The band in the back is Bruno's band The Hooligans, and Im pretty sure that is his bass player Jamareo Artis on the bass. It's kinda hard to tell but Im pretty sure that is him. And this song is the most Anderson song on the album for sure. It sounds a lot like stuff off of his Malibu and Ventura albums. And like someone else said, Andy and Bruno wrote and worked on all the songs together, Bruno didn't just bring the songs to Andy. One thing I love about them is that their live performances could serve as music videos cuz they're so good. Every single award show performance, including this, is just so fun and so well done that they could just release it as a music video.
That is Jamareo.
Yup
Sounds similar to "come down"
This is actually a live performance at the soul train awards
The bass player is Bruno’s bass player for over 10 years Jamario Artis. The others are also Bruno’s group for the same length of time including Bruno’s brother on drums
Add on Kamron Whalum singing background is also the trombone player
So a couple of things. Andy and Bruno met on Bruno’s 24K magic tour. AP and Free Nationals opened. They hit it off and snuck off to the studio to work together. After Bruno finished the 24K Magic tour two years later, he called up Anderson and invited him to the studio to work on some of the stuff they started when they were on tour. Bruno said that he was really struggling in the studio and when he did the session with Andy: “Andy set the studio on fire!” Bruno realized that Andy was a serious STUDIO drummer and it is Andy’s drumming on every song on the album, except Smoking Out the Window. Many of the songs that they worked on where ideas or undeveloped songs that Bruno had, so it is true it leans towards Bruno’s style. Andy’s work is more raw, more fluid, doesn’t play by the rules of classic songwriting. BUT it has a definite AP groove and influence through the drumming and many of the lyrics. The 70s R & B is absolutely where Bruno is at his best and where he probably always wanted to be. He said in one interview: “We love this shyt!” And they weren’t worried about whether it would be commercially successful as they were working on it. They just wanted to make what they both thought was good music. They key is that they had FUN in studio, but also are first-rate musicians, songwriters, producers AND performers. Imagine having the two best performers in the business come together to put together a show and you’ve got their Vegas residency where celebrities and others are flocking from around the world and leaving the show saying “it’s the best show that they have ever seen.” I went to the show and agree. Sat behind an older white couple (late 50s) from Minnesota who were jamming and know practically every word to every song. They have universal appeal and that is what we need right now.
The songs on the album were written by both Anderson and Bruno.
This was their performance at the doul train awards. It is Bruno's band with the exception of the trumpet player which is Maurice Brown from the free nationals. The bass player is Jamareo Artis.
Agree, this is recorded with being played live on tour in mind. So glad they're doing this so well. Incredible collaboration like they where meant to be together, a perfect 🔥🔥🔥🔥storm. Silky Sonicy and so smooth. All boxes ticked ✅
You guys need to listen to more Anderson .Paak he has that old school vibe, check out his Tiny Desk concert you will see his vibe. He was not inspired by Bruno that was his genre all along.
I watched the Grammys bc of BTS but they caught my attention (don't bash me, i know they're huge but i don't live in America and don't listen to radio so I was missing Anderson big time, i only knew Bruno)with their performance. They were so energetic, you can't to take away your eyes from them and the feeling they give you it's of pure happiness, like an energy shot.
Loved the EWF reference . That’s was a sure compliment to Silk Sonic.
Glad you liked it!
Nice reaction. Bruno met Andy when Andy opened for Bruno on the European leg of the 24K Magic Tour. They are both on the Atlantic Record Label. They used to get together in studios in Europe during their down time. Bruno helped write a song for one of Andy’s albums and they started writing Smoking Out The Window. During the pandemic, Bruno asked Andy to come to his LA studio where they finished writing SOTW and proceeded to write the songs for the album. Please react to 777 from The Grammys.
Andy is signed to Aftermath, Dr Dre’s label
@@cbailey2487 yes, but he is also on Atlantic.
@@donnad8664 He is for the project, I took it to mean he was solely signed to Atlantic Records, my bad.
