Great review! Agree! This album is perfect. Haven't heard a perfect album since Thriller and Purple Rain. This was such a badass performance. Silk Sonic captured the epitome of what soul train was about. Masterpiece album. Iconic duo

It would not be right of me at all to let this comment pass without highly recommending to you Childish Gambino's "Awaken, My Love!" album, I'm not sure if you've heard that Donald's a rapper (as well as of course, being a well-loved actor too), but the album itself is a modern classic already and heavily influenced by Prince. As well as tapping into Funkadelic and, pre-dating Silk Sonic's Bootsy Collins worship on "After Last Night" by quite literally sampling I'd Rather Be With You for Gambino's lead single - of which, you may even have heard - "Redbone". Bless you if you've already heard it and I've just info-dumped for no reason :) But, I don't know many front-to-back listens that top it. Don't let his "rapper" status fool you, Donald Glover really blessed us with the most soulful and timeless vocals of the 2010's, even halfway through at 2016, as a young punk and metal fan it was my first introduction to real funk and classic rnb sounds and I maybe wouldn't have fallen so deeply in love with it all until Silk Sonic, without AML. 💜💙🤘

We need a vinyl asap!

The 70s, my era, when Motown ruled the soul industry and Soul Train was thee show to watch every week. I learned to dance by watching Michael Jackson AND the line dancers on Soul Train!! The moves Silk Sonic is doing is some of what I did at the clubs. lol Anyway, when I first heard this, I screamed and kept screamin at every little move they all made. And how about that Anderson? As far as I know, he hasn't performed like this before. With singing, rapping AND keeping in step with the choreo! Dang! And no words about Bruno's moves. How great was this performance including the end of the show when they did Smokin Out The Window? smh That LIVE stuff is the best when it comes to Bruno Mars!

They went to the next level. Great combination this is fantastic. Bruno and Anderson are great combinations. The whole package is good and the song perfects the men are on point.

I agree with you. I am 74 and this is my music. Love everything about this album!!

To me, there hadn't been a perfect album since II by Boyz II Men, until this one. This is everything music was ever meant to be. ETA. oh, also, Paak's shiny chest... I heard in a review how it looks like his tattoos are his shirt in the Silk Sonic videos/during their live performances. I don't know why, but I thought that was such an ingenious point.

You are so right! That's why I don't like rappers today. In the 90's you never confused them. You never mixed up Snoop Dog with Jay Z or Tupac with Nas. Everyone had their own flow.

Here's a few suggestions to show their diversity. Six60 - Closer (Lyric video), Don't Forget Your Roots, Up There (Lyric video), Rest Of You, Lost ft Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra (360p on Vimeo) L.A.B (live at Roundhead/Massey Studio) -In the Air, Rocketship, My Brother, Natural, Yes I Do, Fashion Dread, Mr Reggae, Proud Man.

Your review is the most accurate. The seventies were my 'hey days' :) It is pure seventies. Bootsy's Rubber Band influence is all over the album. It is by far the best complete album in the past 10 - 15 years, at least.

Great Reaction! Silk Sonic also performed "Smoking out the Window" Silk Sonic opened & closed the 2021 Soul Train awards performed at yesss sir The Apollo! It's fantastic! I hope you do a reaction to that as well!

Loved the reaction! The dance steps are so smooth. Did you see that spin, so cool! Go Silk Sonic! The Soul Train memory was refreshing.

This song gives me Parliament/Earth Wind & Fire vibes.

This is fun! I was very young when I first saw Soul Train. Remembered Mom shrieks “There goes Cheryl!”. Seems like Cheryl Song was her fave dancer. haha! The train I remembered was colorful. And there were risers on the dance floor. Am glad you dressed up the part. It’s entertaining to see you done it, and dancing as well. 👍🏻🎶🤗💕🇺🇸

The Soul Train scramble board, yeah I heard that too, this song was funk heavy, Silk Sonic is bringing us back to when music was music, yes I remember Jet Magazine

TRUTH! I get all the voices and songs mixed up right now. I can't tell one from another. and I don't care--which is worse. So that is why this Silk Sonic funk/soul revival is soooo dear to my heart--we NEED this right now.

Exactly! Ain't no "mumble rapping" going on!

I would love to see it be trendy for men to dress like they are dressing in their videos, So classy and sexy.

