Silk Sonic wrapped their Las Vegas residency earlier this month. The no-phones-allowed set was “a well-sequenced, true mastery in visual storytelling,” as VIBE described in our official review.
As fans await news of a tour or second residency extension, the vinyl for An Evening With Silk Sonic arrives on August 26. Interested customers can pre-order through their official website or get exclusive, alternate versions at Walmart and Target. Their cover of Con Funk Shun’s “Love Train” will be featured on the vinyl.
