i like it enough that i probably won't change the station when it inevitably comes on but something about it leaves me cold. like a number of his other pastiches it's almost too on the nose.
it got me wondering, what was the last bruno mars single i liked that wasn't obvious pastiche? (i know that's, like, the majority of his output from "locked out of heaven" onward.) maybe "it will rain"? and it took me a while to warm up to that.

and i really liked "versace on the floor"! can't say i'm surprised it wasn't big but i would have welcomed it.

still not tired of uptown funk when it comes on. that song is like 20 pastiches.

“that’s what i like” is not an obvious pastiche

Ahah « Finesse » could almost be one of the 90s New Jack parodies J Timberlake made like 10y ago...Bruno Mars’ « Dick in a tiny box », girls.

oh right i forgot about "that's what i like" (even tho i still hear it all the time), that is a good one! + hits the spot as far as being referential but not eye-rollingly nostalgic
