The new release date for An Evening With Silk Sonic now coincides with Taylor Swift's next release, Red (Taylor's Version). "Got some news that I think you’re gonna like - My version of Red will be out a week earlier than scheduled (including the 4 disc vinyl) on November 12th !" she wrote on Twitter last week. "Can’t wait to celebrate the 13th with you and our new/old autumn heartbreak album."
Swift moved her release date up from Nov. 19, when many fans believe Adele will drop her highly anticipated fourth album.
