Haha, Bruno really loves this sound, doesn’t he? And he’s singing his face off. He’s really from another era!
I love this.

This is so meticulously produced and arranged, it's a little bit suffocating.
But it's a stunner of a track. I love the harmonies and background vocals especially. And Bruno sounds fantastic. They also need to push this to Urban/R&B stat.

This is very EW&F. It will be interesting to see how far this goes radio wise.

I like it but it definitely took a few listens to grow on me, it isn't immediately ear catching like his hits from 24K Magic or even Uptown Funk. I'll probably get to a point where I love it eventually.

This is FIRE. I totally see the Versace on the Floor comparisons. That one is actually my favorite Bruno song.
But anyways, I’m obsessed. I hope this does well!

This is so good. He's making smooth 70s late-night bedroom music and I'm here for it

This honestly gives me strong Yacht Rock vibes, as well as classic Soul and R&B. Clear 70s throwback, looking forward to hearing more from Bruno and Paak.

If it's considered that this is impacting Hot AC immediately, I think it's safe to say that this will be the same for Pop and Rhythmic.

Is this actually going to be pushed as "Silk Sonic" or will it be "Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak"?

It would be wise to have Bruno’s name on it otherwise he won’t get credited on Billboard if it’s just “Silk Sonic.” On streaming platforms it’s billed as Bruno Mars, Anderson Pak & Silk Sonic. I wonder if Billboard will let that fly.

This is fantastic. I had high expectations and they were exceeded.
It'll be nice for the pop girls to have men on the radio who SANG for once. The bar has been practically on the floor for awhile now.

The 2022 Grammys are over already. Just give them all the awards. This song is A+ material. Love everything about it and this coming from someone who wasn’t over the moon with 24K Magic era Bruno. I’m all in for this after hearing this song. Magical. The most direct reference I can think of is the Stylistics “You Are Everything” if you kids out there wanna look up that song. Definite influence on this one.

The Philly soul style played with the utmost care + Paak's trademark sense of humor + Bruno's voice sounding precisely in the pocket = exactly what I needed right now

Cause I doubt a lot of people know what a Silk Sonic is.

Anyways, I was honestly expecting something a bit different, a little more uptempo but this is nice and breezy. Reminds me of "Calling All My Lovelies" from 24k Magic.

It oozes Paak's talent through and through, I never found much talent in Bruno and his vocals do nothing for me, but Anderson needs more exposure as Dr Dre screwed his career up and Mars needs more collaborative talent to give his career a boost, so this might work. But will it take Bruno back to the top of the chart? This song here probably not. Anderson's solo work is so much superior to this, "Tints" should have been bigger than any of Bruno Mars's pseudofunks...
