Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak and Silk Sonic Take Their ‘70s Throwback to the Roller Disco With ‘Skate’ Silk Sonic, the lusciously retro duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak that debuted back in March with the smash throwback single “Leave the Door Open,” continue their loving tribute to the mid-1970s with the smooth R&B of “Skate.” Where the first single was based around 1974-era groups like the Commodores and the Chi-Lights, “Skate” pivots forward a couple of years with a sound more reminiscent of disco-era acts like Tavares and mid-tempo tracks from the “Saturday Night Fever” soundtrack. As with “Leave the Door Open,” it’s a pitch-perfect throwback, with swooning strings, textured guitars, vintage vocal exhortations and even a period-appropriate financial reference in the opening line: “In a room full of dimes, you’d be worth a hundred dollars.” The seeds of the collaboration were planted in 2017 when .Paak opened for Mars on the European leg of his “24K Magic World Tour.” They jammed one night while on tour and apparently explored the vibe they’re following with Silk Sonic — according to the announce,emt, just before quarantine began last year, Mars called .Paak and said, “Remember that idea we had back in 2017? Let’s do it."
