The horns and drums arrangement really updated the song. Their vocals are so smooth! Bruno 'I love you baby" chills! Anderson ' I bet you do, bet you do, bet you do! So smooth. Go Silk Sonic! Thank you for you exciting reaction!
Confunkshun has always been one of my favorite groups. This brings back memories. They paid proper homage. Silk Sonic truly can't miss. Everything they sing is pure gold.
From Bruno Mars' IG: This is one of Silk Sonic’s favorite songs originally recorded by the group Con Funk Shun. Every time Anderson .Paak and I get behind instruments we play this. We love this song so much we wanted to sing it for y’all. Happy Valentines Day Beautiful people. Producers: Bruno Mars and D'Mile
@@DaBrakes They are doing a residency in Las Vegas right now, so I am quite sure that there will definitely be another project simply because everyone is feeling their partnership in music. They definitely found their niche together.
I would suggest to ALL Y’all that HAVE NOT the HEARD THE original CONFUNKSHUN song, Please do, then will really appreciate the cover and original. LETS NOT FORGET R&B! 👍🏽
Thanks for your reaction. Perfect! Someone said that this song is a perfect showcase for them-Andy’s deep and soulful chords on the verses and Bruno falsetto vocals on the chorus. And the instrumentation!
So cool! It’s rare to hear a remake that sounds like an improvement, an upgrade, or just more preferable for varied reason. I was a teen in that era, attending arts school with musicians who’ve done very well. Probably heard the original but can’t recall. EW&F was so huge back then. One thing that’s admirable here is that the real instruments that the original was imitating with keyboards: horns, real electric bass, strings. Also ConFunkShun was reminiscent of Kool & The Gang in that their vocals were sung by instrumentalists who sang. With the exception of Philip Bailey, Earth Wind & Fire were also instrumentalists who sang, but they seriously invested in developing their vocal technique & dance movement into high entertainment skills, wit next level results. Silk Sonic, while absorbing the style of the o.g. soul, funk, r&b stylists, come at it with an EW&F level quality of total musicianship skills, detailed musicality & passion. Some may not dig it but it can be cool to build, similar to sports. Great reaction! 👍
@@wakeupstopsleeping6300 No doubt! If you check the interview with 2 of the ConFunkShun leaders, seems like they really dug it & may have reaped some work opportunities.
Loved your reaction! Fun Fact:. Felton Pilate ll one of the writers of this song complimented Silk Sonic and said he was honored and loved their interpretation of the song.
Like a very unexpected Valentine. I am familiar with the original- from back in that day! It is lush, sexy, and delicious! Tight harmonies, audacious ad libs (Andy, Andy, Andy!!) All the feels in that fantastic falsetto ( croon, Bruno, croon!!) . Silk Sonic has done it again 🙌Issa panties on the stage banger! 👏
I didn't think anyone could do it! They did it! Represented Vallejo, California! Con Funk Shun absolute Classic! Felton Pilate and Michael Cooper must be so proud! And hopefully laughing all the way to the bank! Go Silk Sonic!!!
Loved your reaction. I keep saying I was jamming in the 70’s as a child but this was early 80’s and I STILL listen to this song. I was genuinely happy they covered it. Made it better but I still love both versions
@@angiemorris1918 correct but I didn’t want to be a geek 😂😂😂 Any song I hear I can remember where I was or how old I was or what year it was when it was released.
Been waiting for you to react to this, I knew you'd love it! I've got no issues with Silk Sonic pumping out covers of old school classics, keep them comin'! We still want a 2nd album though, and a UK tour (preferably this year). Not too much to ask I don't think!😅 Love your reactions man keep doing what you're doing👌❤
The truth is that you need a video with any theme just to see the gestures when singing such a beautiful cover!!! Greetings from Rio Tercero, Córdoba Argentina dad!!
LOVE IT I ALWAYS LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG FROM BACK IN THE DAY I LOVE CON FUNK SHUN MUSIC THAT MICHAEL COOPER ONE OF THE BEST BRUNO MARS & ANDERSON PAAK DID AN AMAZING JOB I JUST LOVE THESE TWO & WHAT THEY ARE DOING THEY DEFINITELY DID THIS SONG JUSTICE KEEP THEM COMING LOVE YOUR REACTION 😊👍💯🔥🔥🔥
I love your comments on the Silk Sonic tracks. I can tell your truly enjoying this music. My high school sweetheart and I loved this song when we were in high school over thirty years ago. It is soooooo good to hear it by Silk Sonic. They are changing the game. Fantastic album! Thank Brakes really love your channel.
Love your reaction! There are other Covers and the original that is really good, but Silk Sonic version is more meaningful, heartfelt and sensual!! Their Cover is more sexy to me!! Better than the original in my opinion. Silk Sonic is GOAT!! They are CLASSIC!! Silk Sonic is going BIG!!! Their voice, their tone and the BEATS is badass in this drop!! Damn, I LOVE these fellas!!! Well done, Silk Sonic!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
CONFUNKSHUN loves TRAIN is about a LOVE affair *(LOVE TRIANGLE 🔺️) of REALITY regarding 🎤MICHAEL COPPER leader/lead singer AND BAND MATE 🎹KEYBOARDEST. They both were interestingly involved with the same woman.
Loved your reaction and I echo your thoughts. I have a few Con Funk Shun songs in my collection but more upbeat ones, so I was new to this track too. I love it when a new cover or even a sample introduces me to something cool from the past. They paid full respect to the original with this, while also putting their own gorgeous flavour on it. Silk Sonic are the best thing to happen to music in quite a while. 💕💕💕
Yes the soulful jammers 🥁🎹🎸are back 🙌 and I am so 🙏 grateful. This resuscitation of the funk & R&B beat is glorious. Hoping for more from Silk Sonic both originals and cover. What this music 🎶 genre does is provides a vaccine to this current generation to bring back social and sexual interactions between men and women just awesome. This coming from an OG who used to play in a cover band and was there back in the day. The additional thing is they also add their own seasoning yet keeping the foundation in place. Please keep tracking and reviewing their soulful journey and you may get a new subscriber. Take care and be well mate and thanks for providing a good critique. 😎
As of today Silk Sonic has a Las Vegas residency for selected dates from February 25 thru May 29. Then Andy and the Free Nationals will be one of the opening acts (June 25 thru July 9, 2022 in Europe) for the Red Hot Chili Peppers stadium tour.
Omg soooo obsessed with this song atm listening to it while shopping at aldi strutting like a bad bitch 😆also loved your reaction pulling the same faces and hand movements I make listening to it lol and refreshing hearing an English person too

