Silk Sonic — the duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak — will not submit their album An Evening With Silk Sonic for Grammy consideration, Mars reveals to Rolling Stone in a statement.

“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 says. “We hope we can celebrate with everyone on a great year of music and partake in the party. Thank you for letting Silk Sonic thrive.”

An Evening With Silk Sonic — released in Nov. 2021 to rave reviews — was expected by critics to receive multiple nominations, and be a top contender for Album of the Year at the 2023 Grammys. Its lead single “Leave the Door Open” swept all four categories it was nominated in during April’s ceremony, including Song and Record of the Year. Now, Mars says, “we’d be crazy to ask for anything more.”

That's fair. It's a strong album and doesn't need a lot to prove how amazing it is.

Adele is going to win then

Ohh I really thought they were going to win next year. I guess that leaves 30 and Renaissance as the front runners right now. Lowkey hoping Motomami snatches it.

I think that's great sportsmanship. Plus it must be a lot of pressure and pretty exhausting to be the guy who wins all the awards and has to come up with 5 speeches lol

[Robo Ga 15,189]

This is actually a great PR move because they were definitely at risk of overexposure after sweeping last year with the single. Maybe they foresaw the backlash and decided to step back

It means when you've had too much already and your legs kinda bow out and you have to bow out from the next round

Thanks. I thought you meant when someone had too much to drink.
