I know not everyone here is into current music, but the sound, production and vocals make this sound like I am listening to a 1970's song. Bruno Mars sort of had that retro sound going on Treasure back in 2013, but this just is on another level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLGHcj_fmA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLGHcj_fmA I usually never make a recommendation on what song to listen to as this is not a like/dislike board but every so often someone manages to capture the sound long gone from today's music and it makes my ears rejoice. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

Yes Richie,
Anderson Paak & Bruno decided to make a Delfonics record with that one and the world is better for it! It's great that it's cool with younger audiences as well as fans of '70s Soul. Andy |

They performed the song at the recent Grammy Awards and
I have been playing it over and over since. It's currently a big R&B chart song. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

The bridge/coda has a Stevie Wonder type vibe to it.
Very Thom Bell Philly style classic soul. |

Happy to see it released as a CD single (two actually, the
latter with the live Grammy performance). Limited editions, alas, and they're already getting expensive. |

I prefer the cold ending on the live version. It's also
available as a digital download. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

What is the proper artist credit for this single - Silk
Sonic only or should Mars and Paak be credited as well? It reminds me of the late 1980s when you had the Traveling Wilburys and the Trio. The former did not credit its members individually, but the latter did (Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt). |

I see this song has just moved up to #1 on the
Hot 100 chart. I still have yet to hear either version, but I was just wondering which of the two would be considered the "Hit" version - the Studio or Live Version? Is the Live Version getting airplay at all? If a CD Single was released for it, I imagine it must be getting some amount of airplay. ------------- Dan In Philly |

The studio version is the one they play here where I am in New York Dan. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

BTW - this has a listed time of 4:08 but runs 3:58. This edit cannot be re-created from the LP version. (Just kidding... carry on) :D |

For anyone that wants to know there are 3 versions out:
1) A 3:44 Radio Edit which does not appear to be available via download 2) A 4:02 which is available on download sites 3) A 4:20 which is the 2021 Live version I'm not aware of anything else that is available. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

I played this song the weekend I first received it through
POOL and got an immediate positive response from some regulars in a restaurant I play at when I don't have weddings or other events. Of course, these regulars love any Bruno Mars. It wasn't a hit, but one of their other Bruno favorites is "Chunky." Luckily, before they stopped their service, PrimeCuts had a clean version. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

Is the 3:44 version perhaps an early fade of the 4:02
version? ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |
