Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. If you ask music
Speaker 1: insiders and awards experts, it was all but a luck.
Speaker 1: It's silk Sonic, the sultry funk deo that Bruno, Mars
Speaker 1: and Anderson pack makeup, will be nominated in multiple categories
Speaker 1: and next year's Grammys and be a frontrunner for several
Speaker 1: of the show's biggest prizes. But the Gentleman opted to
Speaker 1: not even submit their album and evening with Silk Sonic
Speaker 1: for consideration, and it isn't in protest, similar to other
Speaker 1: artists like The Weekend whose boycotted it for a few
Speaker 1: years now. The primary reason is that they felt like
Speaker 1: they already won, and that's not entirely untrue. They did
Speaker 1: take home four trophies last year for their lead single,
Speaker 1: Leave the Door Open, including Song and Record of the Year,
Speaker 1: but their full album arrived after submissions were closed, so
Speaker 1: they could have gone for more. But Bruno tell's Rolling Stone,
Speaker 1: we truly put our all on this record, but Silk
Speaker 1: Sonic would like to gracefully and humbly bow out of
Speaker 1: submitting our album this year. We hope we can celebrate
Speaker 1: with everyone on a great year of music and partake
Speaker 1: in the party, thank you for letting Silk Sonic thrive.
Speaker 1: Anderson simply adds they'd be crazy to ask for anything
Speaker 1: more that's direct from Hollywood.