Soul Train then American Bandstand every Saturday in the 70's. I waited and watched. Then the cool songs were played that night at the Skating Rink. Awesome way to live for me and my friends. Love this. The Asian chick had really long hair. I remember!🎶💕💕

Back in my young Afro years...for me...like you stated Soul Train, then American Bandstand and then the remainder of the day was spent listening to the Spinners, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Moments, Blue Magic, The Ojays, Natalie Cole, Melba Moore, Earth Wind & Fire, The Main Ingredients, Stevie Wonder, The Emotions, Deniece Williams, The Temptations, etc, from my old neighborhood. 😎

Yes... The Soul train scramble board was right on time with the whole show!! 😎🤗 This brought back so many good memories from the 70s..

I remember seeing this kind of music when I was 4~5 years old.. AFKN channel.. Soul train!!( in korea) AHaaaa. Nostalgia..I was very young, but it remains in my memory and I still find it and listen to it.. My father played Boney M every time at travel

Scramble Board ! 😍

Jet magazines were weekly. Page 37

Thats my jam as well. Bump it everyday

they didnt do the "Bankhead Bounce" dance, So this is a mixture of both decades. masks are cool with me!

Perfection! OMG, that's how the soul train dancers sound like they used to. All they missed were playing the damn whistles. Wow! Jet, Essence & Ebony?? Hell yea. Every black household had those magazines. A staple.

Fire & Desire = a great nod and homage to the legendary Rick James & Teena Marie song!

You brought back several nostalgic moments. I do remember the Soul Train Board. On a couple of shows they had trouble spelling the names! As usual a great performance from Silk Sonic. The band was jammin' throughout the song! The album is a Masterpiece!!!

Loved your response!!! The board is the Soul Train Scramble Board and I miss Don Cornelius, Love, Peace and Soul!!! 😎

They aren't. These folks seem to be a lot younger. There's a new series on KZread featuring old Soul Train dancers called 'I used to be a Soul Train Dancer". Each episode focuses on one dancer who talks about their experience on the show and shows clips of them dancing on the show back in the day.

I love your look . great reaction I even learn some things❤

I couldn't be a backup singer for this song. I'd be too busy dancing to sing! Also, that drummer is killing back there! Jet magazine? Don't forget Ebony and for us New Yorkers. The Amsterdam News. Those were the days! Your commentary on today's music is spot on. Everything and everyone sounds the same. It's like rinse and repeat. Originality seems non existent and when they perform most just stagger around the stage, in front of a million dollar set. When the set behind you is more interesting than your performance, something's wrong.

I was only aware of Paak from his interactions with BTS so I'm just learning about him now and I wouldn't have watched Silk Sonic if it weren't for you. You vibing makes my day.

That other perfect album with multiple Billboard hits was Thriller by Michael Jackson. The Asian female dancer on Soul Train was Cheryl Song. Here's the KZread video with her talking about how she became one of the regular Soul Train dancers: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYiexqRsZpnImMY.html The dancer partners who worked the scramble board were indeed told the name of the person or music artist before they unscrambled the name. I first heard this by watching clips of past Soul Train dancers telling what went on behind the scene with the scramble board.

The Wall was a Pink Floyd album. I think you mean "Off the Wall" by MJ. BOTH are PERFECT albums so no worries 😁

I love that they chose to do this type of music instead of the crap this generation make this the kinda music I grew up listening to with my mom but I know the to the Asian woman you talking bout with long hair that went pass her butt

Silk Sonic needs to stop their stuff!!! Time travel: my BFF braiding my hair in intricate cornrows.

Please, if you could react to "UVERworld - nanokame no ketsui" ... Title: UVERworld - the decision on the seventh day Be sure to watch the English subbed version. You will want to read the lyrics instead of watch the video (TRUST ME IT'S that amazing)... imo There's only literally 1 reaction, and the lyrics are so beautiful, the language is so beautiful in this song. Maybe you won't react to it, but it is a genuine musical treat.. It's a beautiful Japanese song, and the music video concept is so heart wrenching. I really understand that maybe you won't like japanese rock music, but this song is so beautiful. I don't want to spoil it.. I will share the first line of lyrics, please think about it. The music video is so well done, it tells such a beautiful story. "You are a singing cicada in the dreaming of winter"

Hey Monq! 👋 I really like this album too. And it's the one concert I'd want to attend despite COVID. Distinguishable -- is the word I believe you were seeking when you said you can't tell one performer from another. ① I blame the record companies first of all for creating that mess. They see an artist with a hit song ascending the charts so that's the act and sound they have their artists follow. ② Then there are those 𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 who feel "ooooh, I can do that" and imitate what they've heard. But what makes me curious is you used to react to Korean Pop performers. To my ears, so few of them are distinguishable and so little of it compels me to make a purchase. I find myself returning to only three groups, a few subUnits formed from those groups and a few of their soloists. How did you do it? React so positively to so much, I mean?
