Starting point is 00:00:03 Boy, you already know, Anderson Pack is somewhere punching the air right now. Nah, I'm just joking. But all jokes aside, Anderson Pack is probably happy for Bruno Mars and just hopes this song does tremendous numbers on the charts and hopefully mimics the same type of impact that he had with Anderson Pack. Because I'm not going to lie to you. If this leads to a collab album, I'm not going to say I'd be disappointed. All I'm going to say is, it's been three years since one of the best albums came out,
Starting point is 00:00:42 since one of the best albums of the past five years came out. What am I talking about? Of course, Silk Sonic, which if you don't know, which you should. But if you don't know, it became Bruno Mars's fourth and Anderson Pax second. Top 10 album as far as the Billboard 200 is considered. So obviously it was successful selling around 104,000 first week units. So besides that part, because streams don't always equivalent or streams don't always mean something that's high quality.
Starting point is 00:01:15 It just means that it's an objective scale for how many people are engaging with your current music. I wanted to get into the quality. Now that is a whole different discussion. Silk Sonic is one of the best albums. I've ever heard from start to finish. And as far as the artistry on display, as far as leave the door open and what was the other track? Put on a Smile.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I think put on a smile is one of my favorite tracks of all time. So the amount of praise I have for the likes of a Bruno Morris and for the likes of an Anderson Pack, who are real musicians playing actual instruments as they perform. It's a little different. You know, there's a lot of learning curves you have to go through to even get to that level of playing instruments while you're singing at such a high level, you know? So enough of the glaze. Let's just get into the objective facts, right?
Starting point is 00:02:11 You know what I mean? Because it's not glazing if it's facts, right? Anyways. So leave the door open, reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Bruno Morris as fastest song to ever reach number one, ever. Like Bruno Marius. We're talking about a man that been. putting out music since 2010. It was as fastest song ever as far as Leave the Door Open to reach number one.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Marking, well, also getting another Grammy was Bruno Mars with his, I think it was his album. Was there a song or album? No, it was song. Okay, so Leave the Door Open also won multiple Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year. think about a record of the year song of the year best R&B performance and best R&B song at the
Starting point is 00:03:04 64th Grammy Awards like when I tell you all this album is a masterpiece like as an artist to listen to somebody else make music and then you think that your style will compliment
Starting point is 00:03:20 them and then you get into that studio and then it just is 10 times better than you even imagine Imagine because sometimes I hear this all the time with certain artists. They'd be like, yeah, I'm going to get in the studio with so-and-so. It's funny to be fired. Come out to studio and they'd be like, man, it wasn't where I thought it was going to be. That man don't even be on time.
Starting point is 00:03:40 He laid all the time. He don't even put effort into it. He gave one or two takes. They'd be horrible, but he still keeps it. Like, you know, they'd be having all type of horror stories about collaborating with people. So for Anderson Pack and for Bruno Morris to come out with such a legendary, iconic body of work title Silk Sonic
Starting point is 00:03:59 I mean it was just wonderful to the years I am not going to lie to you All right so anyways The reason why I'm bringing this all up is because of this track with Lady Gaga I think if this particular track Die What a Smile does well We could assume That a collab album may be in the mist
Starting point is 00:04:15 Because with this duet between Lady Gaga and Bruno Morris is basically A 70s pop influence reminiscent of the earlier the earlier hit shallow if you was if you was around that time shout out to my old people if you listen to a
Starting point is 00:04:33 shout out to you I mean keep keep on kicking but not yeah all right so uh the collaboration uh they say oh they say it was a one off project oh that's tough uh they say initiated late at night
Starting point is 00:04:47 and No, no Did I read that? Nah, I don't say that. Initiated late at night in Bruno Mars' studio. Man, what type of wizardry Bruno Mars got going on? Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Actually, this is a PG podcast, so I'm not going to tell you something. But let me just say that y'all can probably fill in the blanks. That man Bruno Mars knows what he was doing. Yeah, a one-off project. gosh yeah yeah you definitely a one-off project huh so anyways um the overall track was um pretty solid i think what i would say when it comes in regards to the whole video having like a laid back late night aesthetic you know saying the 70s inspired tv studio um
Starting point is 00:05:45 i would say that i am ready for silk sonic two every time bruno mars puts out music that's what i'm gonna say is this leading up to silk sonic two It's one of the bad things about being the artist that puts out a classic body of work is that we just want something that just sounds similar to it. Even if it's not at the same level, because they probably don't want to touch that album because they won like to win song of the year, record of the year, best R&B performance, best R&B song in the same Grammy Award show is unheard of. Like usually they try to spread it out like goodness man, you want everything, you know, from one album. it's a little hard to top um so i don't think they're gonna try to top it but when you hear stuff like this with lady gaga still shows you that he can get into that bag of just a straight hit as far as uh sonically and i would just rather him do it with anderson pack like just create
Starting point is 00:06:40 the r&b version of outcast like literally that's what i thought they was doing but i guess not man i guess not anderson pack out here lord knows what he doing like but uh but uh you know Bruno Mars is just taking huge hiatus is like this man's the R&B version of Kendrick you know so Anyways um what else so this track is going to be pushed by lady Gaga's upcoming movie Joker I forgot she was an upcoming movie Set to premiere in September hi. It's all making sense now see how we connect the dots you let to see it but um with that she's also been teasing her next album lady god got seven but no release date has been announced
Starting point is 00:07:27 my predictions putting on my analytical hat is that the album will probably come out one to two months after the movie that's what i could probably i probably predict that it will come out a month or two after the movie just to capitalize off of the hype but who knows maybe she'll just switch into it being the soundtrack well no because joker's already said to be like a music cool so yeah i don't know but anyways um as far as that and as far as lady gaga and bruno mars coming to collaborate with this track titled die with a smile out now all dsps click my link to your in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about this specific track and also at the end of the day would you want to see another project from bruno mars and
Starting point is 00:08:17 Anderson Pack.