Love this
I thought that it could not get better than the original, but these two cats are unstoppable. I totally loved you reaction.
It would be tragic if we didn’t get another project from these two 😩
@@DaBrakes They are doing a residency in Las Vegas right now, so I am quite sure that there will definitely be another project simply because everyone is feeling their partnership in music. They definitely found their niche together.
They definitely did this Con Funk Shun cover justice. They are mine and my sister's favorite band of all time!
You must have loved this cover then 👍🏾

I’m so annoyed I haven’t heard of Con Funk Shun before this cover version! They sound like a vibe 🔥
Best music back in the day live bands one of my favorite band love to hear them cover straight from the heart by Con funk shun
Waiting to hear your reaction after hearing the original! Your reaction is top notch!
Thanks Judith! 🙌🏾
They replace the synth with horns. It was a smart shift
The original has horns also. Con Funk Shun was known for their horn section.

Appreciate this Ben 👊🏾
Love what you said.
Have been waiting for you to react to this! Thank you so much 😊
🙌🏾🙌🏾🤞🏾
Candles flickering, new headphones, Bruno and Andy singing Love's Train. Just the right surroundings for new Silk Sonic music.
Oh yes! 🙌🏾
I am a big of this one from back in the 70's. Best instrumentals ever. Personally I'm waiting for these guys to cover
Change is gonna come. Sam Cooke.
At this stage I’d take any cover song by them 🤣
Bro, of all the reactions that I have watched and heard you have the nicest audio and video quality. Thanks for your great reaction. 🥰
Ah thanks Queen.. I try and keep it professional so glad you noticed.. Thanks for taking the time to let me know 💕
They killed this
This awesome remake of con funk shun's original was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Con funk shun made the original check it out they did a amazing job remaking this
Definitely going to have to do just that!
Vibe Sir, viiiiibe!!! Babies are coming this fall and winter.
You better believe it
You know they have a tour set up? beginning in Vegas
I’m hoping they come to the UK.. Vegas will be INSANE!
As of today Silk Sonic has a Las Vegas residency for selected dates from February 25 thru May 29. Then Andy and the Free Nationals will be one of the opening acts (June 25 thru July 9, 2022 in Europe) for the Red Hot Chili Peppers stadium tour.
@@DaBrakes And I'll be there in April for it too. I get a twofer; Silk Sonic and the Grammy's in Vegas. Can't wait.
Good job bro🙌🤙
Cheers buddy 👍🏾

Yes! Aldi Crew!!🙌🏾 Would have loved to have seen this! 🤣 Appreciate the love 💕
Out of respect for the original, there will not be a video.
Why can't today's artist get a reaction to their own songs. The music sounds distorted and the singing sounds like karaoke. Sorry. 👎
I think Silk Sonic did a nice but please listen to the original, I think it’s disrespectful to the original artist!
The original is great 👍🏾
I think this song is for cheaters
🤣
