@@paranoyakrobot and I am not allowed to praise the person who i didn't know about before?? I have commented about Bruno other times and I even wrote another comment, on this video, about him, but I'm gonna delete that now, since you annoyed me. Also, very strange of you to point out obvious facts; they're both on the cover. I listened to the album. Of course I know it's a duet, you brat.
I don’t even listen to this type of music, but they absolutely captivated me with this album. It just submerges you into their grove, tells the story and leaves you with that good, warm feeling inside your chest that you usually feel after completing a good book. Loved it.
Not a coincidence that James Brown’s sound is all over this track. Bootsy got his start playing bass as a teenager in Brown’s band. He was so young, Brown had to ask Bootsy’s mom for permission to let him tour with the band!
THANK YOU for someone mentioning James Brown dear lorddddddd, came here before Blake even got to the song and you're the first person I've seen and it was the first bloody thing I said when I heard the scream in Fly As Me! Cannot believe people are forgetting to shout out this legend for so much of this project
32:32 I think how SilkSonic described it in their interviews is that the album was naturally/organically made. So whatever felt right to them, like how they felt or if they were having fun with it, they jammed and this is the output. One of the best things that happened during the pandemic...
I remember them also saying they wanted to make a concert that you could listen to in the comfort of your own home and that’s exactly what it sounds like
Apparently it was thundercat on the bass for “after last night”, but he also contributed to the three part harmony you can subtilely hear on some lines. Either way this is my favourite track on the album hands down!
You'll have to wait until 2023, because the album was released after the September 30th deadline. They are up for several Grammys for the song and performance of 'Leave The Door Open' in 2022.
TIMESTAMPS 0:38 - Silk Sonic Intro 2:30 - Fly as Me 7:36 - After Last Night 14:02 - Put On a Smile 20:07 - 777 26:11 - Skate 31:05 - Blast Off 37:00 - Outro/Conclusion
The modulations on “Blast Off” at the end are down right despicable. The smooth transitions are absolutely disgusting and these two deserve all the praise for doing the Lord’s work with this album.
I was thinking the exact same thing!!! Especially when most of their sections just screams Earth Wind and Fire. The Lords work is completely coming back full circle.
Thundercat was the bassist and part of the 3-part harmony background vocals (with Bruno & Anderson) for After Last Night. Bootsy was just doing the adlib voiceovers for that son.
The call and response you hear in R&B, Soul and funk has its genesis in gospel music. Both D’Mille (producer) & Anderson spent time as church musicians. Anderson credits much of who he is musically and vocally to the his foundation in the Black church.
OBSESSED W KITTY!! the best way to watch this honestly ahaha. appreciated the heck out of this, puts so much perspective on the album i’ve been loving 😍
Great reaction!!! Little cute kitty almost stole the show... It's always so wonderful to get a reaction from another musical artist point of view.... Subscriber!!
It probably won't, since it missed the 9/30 cutoff for Grammy 2022 eligibility. Therefore, you'll have to wait until the 2023 Grammys to find out if they were nominated, and who knows what else will come out between now and next September?
This just reminds me of the 70’s. More specifically Motown vibes. Like that funk, disco, r&b, soul sound. It is my favorite because this is the type of music I have been listening to lately. I’ve been obsessed with the 70s Motown music and this is it but modern.
You always have such good insight on why songs work. Thanks for sharing the knowledge I’m learning so much! Also: your cat is so cute. My son watches these with me and he said he wants our cat to listen to music with him like yours 😂
@@markarthurcruz5759 ...to be honest Thundercat is not ''popularly'' known, you literally have to listen to music off the beaten path to come across him. Like when he did that collab with Kenny Loggins & Michael McDonald years back.
Indicative of the 70's... the whole sound is to mimic strutin' down the street. So you feel and move.. Instruments especially bass and drums are like another characte/flavor in the play. As important as the vocalist. Loving your insights and expertise! One of my favorite channels. Thank you.
I listened to a vocal coach reaction to this album last night and it was rubbish. This reaction is so good. Your input is so informative and professional.
Ha ha!!!! I think vocal coach reactions are really hit and miss - some are great - and others seem to be more about themselves rather than the musician they’re reacting to! Sam Johnstone is really great! Doesn’t matter who is singing or what the track is, he treats it all extremely professionally and I always learn loads! Sadly, he doesn’t upload as much as I’d like - he’s so busy being an actual vocal coach, lol! Couple of others I also love are Rebecca Vocal Athlete and Beth Roars! Both British so I might be a bit biased though lol! Rebecca does a lot of tracks you wouldn’t expect from a vocal coach - her video of WAP by Cardi B is one of the funniest things I’ve ever watched! She tried to read the lyrics in her ‘posh’ English accent and couldn’t get past one verse it was so rude! Ha ha!!!
Hey man, I really enjoy your reaction. Awesome that you hear the tracks all the way without editing some parts out. I know copyright may be an issue but I really love that and this album deserves it. Keep on going 🔥
This was such a great reaction. I'm learning so much by watching your videos. Silk Sonic has been a breath of fresh air in this covid consuming world we live in. I've been obsessing over this album since it 1st dropped and I'm still not tired of it. Anyways, keep up the great work. And before I forget, I absolutely adore your kitten 😸. So adorable 💕!
Started watching and was like, damn I need to follow this, turns out I already was subscribed, love your stuff, extremely insightful, makes me listen to music differently, which I love, so thank you
Brilliant reaction - I always learn something from you!!! You totally deserve a million subs - found you originally through your early twenty one pilots breakdowns back in the Trench era and love the channel! And I love Motley - we want him in ALL the videos!!! I have 2 of my own - they’re older now but still tiny and act exactly like Motley! Think they’re 9-ish and no idea of what breed they’d be to be so small as they were rescue cats. I grew up with dogs and was always a ‘dog’ person but I wouldn’t Swap my 2 kitty’s for the world!
I've really been waiting on your reaction video Blake. I'm already commenting cause I known I'll like your reaction either ways. I'd really love to see your reaction towards some of .Paak's works specially his album Malibu and his Tiny desk performance cause that's an iconic video where you'll see his talent.
Completely unrelated to all of the great analysis, your cat is so freakin adorable. Cute and cuddly at times, little ball of energy. Honestly the few extra pauses didn’t bother me in the slightest with how funny he was
I believe ThunderCat handled bass on After Last Night w/Bootsy’s MC ad libs. On another, big ups to Marley! 😂 Also, in interviews Bruno mentioned that for Put On A Smile, he called in Babyface (also named by Bootsy) to get feedback & input. Babyface told them where to put the modulation, & then joined them singing background vocals. 👍
All this time I thought I subscribed! 🤦🏾♀️ I'm so sorry. I've subscribed now 😁 great reaction video to an incredible album! Every track is just unbelievable 🥰
I really enjoyed your review, and that alone you get a like. I hope you will get to a million likes, I am sure you will. An evening with Silk Sonic is my favorite cd right now. I am so loving it. I grew up in the 70s, and this cd reminds me of the Ohio players, The Jackson's, Harold Melvin and Blue Notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass, James Brown, The Temptations, Parliament, Funkadelic and more groups from the 70s. After last night reminds me so much of the Ohio Players, Bootsy Ruubber Band, The Dells, The Delfonics, and more. I dedicate this cd to my Dad he would of love this...❤
LOVE this album, every single song. And LOVE watching your reaction and comments, you have great rhythm too. As for your kitten, gorgeous. Hi from New Zealand :)
Echoing from other reaction vids i've seen > they leave the door open... find someone fly as them which lead to after last night... got their heart broken, got stressed and now smokin out the window.. realized what they've lost(??) so its hard to put on a smile.. moves on and gambles (777).. after losing money they go skating... thinking of a way to segue to blast off... hahhaa but blast off how its produced is literally like a ride on a spacecraft... rumbling of the drums like the actual launch.. then at the end its like you're floating in space...

