Indeed, "Uptown Funk!" has been the subject of copyright controversies. Other observers saw elements of a wide range of '80s funk music. Mark Ronson claimed that he was heavily influenced by the 1980s Minneapolis sound developed by Prince, The Time, and producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The song earned two Grammy Award nominations, including for Record of the Year. 1 in the United States and was a pop hit around the world. The three collaborated again for this lead single from Mark Ronson's album "Uptown Special." Drawing inspiration from the Minneapolis Sound of the 1980s as well as funk bands like Zapp and The Gap Band, " Uptown Funk!" was an instant success. 1 smash pop hit "Locked Out of Heaven" and additional songs. Too Good To Say Goodbye – If you’re going through a breakup or any kind of heartache, grab the tissues. “I've made mistakes, I could have treated you better / I let you get away, there goes my happily ever after.” This is the last track on 24K and it hits you right in the feels. What a way to say goodbye.Producers Mark Ronson and Jeff Bhasker had both previously worked with Bruno Mars on his No. The song highlights Bruno’s range, vocally, more than the rest - from starting at a lower octave, to sliding right into his infamous high-pitched tenor.įinesse – Reminiscent of Bell Biv DeVoe’s 1990 hit "Poison" you can almost picture Bruno dripping in swag. Another fierce stream of synthesizer percussion makes this song a definite hit. It also happens to be one of those songs, like "24K Magic", that you can’t get out of your head. You will be “Straight up… Straight up…” singing this song all day.Ĭalling All My Lovelies – Okay, I lied. This might be my favorite. Straight Up & Down – This is just one of those songs you put on in the car, that immediately makes you feel content. The concept, lyrically, is brilliant – explaining why it’s become another Hot 100-type hit on the album.
Versace on the Floor – Another steamy ballad, but this time a little slower, and a little more intimate. This song might take you back to prom night 1983 or that time you were running on the beach in slow motion.
This is the perfect R&B ballad for serenading your significant other – or to listen to completely alone. If you’ve noticed two things, it’s that Mars has been rocking a lot of formal shorts during his 24k Magic press tour. Like a PG-13 version of someone standing with a boombox outside your window – it’s both classically romantic and NSFW. If you’ve noticed one thing about Bruno Mars recently, it’s the crooner’s infectious new song that proves his mastery of nostalgia (looking at you, satin disco undertones). That’s What I Like – Possibly my favorite on the album. You can almost see the poodle skirts and hand jives dancing in unison to “Now lean with it (lean) / Throw a lil sheen in it (sheen) / Then pat, pat, pat 'til it's flat!”
This song is straight out of an eighties musical. This is debatably his most fun song on the album in its ability to have you singing along and giggling simultaneously. 1 selling album on iTunes is all about.Ģ4K Magic – This song needs little explanation, due to the fact that you’ve probably heard it seven times today, and unwittingly find yourself humming it in the shower.Ĭhunky – There’s nothing better than a synthesizer and a catchy song about daisy dukes to make you wish it was summertime. Here's a taste of what each song on the No. "24K Magic" is the perfect balance of contemporary and nostalgic – and to achieve that amalgam successfully is something special. From announcing his world tour (which includes a stop in Sacramento), releasing his sixth studio album and opening Sunday night’s American Music Awards – the world can’t get enough of the man making pinky rings cool again.īruno’s always been one of the new kings of pop music, but his latest album solidifies his style more than ever.
