Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak kicked off 2021 with the announcement that they’d teamed up as Silk Sonic for a new album. An Evening With Silk Sonic lacked a release date for a long time, but near the close of the summer, they revealed the project would appear at the start of next year. Thankfully, they changed their minds and moved it ahead to November 12, giving us only one week until Silk Sonic’s An Evening With. Before that album is out, Bruno and.Paak return with “Smokin’ Out The Window,” their third and ostensibly final song for us to enjoy.
The song is full of funk and grooves, just like their previous two songs, but this time the vocalists are enraged at a past partner who abandoned them. Bruno and.Paak scream about their past lovers’ conduct and their bewilderment at being fooled in the name of love on “Smokin’ Out The Window.”
“Smokin’ Out The Window” follows Silk Sonic’s chart-topping and award-winning single “Leave The Door Open,” which kicked off the road to their new album. Months later, they returned with “Skate,” a playful track that took their funk to a tropical setting.
