Silk Sonic (Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak) currently only has one song, “Leave The Door Open.” (Or two, if you include the minute-long “Silk Sonic Intro.”) But so far, that’s all they’ve needed: The song has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart twice, the most recent time being a few weeks ago. Silk Sonic is, for the time being, a one-trick pony, but what a trick it is. They sang it again last night at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, and the song hasn’t lost its power: Silk Sonic was still trending on Twitter the next morning after their performance.
Last night’s performance was identical to their prior live performances of the song, which included. Paak and Mars perform soulful vintage vibes with the help of supporting singers.
Although the duo currently only has one single, they’ve actually performed more than just “Leave The Door Open” live: At the Grammys in March, .Paak and Mars performed a medley of Little Richard songs in honor of the late legend.
