Nearly 9 months after Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak first announced they’d joined forces to create the band Silk Sonic, the GRAMMY-winning duo have finally lifted the lid on their first collaborative album.

Titled ‘An Evening with Silk Sonic,’ the highly anticipated LP was preceded by the Hot 100 chart-topping lead single, ‘Leave the Door Open,’ as well as the critically acclaimed singles ‘Smoking Out the Window’ and ‘Skate.’

Boasting only two featured guests, Thundercat and the legendary Bootsy Collins, ‘Evening’ sees Silk Sonic take center stage and get straight to the point as the 9-song album clocks in at just 31 minutes.

Just a week ahead of the premiere of one of the year’s most highly anticipated films, the Will Smith-led ‘King Richard,’ music megastar Beyoncé has unveiled her equally anticipated contribution to its soundtrack.

Titled ‘Be Alive,’ anthemic track – penned by Bey and DIXSON – acts as the standout cut from the movie’s musical companion album and sees the songstress show off her vocal prowess over orchestra-laden accompaniment.

“It feels so good to be alive / Got all my sisters by my side / Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried (Black off if I tried)

That’s why I lift my head with pridе / Now we’re sitting on top of the world again,” she belts on the soaring number.
