Why aren’t there many new pop stars?  

Did Silk Sonic not submit their album to the Grammys to make it easier for other artists to win? 

 Bruno Mars and anderson.paak’s R&B partnership as Silk Sonic made their Billboard Music Awards debut with a performance of Con Funk Shun’s 1983 classic “Love’s Train.” The duo took over the stage in their ’70s attire and gave one of the night’s best performances. They had nominations for Top R&B Album, Top R&B Song, Top R&B Artist and  Top Duo/Group. They did not win but Mars took home one award for Top R&B Tour for his Park MGM Grand residency. 

Bruno Mars has revealed the release date for the Silk Sonic project comprised of himself and anderson.paak. They already gave a preview earlier this year with the singles “Leave The Door Open” and “Skate.” Mars posted the November 12th release date on his Twitter account October 8th which was his birthday. There is a photo of him, paak and Bootsy Collins who makes a guest appearance on the album. An Evening With Silk Sonic will be released in November instead of the original 2022 date.
