Silk Sonic - Part 2

The previous thread self-locked.

The guys performed at the BET Soul Train Awards, and did "Fly As Me."

However, the setting of the video is so great. If everyone wasn't wearing a stupid mask, it'd have almost been a lost performance from 40 years ago.

But the whole aesthetic is so fun. What a great throwback. I love how he can really take something old and instead of just imitating it, he remakes it for the 21st century.

The pre-chorus reminds me of part of "Shining Star" from Earth Wind & Fire. ("I don't ask for muuuuch..." listen to that part. It's like "Shining star for you and me...") Andersen's voice in this song reminds me of US3 or Digable Planets.

They even name check, probably unintentional, "Fire and Desire."

Awesome, fun performances. I love how Bruno is just a natural background dancer/singer, the way he let Anderson shine throughout the Fly As Me performance.

Incredible energy and chemistry between them.

Can't wait for Put On a Smile, Blast Off and After Last Night performances razz

By the way, @TrivialPursuit, what do you think of the album now that it's been some time since it's been out?

They're still putting out their cigs.

I've had it on a few times. I still enjoy it.

If they do a proper tour I hope its more of a band set up with Paak on drums and Mars on guitar/keys. I saw some photos from the album release party and that seemed to be the set up so hopefully they will. The Temptations/Jacksons/O'Jays thing is cool but I'd really like to see them stretch out on some of these songs live.
