music. :kii:

I wonder if they even had a full album ready, because it will be nearly a year from the time "Leave The Door Open" was released until the album is released.

Yes!!! That's next month!
NOT next year!
Looks like it's going to be 9 tracks, including the intro.

So, they're essentially settling for a #2 debut? Not likely this can challenge Taylor, especially since she has vinyls and all pre-orders and the like, right? (Although, I'd prefer this be #1).

They're kinda giving up on this project a bit aren't they? Skate fizzled and I expected them to push another single before the album but they've been very quiet. There's still time I guess, and they're probably avoiding Adele's single release, but they don't even need a #1... just a cute radio hit to keep audiences engaged will do. (The 'stache is tragic).

I'm guessing they expected "Skate" to pop off like LTDO and stay afloat for the rest of the year. Because they have been too quiet.
But good to know the album comes out next month, I am ready.

And he just announced Vegas residency dates in December, which means whatever promo Silk Sonic has in store will likely just be focused for the month of November with the album launch.

The pictures of Bruno with Stevie Wonder and Janet Jackson warm my heart. 🥰 How I'd give everything for a collaboration! By the way, Music Fan , Choco , I don't think Bruno cares much for high debuts when it comes to his albums, as he always excels on the longevity side of things. - "Doo-Wops and Hooligans" peaked at #3, and yet it's the 2010s album with most weeks on the chart, also surpassing classics like "Thriller", "Back In Black", and The Beatles' "1". - "Unorthodox Jukebox" debuted at #2 (fun coincidence, blocked by Taylor Swift's "Red"), but later reached #1 on its 12th week on the charts. - Finally, "24K Magic" was blocked from the top spot by Metallica's comeback album, but once again, the album served crazy longevity and ended up at #2 on the 2017 Year-End, higher than "Starboy", "Divide", and the "Moana" soundtrack, to name a few (for comparison, Metallica's album ended up as the twelfth biggest album of the year - better than I was expecting, honestly... I was surprised when I found out). I'm still hoping for a single release before the album, but I don't believe the chosen release date suggests they've given up on the project.
