Silk Sonic, the American pop duo that’s made up of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, have been dominating the entertainment space in recent months with both the lead up to, and release of their brand new album, An Evening With Silk Sonic.
The first single, Leave The Door Open, which was shared early in the year, took the world by storm. It rose to the number one spot on hundreds of charts, won countless awards and has been streamed and downloaded multitudinously. With numbers like these one can – without actually hearing the song – accurately speculate that it sounds amazing. It’s well written, produced and delivered. As far as songs goes, Leave The Door Open is perfect!
After reading the preceding paragraph one would think that there is no way it can be improved upon. But all that was until veteran reggae artist Anthony Cruz shared his version.
At the beginning of October, Cruz, in partnership with Tad’s Record, unleashed the reggae remix of Leave The Door Open. As it’s been known to do, the pulsating reggae drum and bass, combined with the strumming of the keys and guitar, takes the record to whole new level. Also worth noting is Anthony Cruz‘s vocal prowess, which enabled him to hit notes not frequently attempted by many singers.
The global reggae community welcomed the more familiar version of an already very popular song, so much so that it has been, and continues to get heavy radio spins and feature on music platforms worldwide.
The overwhelming positive reaction to the song led to the creation of some visuals, which were faultlessly presented.