"I'm on the bus and freaking Bell Biv DeVoe is playing" - yes! That is the exact vibe why I started listening to Bruno. It brought back the 90s that I had missed so much. He is really the only artist over the past 20 years whose music (and really, VIBE) I could REALLY get into. Then, along came Silk Sonic and with Andy, it seems like Bruno could take it up YET another notch. Put On A Smile is my favorite SONG from this album (it is one of the best songs I've EVER heard), but Fly As Me is my favorite JAM. And yes, the choreography is definitely something one needs to learn and then perform each time one does ANYTHING and this track comes on. I do - in the kitchen doing the dishes, in the car driving, it really doesn't matter. :)
Army here checking out your other reactions.
I like silk sonic haven't heard this song before though.
Fun fact: most BTS members went to silk sonic show in vegas. And Anderson Paak went to BTS concert in La with his son and wife.
That is a fun fact and I think I will use that fact in an upcoming video, giving you credit of course.
Anderson .Paak played drums for BTS a few days ago (PROOF live). It was delightful! Had to check out your reactions once I realized 💜💜💜
Love the retro discussion. I watched Soul Train and Dick Clark in Saturday mornings when I was a teen in Alabama. Music has always been an important part of my every day life. Thanks for the intelligent discussion about the music.
Anderson toured with Bruno, supporting for the 24 k 'agin tour on the European leg. In that time they got together in studios and worked together. One of the songs is on Anderson's album. Smoking out the window started first four years before completion of this album. Not sure who the bass player is, doesn't look like Jamario who's been with Bruno forever, nor D'Mile who played bass on this track.
Thanks for this!
Fun fact Bruno Mars was a backup singer for RnB singer Anthony Hamilton back in the day you can check him out on on the video Anthony Hamilton Charlene MP4 and be prepared he looks very different❤❤😂😂
Not sure where that story came from about how they came together. If you check any interviews they gave, they always talk about 2017 tour where Andy opened up for Bruno on the 24k Magic tour & they started hangin, realizing they liked a lot of same music. Got in a studio & started messing with the ideas for Smokin Out the Window. Did their respective’thing’ individually for next couple years, & then came pandemic 2020. Bruno invited APaak over to studio on his birthday sayin, ‘Let’s finish that song’. He came by & it spiraled….short version.
I bet you can find a load of artist in the funk space on TikTok. I get them all the time on my feed. I would love to see more artist in this genre. Also love the nerd out from Kyle lol
There are lots of rumors/clues to Anderson possibly having a collab with BTS. All the members, besides one, went to the Silk Sonic concert before the Grammys. They’re my two favorite groups!
A collab would be awesome.
@@naturegirl9981 agreed! I wonder if it was for someone’s mixtape since he isn’t credited on the new proof tracks??
Great reaction! I love the fanning out. A couple things: based on interviews with the guys Bruno had a few “hooks” like this hook, and Put On A Smile, but they wrote together with D’Mile most tracks and maybe Brody Brown, perhaps some others here and there. And Andy came up with the groove for some of these tracks and they went from there. His drumming is throughout and if you listen to “Come Down”, “Tints”, “Make It Better”, “Put Me Thru” by Anderson .Paak, you’ll see how recognizable his sound is and how this does indeed sound like him. Silk Sonic is a perfect blend of both artists even tho some songs seem more like either of their typical styles.
Every silk reaction lol
@@BluEx22329 you already know there's a handful of us lol
that new opening reminds me of Monty Python and I love it! lol
You gotta react to their live performance of 777 at the Grammys this year.
Great reaction but Bruno and Anderson wrote the songs for AEWSS together along with D Mile and a few others.
Anybody who has seen Anderson Paak and the Free Nationals on their Tiny Desk concert or their GrubHub concert knows that Paak is an amazing drummer, rapper and singer. And heis Bruno's peer, not his follower.
If you want to hear more harder song than this, then I STRONGLY (and I repeat it again : STRONGLY) suggesting you to see this mv. This is a song called Poison from a girl group named Pink Fantasy (link video : ruclips.net/video/ZquXNjEtPPo/видео.html)
The song is waaaayyyyy more harder, and I'm sure you will be totally shock as hell when you hear it. You don't believe me? Then go see it for yourselves, I DARE YOU.
Once again, greetings from InSomnia of Indonesia branch😎🤟
Please react to BIG BANG - STILL LIFE
look up breezy lovejoy......
😢 stop talking over the video it's very disrespectful😮😮😮😮
You guys talk waaaay too much. Less pausing and talking while the song is still playing. After it’s over, you can talk all you want, but it’s annoying af to stop and talk during it cuz we want to watch/listen and see your reaction first.
