According to Bruno, the bones of the album is in place, but he wants to release more singles to let the album breathe as oppose to it being “binge-watched.”

I don’t want to be binge-watched.

We’re really in touch-up mode now. We’ve got the bones of most of the album, so it’s really about touching up parts that need a little more.…

According to Anderson…the album will be worth the wait because they are putting their all into it.

We know what it’s like to be broke and lose parents and to have parents that supported us and battled addiction.

That’s why we are putting so much into this album.

Folks have taken to Twitter to react to the news of the album’s delay.

Peep a few tweets below.

“An Evening with Silk Sonic” not being in the Summer was just a dumb move bc if your whole aesthetic and influence is 70s funk, what makes you think we wanna roller skate in the Winter time when it’s snowing??? Nobody is smart pic.twitter.com/dDXkcyRLEb

Silk Sonic pushing the album back to January 2022 def caught me by surprise. I thought for sure they would drop right before the Grammys eligibility period closed.

Silk Sonic coulda owned the summer and fall, but nope… we gotta wait 5 months for their take on 70s R&B and funk.

Don’t nobody want no roller skating music in the middle of Winter 2022.

Might as well listen to Isley Brothers and Kool & the Gang and nem now pic.twitter.com/Api6qHUipb
