As a fan of Anderson.Paak's early albums, I hope that this Silk Sonic's Billboard success at least brings attention to the good stuff, like how "Get A Grip" eventually led 11 year old me to classic Aerosmith.

My 12 year-old daughter loves Bruno Mars, but I know I can always get a laugh calling him Prince Lite

As someone who was alive and listening to the radio constantly in the 70’s, these songs are perfect. (But I’d expect nothing less from Bruno Mars.)

I agree that they nailed that certain 70s sound. Love this. Thanks for posting!

That 777 better follow up with “Ninety Threeeeee Eleven.”

See, this is what Lenny Kravitz has always aspired to, but has always been some just fingernail-length distance short of snagging the edge of the cliff as he made the leap. This surmounts it in a single bound.

I found out about this from a clip of the Smokin’ Out The Window video on Twitter. I love this album, it’s not just good but it’s a lot of fun.
