Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have formed a new band called Silk Sonic and they’ve already completed an album that will feature Bootsy Collins.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Bruno inked a deal with Disney to star in and produce a movie that will feature original music from Mars. Details for the plot of the film have yet to be revealed. The artist previously provided voice work on 2014’s Rio 2.
