Mars' Chart-topping Single Just The Way You Are Is All About Love

By Julia Novak

A well-known producer and writer just before his name was remotely talked about in the similar vein as a solo artist, Bruno Mars is the speak of pop songs appropriate now, but he very nicely may possibly not be the man he seems to be. Catching the ears of a lot of with his appearances on B.o.B.'s Nothin' on You and Travie McCoy's Billionaire (the two of which he also co-wrote), Mars (born Peter Hernandez) and his production team (the Smeezingtons) had been also component of the crew responsible for Cee-Lo's latest viral hit. Don't be fooled: Regardless of particular current lapses in judgement, behind individuals dimples are a calculated hit-generating machine, and Doo-Wops & Hooligans may possibly potentially stand as the most brilliantly formulated album of the year.

Not in the feeling that its modern-in fact, revolutionary is one particular of the least precise techniques of describing the report-but in that Mars methods every of the record's 10 tracks with an audience and a prepare in thoughts, and he conquers. When talking with Idolater late final month, Mars broke this plan down into a pair of easy sentences, On this album, I have records that women are heading to relate to and men are going to relate to. So doo-wops are for the women, and hooligans are for the guys. Innocent enough, but when dissecting his tunes with the premeditated blueprints in head, Doo-Wops & Hooligans starts to expose itself as a thing far a lot more revealing than its generic exterior suggests it to be.

Leading off with Grenade, Mars quickly attacks his 1st target: the ladies. As a series of vague tribal drums builds momentum, heartache drips from Mars' lips as he proceeds through his lyrics, every single of his verses painting himself as the heartbroken victim of romance, I would go through all this pain/Consider a bullet straight via my brain/Yes, I would die for ya infant; but you won't do the exact same. Admittedly he does toss in a charming a single-liner to keep the tune from becoming fully stale, Black and blue, beat me until I'm numb/Tell the satan I mentioned 'hey' when you get back again to in which you're from.

Mars' chart-topping single Just The Way You Are follows, maintaining an unassuming stance all through the tune-it's neither flashy nor imposing-it is with this track that his prepare actually starts to consider type, Oh you know I'd never ask you to transform/If perfect's what you're searching' for then just stay the exact same. See what he did there: He just strike on every woman alive.

Our 1st Time reveals flashes of seductive vocals, the (church) bells in Marry You accompany the aforementioned doo-wop Mars was aiming for (Is it that appear in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice/Who cares newborn: I believe I want to marry you), and Speaking to the Moon paints a densely layered backdrop which is unmatched all through the record. Each The Lazy Tune and Count on Me achieve into Jack Johnson's catalog for inspiration (or perhaps it's just that each he and Mars are Hawaiian and they happen to feel alike), each song relaxed as they sway via what are some of Mars' worst lyrics (Loungin' on my couch just chillin' in my Snugging Click to MTV so they can train me to Dougie) but they nonetheless by some means fail to shake his effortless sense of attractiveness. To say that Bruno Mars has designed some tunes here that females are going to relate to would be a ridiculous understatement.
