I was at a coffeehouse playing top-40 radio yesterday, and every song for a good half-hour or more was written, co-written, or performed by Bruno Mars.

this story is so shocking to me, people on coke usually make such great music

In the current Pop landscape of futuristic super villains with drum machines, Bruno Mars is just very bland.

i think in 'lazy song' he's saying he's waking up late to p90x, like, the infomercials that are on in that time between mid-morning and mid-afternoon that lazy people wake up.

other than the fact that the 2 best-sounding songs are about gold diggin' womens the album is pretty refreshingly devoid of the kind of missteps that generally put people off bruno mars

I quite like the new single, it sounds very Police inspired. Not sure I can ever forgive him for The Lazy Song though.
― Kitchen Person, Saturday, 15 December 2012 07:48 (eleven years ago) link
yeah this album is actually quite strong. the only track i don't like is "gorilla" b/c the image of bruno mars doing it like a gorilla is slightly repulsive to me but hooray for the other tracks

if i don't fux with the single is there any chance i'll like this?

sure, nothing else on the album is like "locked out of heaven" at all
― some dude, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 12:33 (eleven years ago) link
"treasure" is really good although it doesn't sound like a radio hit. his voice still sounds like someone trying to impress judges on "american idol" which kinda ruins it for me, but there's shockingly good moments on this album. i wish the chorus of "locked out of heaven" was more rewarding. the verses are great though.
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 06:19 (eleven years ago) link
i really really love the bridge of locked out of heaven because, like, for a Police rip to suddenly do Stewart Copeland quarter-notes on the bell of the ride cymbal is like a Weird Al-level attention to detail.

always had a soft spot for bruno, some of this is v immaculately completed paint by numbers but i'm more fond of "show me" & "locked out of heaven". shades of fellow behatted hate object jamiroquai on "treasure", feels appropriate. he'd be suited to a cover of "too young to die"
