Bruno Mars

Post by Philaflava »

It's not cool to admit this I suppose, but this dude is phenomenal. Everything he touches turns to gold (platinum). Personally, that Message In A Bottle remake "Locked Out of Heaven" might be my favorite non-rap song in awhile.

Dude is too talented and I'm a fan.

I really like that song and for a while I just assumed it was some The Police song I'd never heard before. Any other songs worth checking out that you'd recommend?

Moo - I don't know if I'm the one to suggest songs because I don't even own an album of his. His hooks are what brought him to my attention (Nothing On You, Billionaire). Grenade, Lazy Song and Just The Way You Are are his more popular tunes. I haven't delved into his catalog though.

His newest album is pretty good...he's a talented song writer. The first album is hot garbage and you can skip it. I agree with Alaska...he has a very thin and unremarkable voice. Having said all that..."Moonshine" was one of the best songs of last year.

Str8 :arrow: ; I've heard that fucking "Today I don't feel like doing anything..." song so many times I'd rather live on Mars (nh @ "live on Mars").

the lazy song sucks but locked out of heaven song and video are both really dope. grenade i didnt care for got until i saw the video--really smartly done and brings new depth and emotion to the song. directed by nabil (the new weeknd video, frank ocean, nas and damien marley, kanye)

Was talking about him at work, how his music isn't really my style but he always brings it when he performs on tv. But yeah, Locked Out Of Heaven might be the song that wins me over. He was also really good on SNL. Dude's gonna be around for a while.
