Check it out below.
“Leave the Door Open” was produced by Bruno Mars and D’Mile; was written by Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, D’Mile and Brody Brown. A press release notes that the pair was named Silk Sonic by Bootsy Collins. A night with Silk Sonic is due later this year, but currently has no release date.
