Silk Sonic won’t be leaving the door open to more Grammy wins this year. The duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak declined to submit their album An Evening With Silk Sonic<\/em> to the Grammys, Mars told Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cSilk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year,\u201d he said in a statement. Last year, Silk Sonic surprised with the most wins of the night \u2014 four including Record and Song of the Year \u2014 for their single \u201cLeave the Door Open.\u201d those wins set An Evening With<\/em> up as a top container in a crowded Album of the Year field, which is expected to include Beyonc\u00e9 (Renaissance<\/em>), Adele (30<\/em>), and Kendrick Lamar (Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers<\/em>). The duo could have earned a few more song nominations too, likely for the single \u201cSmokin Out the Window.\u201d (An Evening With<\/em> was released in November 2021, which qualifies for the current Grammys cycle.) \u201cWe’d be crazy to ask for anything more,\u201d Mars said, adding that the trophies for \u201cLeave the Door Open\u201d were \u201cicing on the cake\u201d to their success. After Silk Sonic’s wins last year, Mars tied the record for most Record of the Year wins by a performer at three (alongside \u201cUptown Funk!\u201d and \u201c24K Magic\u201d), and he has a past Album of the Year win for 24K Magic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

They aren’t the first musicians to withdraw from the Grammys, but they are the rare case of artists doing it for a positive reason. The Weeknd is boycotting the awards after being snubbed for \u201cBlinding Lights\u201d and After Hours<\/em> in 2021 and criticizing the since-disbanded \u201csecret committees\u201d; he could’ve been a top container this year for Dawn FM<\/em>. Drake, who previously the awards, also withdrew from competition last year after his two nominations were already announced. Pitchfork has since reported that he did not submit his album Honestly, Nevermind<\/em> for 2023 consideration. Now, with this year set to relitigate past controversies like Adele’s win over Beyonc\u00e9 for 25<\/em> and Taylor Swift’s win over Lamar for 1989<\/em>, could more artists be set to follow Silk Sonic’s steps? Maybe chief Beyhive member Adele?<\/p>\n
