What exactly did we do to deserve an Anderson .Paak/Bruno Mars collaboration (Dr. Fauci, can you please explain to us why this is happening?).

I’m not going to lie, last week, I almost s**ted myself when I found out that Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars were dropping something this week. The good news is this: After listening to “Leave The Door Open,” I can honestly say that the s**t you smell that is coming from my direction is s**ts of joy!

Someone is going to have to convince me that “Leave The Door Open” was made in 2021. The song features an instrumental that is similar to the instrumentals that our parents made us to, melodies that are radical (Remember when people used to call things that were cool ‘radical’ back in the day?), and lyrics that simply won’t fly in today’s world (Why the f**k would I leave my door open if people like Chris D’Elia exists). I will say this, though: There are a few melodies in the song (Specifically, the melody that Anderson .Paak starts the song off with) that reminds me of some s**t that I heard in this decade.

“Leave The Door Open” is a well-crafted/vintage-sounding/smooth gem that will save a few people’s marriages.
