Hawaiian singer-songwriter/producer Bruno Mars has contributed to huge hits by many other artists. He mined his own Gold with his chart-topping debut Doo-Wops & Hooligans, which was up for seven Grammy Awards and won him Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for ‘Just the Way You Are.’ Our songbook includes that song, the #1 single ‘Grenade,’ and: Count On Me, The Lazy Song, Liquor Store Blues, Marry You, The Other Side, Our First Time, Runaway Baby and Talking to the Moon. Although the album plays with a number of styles, going back-and-forth from pop to reggae and in between messing around with timeless Motown grooves, Doo-Wops & Hooligans is a strong debut that could well make Mars a contender for Grammy’s Best New Artist.

Bruno Mars – 24K Magic (2016)

Critically-acclaimed international megastar Bruno Mars has unveiled his first piece of solo music in nearly four years. “Twenty-four Karat Magic” – emphatically – not an album with which to man the barricades, but Mars manages to deliver a lot of conspicuous consumption with more charm than boorishness. Obsessed as it is with surfaces, “24K Magic” packs considerable musical depth in its slavish attention to detail. The cold nihilism of contemporary R&B is anathema to Mars, an old-school song-and-dance man, and so 24K Magic’s vibe of choice revisits the era of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and new jack swing – early 90s R&B.
