"Leave the Door Open" is the debut single by the American super-duo Silk Sonic, consisting of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. It was released on March 5, 2021 by Aftermath Entertainment and Atlantic Records as the lead single from Silk Sonic's upcoming debut studio album An Evening with Silk Sonic. "Leave the Door Open" was written by Mars, Brandon Anderson, Dernst Emile II and Christopher Brody Brown, while the production was handled by Mars and D'Mile. "Leave the Door Open" is an R&B and soul song, influenced by quiet storm and inspired by the "1970s Philadelphia soul" groups. Its lyrics are romantic and describe a "detailed erotic invitation".

"Leave the Door Open" received critical acclaim, with some praising both singers' vocals, as well as the song's composition. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number one in various charts, including the US Billboard Hot 100, Malaysia and New Zealand. It has also entered the top ten of several countries, such as Australia, Belgium, Canada and Portugal.

The accompanying music video, which was directed by Florent Dechard and Mars, was released along with the song. It depicts Mars and Paak, as Silk Sonic, performing the song in a vintage studio as several women dance to it. To promote "Leave the Door Open", Mars and Paak performed it at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, which received praise for its simplicity and was compared to a 70's Soul Train telecast. An emote for the online video game Fortnite was also created, which features dance moves by Mars played along the chorus of the song.

Background and release

Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak met in 2017 while touring together on the European leg of Mars' 24K Magic World Tour (2017–18). During this time, the two were seen in the studio working with Nile Rodgers and Guy Lawrence of Disclosure.[1] In an interview with New Zealand radio DJ Zane Lowe for the Apple Music podcast Beats 1, Paak said the song required a lot of "patience and delicate" to create. He added, "A lot of meat went into this song." Mars lamented the lack of live performances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, adding "While I'm writing songs, that's a part of my whole thing. It goes to like, 'I can't wait till people hear this.' He added, 'I can't wait to play this for people. I can't wait to be with my band.'"[2] In late February 2021, Bruno Mars and Paak announced on social media the formation of their new band Silk Sonic and revealed the artwork for their debut studio album, titled An Evening with Silk Sonic. They also announced the release of the first single on March 5, 2021.[3]

"Leave the Door Open" is an R&B and soul song, influenced by quiet storm.[14][15][16] It has been described as a "smooth slow jam".[14][17][18] Gil Kaufman of Billboard described it as a "finger-snapping, slinky R&B jam".[2] Its instrumentation includes a "descending guitar glissando", a glockenspiel, "swooning strings", "honeyed backing vocals", "soft piano and smooth vocals".[15][19][20] The song also features key changes, and a contrast between "grainy lead and perfectionist backup vocals".[19] "Leave the Door Open" starts with Paak's "raspy" voice "setting the scene": "We should be dancin', romancin'/ In the east wing and the west wing of this mansion." In the chorus, Mars hopes the female feels the same way he does.[17] Its lyrics are described as a "detailed erotic invitation" with "shameless but witty wordplay".[19][21] Mars and Paak sing to a loved one "to come over for a romantic night with wine, rose petal-laced baths, and more."[22] Katie Atkinson from Billboard described its lyrics as "tongue-in-cheek".[23]

Charlie Harding from Vulture said "Leave the Door Open" shows the "1970s Philadelphia soul" and despite being "serious musically", it is "lighthearted, lyrically." Harding commented that despite feeling nostalgic, it "sounds contemporary" due to Paak's vocal flow. American singer-songwriter Tayla Parx, who has worked previously with Paak, said its modern sound comes from the "conversational" lyrics and Paaks "personality" and silliness. Harding commented that its modern approach can be heard at the end of Paak's first verse, to which Parx responded "You can hear [the early influences] in his voice, but those cadences are still very contemporary". Harding noticed how Paak made the influces heard on the track his own.[16]

Harding commented that Silk Sonic leads the listener into a music journey as they wait for the their lover. It beggins with a "non-resolving chord progression, which never lands in the home key but uses luscious chords" and leaves the listener expecting. Paak is drinking wine and spending time in his mansion, as he waits for his passion. Nevertheless, Mars doesn't allow Paak's fuffilment as he shifts the chords, using a new key. The energy and tension reach new heights as Mars "sets up this big cadence", and while the listener is hopping to reach a "resolution" it enters the "non-resolving chord progression" on the chorus. However, as the latter approaches its end a C major chord is played, Silk Sonic sing "tell me that you're coming through" and it enters into its "resolution".[16]

Various publications compared the track to Mars' Versace on the Floor (2017).[17][18][24] Consequence of Sound's staff along with Mary Siroky also found similarities with Mars' "That's What I Like" (2017).[17] NME's Anna Rose said "Leave the Door Open" was "reminiscent of 60s and 70s easy listening love songs".[25] On the same vein, Zoe Haylock from Vulture dubbed the single a "smooth bedroom classic" as invokes the "'70s slow jams".[5] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times thought Mars' falsetto voice to be close to the Spinners and the Stylistics".[21] Similarly, The New York Times's Jon Pareles compared the "close-harmony seductions" to the ones used by the Spinners, the Manhattans and the Stylistics.[19] Variety writer Jem Aswad compared its style to the Delfonics and the Chi-Lites.[15] MTV News's Patrick Hosken affirmed it is a "throwback to the time of Bobby Womack and Curtis Mayfield.[20] Billboard speculated that the single "plays off the title and chorus" of Teddy Pendergrass' "Close the Door (1978).[23]

