Silk Sonic Show Off Smooth Moves As They Accept Song Of The Year Grammy

Over each year immediately after they performed it at the 63rd Grammy Awards, Silk Sonic have won the coveted Song of the Year Award at the 64th Grammys for “Leave the Door Open.” Composed of superstar artists Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic have secured three other nominations at this year’s ceremony, including Record of the Year, Best R&B Efficiency, and Best R&B Song. They won in the latter category before the telecast in a tie with Jazmine Sullivan’s “Pick Up Your Feelings.”


Mars, .Paak, and the song’s co-writer and producer Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II took to the stage to accept the award, dancing up to the podium.


“I just desire to mention thank you to my team and my family member, my pretty partner out there,” D'Mile said.“This is for my mom [singer Yanick Etienne]. She passed on Wednesday.”


“Because of you, me and [Anderson .Paak] will be singing this song forever, so God bless you all.” Mars added.


The duo opened the show with a Vegas-themed efficiency of “777” from their collaborative album An Evening With Silk Sonic. Donning ’70s-inspired costumes, Mars showed off his guitar chops, while .Paak kept the beat going on the drums, rocking a bowl cut. The two were joined by a full musical group, who added infectious horns to the electrifying set.
