This will be my first time reviewing a GAN so bear with me. I'm excited though!

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:
· · ·

Paak's lyrics usually address contemporary matters...which are not represented on the record. — suggest "While .Paak's lyrics usually adress contemporary matters...these are not represented on the record."
"Leave the Door Open" and "Smokin out the Window", which were commercially successful, while "Skate" charted moderately, "Love's Train" and "After Last Night" had minor commercial success. — would change to ""Leave the Door Open" and "Smokin out the Window", which were commercially successful, "Skate", which charted moderately, and "Love's Train" and "After Last Night", which both had minor commercial success." the original wording doesn't flow very well.
Would remove the second paragraph in the Background section. Information is already addressed in the Release and promotion section so it's kinda redundant. It also reads as if the album's title wasn't An Evening with Silk Sonic.
derived from old-school Motown influence. — link "Motown"
Silk Sonic decided not to address the police killings and the pandemic on their music. — change to "in their music."

For the most part, prose and background sections look good after those are tweaked.

It is the most acclaimed studio album of Mars' career and .Paak's second most, after Malibu. — according to whom? Not addressed later in the article and is a very broad claim.

Not too many edits on a day to day basis, looks good.

Artwork has non free use rationale and has a suitable caption. No other media on the page, looks good.
