‘Fly As Me’ by Silk Sonic
An R&B act by Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak

Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak set this year’s Soul Train Awards off in style with their jazzy tune Fly As Me. The song features on the risqué ensemble’s newest album – An Evening With Silk Sonic – and makes for a stellar opening act with its funky beats, freaky lyrics and fascinating fusion melody. The perfect medley of 70s retro beats, the song is a wicked fusion of funk, rap, and old-school R&B. Its lyrics are slightly over the top, but then again, it’s a Bruno Mars's song!
Donning shades and shirts that score high on the sleek scale, Silk Sonic’s Fly As Me performance was one to remember. A duo that has the power to reel anyone onto the dance floor, .Paak let it rip with his rap verses while Mars’ slinky moves dotted the performance, leaving listeners fighting the urge to break into a jig.
