What a fresh talent man. Bruno Mars on the solo tip is really making me stand up and pay attention. His ear for melodies is great, and they’re catchy without you feeling dirty — you know, like after you listen to a Katy Perry or Ke$ha song. Pop sensibilities with real substance so to speak. “Just The Way You Are” by itself had really grown on me — the lyrics are simple yet very poetic and beautiful. You rarely hear a song like this on Black radio I feel like (if they even play this song…). Bruno takes the theme in the video to the next level with a cool effect and playing and singing to a girl while being respectful and tasteful.
I liked it a lot basically.
I’m genuinely looking forward to his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans, which is out October 5th. He even laced Cee-Lo on that “F**k You” joint, too. Nice!