Critical reception

"Leave the Door Open" received critical acclaim from music critics. Jenessa Williams from The Guardian found its style to be "impeccable", being "on the right side of pastiche".[26] Consequence of Sound's Wren Graves was impressed by Mars' "liquid whip" voice as Paak "raps and sings through a foggy haze", sounding "like smoke on the water" on the song.[27] The New York Times critic Jon Pareles praised the song's instrumentation, the "showy" key changes, the lyrics and the contrast between the backup and lead vocals, concluding "all good things to revive."[19] Consequence of Sound's staff and Mary Siroky called it "nothing if not luxurious, velvety goodness."[17] Variety writer Jem Aswad called the track "a glorious blast of vintage R&B", Aswad concluded, "the song and the arrangement are pitch-perfect".[15] Billboard's Jason Lipshutz dubbed the single "an ode to stylish yearning that leans in to the throwback charm."[18] Alex Suskind of Entertainment Weekly said it is a modern "take on the Delfonics — with the style and substance to match."[28] Gonçalo Correia writing for Observador felt the track showed "sensuality", with "honey and emotion and the blink of an eye on the lyrics".[29] Josh Glicksman commenting on Billboard "Five Burning Questions" article said the track is "tailor-made to dance and snap along to as it gets delightfully stuck in your head".[30] Carl Lamarre, on a different segment on Billboard Five Burning Questions, called the vocals "buttery" and "too irresistible to pass up". Lamarre contiuned, affirming Silk Sonic "threaded a polished '70s soundscape from top to bottom". On the same segment, Andrew Unterberger described "Leave the Door Open" as "lush Philly soul".[23]

On the other hand, Marc Hogan of Pitchfork criticized the track for turning "'70s soul into a costume drama, without the drama" and for its "skillfully rendered pastiche". Hogan thought it would be the same as listening to "an expertly curated quiet-storm compilation, like David Toop's 1996 Sugar and Poison." He continued its critique dubbing the single a "shag-carpeted and leisure-suited booty-call slow jam...never breaks character long enough to acknowledge the present." Hogan finalized by saying the track is not "postmodern", but "the past in hologram form".[14]

Accolades

Dee Locket from Vulture, included the song on her April list of The Best Songs of 2021 (So Far), saying that the song borrows from the Isley Brothers. Locket finished affirming, "neither is going about musical curiosity the wrong way."[24] Mary Siroky and the Staff from Consequence of Sound considered the song the Top Song of the Week, on March 6, 2021, saying it "wouldn't feel out of place on Mars' 2016 24K Magic album — why mess with a great thing, after all?"[17] Entertainment Weekly Eli Enis and Alex Suskind placed "Leave the Door Open" among The five best songs we heard this week, on March 5, 2021, with "is all come-ons" lyrics and "pitch-perfect harmonies".[28] Dave Holmes writing for Esquire Best Songs of 2021 (So Far) praised "Leave the Door Open", calling it a "flawless tribute to mid-'70s R&B with a key change that will make you stand up and cheer."[31]

Live performances and other usage

The list of performances for the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards was announced on March 7, 2021 and Silk Sonic were not a part of it.[56] Later, Paak told Mars via Twitter they were not part of the list, which led Mars to write a note to the Recording Academy, while jokingly, calling themselves "out of work musicians" that needed "the promotion". Mars continued, saying they would send and audition tape. He finished the letter by saying, "I hope you'll consider this request and give us the opportunity to shine."[56][57][58] Silk Sonic were announced as performers on the show after "playfully campaigning" the week before.[57] The Recording Academy interim president/CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., confessed their performance was not announced in the full lineup in order to create "buzz", but also because there was some uncertainty regarding it. The Grammy's executive producer, Ben Winston, said Mars decided to "have fun and tease" regarding the show. Nevertheless, Winston wanted Paak to perform "Lockdown", however he decided to ask the duo to perform.[59]

They made their performance debut at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, adopting a 70s aesthetic and starry background, accompanied only by two backup singers.[60] The performance featured a "retro flare" similar to the Music Video; Mars, Paak and the back up singers wore three-pices "burnt orange leisure" suits with "wide-collared polyester shirts, bell-bottoms" and "bootcut pants".[53][61][62] They completed their look with sunglasses, Paak wore heart-shaped glasses.[57][62] As Paak sung, Mars and the two back-up singers moved "in unison behind him", dancing in a triangular shape.[57][62][53] Mars would then move into the center replacing Paak, and the latter would sing along with the back-up singers.[62][20] In the background, a "constellation" of "twinkle effects and visual star wipes" rotated.[57][61][63]

The aforementioned performance received positive reviews. Eric Todiso from People affirmed that Silk Sonic "stole the show at the 2021 Grammy Awards". Todiso dubbed the performance as "dazzling and dreamy".[58] Entertainment Weekly's staff considered Silk Sonic's performance to be one of the most memorable moments of the show, reminding the "gloosy '70s style as a Soul Train telecast".[64] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times dubbed Silk Sonic's performance "pointedly retro, shimmery luxury soul."[65] Writing for the latter publication, Ben Sisario, also compared them to the "1970s Soul Train crooners".[66] In a similar opinion, Joe Lynch from Billboard said the perormance was "straight out of Soul Train."[61] Randall Roberts from Los Angeles Times also compared the set to one from 1972's Soul Train. Roberts added, "they delivered a luxurious take on their debut single".[62] MTV News's Patrick Hosken said "It was a mellifluous trip that belonged on Soul Train."[20] Zoe Haylock of Vulture commented Silk Sonic were "channeling the Motown kings within themselves". She enjoyed the "smooth choreography and swaying backup singers."[67] In a mixed review, The Washington Post's Hau Chu despite thinking "the performance sounded sparkling", Chu found their choice to perform strange.[63]
