Bruno Mars says Silk Sonic — the R&B duo consisting of himself and Anderson .Paak — have withdrawn their album “An Evening With Silk Sonic” from consideration for the 2023 Grammy Awards.
Bruno Mars has announced that Silk Sonic — the R&B duo consisting of himself and Anderson .Paak — have withdrawn their album “An Evening With Silk Sonic” from consideration for the 2023 Grammy Awards, he told“We truly put our all on this record, but Silk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year,” Mars said. “We hope we can celebrate with everyone on a great year of music and partake in the party.
But Mars says, “we’d be crazy to ask for anything more. Andy and I, and everyone that worked on this project, won the moment the world responded to ‘Leave The Door Open.’ Everything else was just icing on the cake,” he says. “We thank the Grammys for allowing us to perform on their platform — not once but twice — and awarding us at last year’s ceremony.”
Grammy nominations do not happen automatically: Recordings must be submitted by a representative, usually the artist’s record label, and if an artist does not want their music submitted, it amounts to a withdrawal. It’s also possible that Mars was cutting off a similar backlash before it could begin: With both Lamar and Beyonce — not to mention Adele — as front-runners for 2023 nominations, it could be argued that Mars’ and Silk Sonic’s decision is a very smart career move.