This is the earliest I’ve ever been here lmao💀😭 been waiting for this one
me too lmao
Best album of 2021. Period

Thanks Colette. What a beautiful name
Black church singer and musician here. We have the best musicians on the planet. Great place for Anderson to hone his craft.
I’m digging the parrot kitten you have😂, love this album and it has been playing nonstop since it came out for me

Great reaction!!! Little cute kitty almost stole the show... It's always so wonderful to get a reaction from another musical artist point of view.... Subscriber!!
The cat is so cute this video 🥺🥺
the scream at the the 777 sounds like the jackpot machine's wheels rolling. It's so SMAAARRRTTTT!!!
If Silk Sonic doesn’t get AOTY, there’s no justice !!!
It probably won't, since it missed the 9/30 cutoff for Grammy 2022 eligibility. Therefore, you'll have to wait until the 2023 Grammys to find out if they were nominated, and who knows what else will come out between now and next September?
The album is made to sweep the whole awards. Hope by 2023 they already dropped After Last Night and Put On A Smile on the mainstream.
3 key changes and it was so smooth you didn’t notice xD

Also: your cat is so cute. My son watches these with me and he said he wants our cat to listen to music with him like yours 😂
That was Thundercat on that bass run in After Last Night
It's frustrating how he doesn't know Thundercat 🥲

This cat is just a little puppy, so cuteeeeeeeeee! And this album is amazing, I'm addicted!
