Bruno Mars is a certified party-starter, but the Soul-Pop titan is keen to show the sonic and lyrical layers of new album ‘24k Magic.’
With exactly two weeks to go before the LP – his third – lands in stores, the 30-year-old has lifted the lid on ‘Versace On The Floor.’
A 90s inspired R&B ballad, the track sees Bruno belt out using the length and breadth of his impressive range.
Take a listen below…
’24k Magic’ arrives in stores on November 18th and follows the multi-platinum smash ‘Unorthodox Jukebox.’ Pre-Order: http://smarturl.it/24kmagic
I cannot wait to buy this album, this guy is the greatest thing to happen to music in a very long time.
Is this his Michael Jackson era?
???
More like his “Confessions” era, This is what Usher was suppose to be on!
I TOTALLY AGREE I WAS NEVER A FAN OF BRUNO UNTIL NOW .. HIS NEW MUSIC IS TAKING ME BACK TO THE GOOD OL 80’s sound! Real music ..Him and Bey need to duet! Their voices would slay together!
omg my panties is WET! some kinda boyz ii men meets color me badd realness. bruno can SANG to me anyway???
Bruno is really starting to p*ss me off with this new project. Are you legit going to copy every sound from the 80’s? It’s like he’s trying to be Prince, Cameo, and Michael Jackson all at the same damn time. While the song is a banger and I do like it, I hate that he’s showing no originality or substantive growth. Sure, it’s cool to be inspired from the past and at times sample, but you can’t make an entire project from a box of cassettes you found in you the trunk of your uncle’s old civic with the mix-matched color doors. Unorthodox Jukebox showed forward thinking that laid sonic aesthetic popularized on the radio today. Sure Gaga’s Perfect Illusion flopped like some granny t*tties, but I have respect for how she truly tried to create something original that borrowed elements from the past. Damn Bruno you got me complementing Gaga over your ass #DoBetter
Man hush, this generation needs something like what he is making right now to remind these folks of what real music sounds like. This generation in music is all over the place and repetitive. Bruno is a breath of fresh air and as you can see in majority of the comments we are loving it!
I agree that this generation needs better music especially in the mainstream. However, a TRUE artist takes risks and curates something from scratch that’s inventive while borrowing some elements from the past. The successful artists of yesterday did exactly that! Bruno is straight swagger jacking
I agree. Bruno Mars is a amazing singer and performer, but why do most of his hits sound like covers of other songs? I wish we could get a new male artist who’s a skilled performer and innovative as well. No more copy and paste from the past.
Sooo Bruno just brought “Naywoo” powerhouse vocals back to R&B with not one cuss word. Chris Brown take notes! This is what the game’s been missing!
Chrissy brown couldn’t even spell powerhouse. The Weeknd couldn’t pronounce it.
Chris COULD sing this well if he’d take better care of his vocal cords. All that drinking and smoking is ruining his voice.
Fück yess, Bruno! Abel who? This is the best song I’ve heard in a long time. I’m almost positive that Babyface produced it so no wonder it’s so good, Kenny always makes magic! This is the direction I’ve been wanting Bruno to go in. I didn’t expect such a great song with the name of it but damn. Bruno gave 24K Magic for the youngins and party poppers and it was fun and catchy, but now this one is for the grown folks!
Of course some people in the comments section will find a problem with it, but their fave could never.
Also check out Joe’s new song “Our Anthem”, Bruno and Joe keeping real music alive, who needs Abel’s nasally high-pitched whiny voice when you have real singers with actual talent like Bruno and Joe, John Legend too!
It’s going to be a late 80s/early 90s album. Like I said, his albums are going by decade to decade. First one was 60s, second one was 70s and this one is 80s/90s. So this should be the highest selling album of the year since people always say they want 90s music to come back 90s R&B to come back. We’ll see if those fools actually buy.
AGREED!!!
I wanted him to record his version on “ALL I ASK” so badly just because of the 80\90 arrangemnt
AND HE’S GIVING ME LIFE WITH THIS!!!
Yesssss. Bruno giving me Michael Jackson tease
I couldn’t be more impressed by RNB this year. 2016 has given so much musically. “Our First Time” is when I really have Bruno a chance. Then he kept impressing me but lost me for a minute. I’m back now.
Wow, this is great! Amazing record! He’s a talented singer.
AHHHH!!!
The vibe is soooo beautiful and am not ready
so 80’s and 90’s ballads sound
MJ, B2M, Whitney
Please be a trend!!! I need these kind of music
Bring it bruno!!!
He needs to do a duet with Janet
I could die for it
One of the true big talents in mainstream as we all know. I hope to like the whole body of work when it is released. When is he releasing the album btw? His is shaping to be the biggest promo campaign of 2016 (which is a good thing, promote your own music you wrote and sang is a good thing guys lol).
Chile, the vibe took me BACK! Very Babyface, Ready For The World-esque and he’s sanging like MJ. He was right when he said that the album will have songs that take you back to that time when you could slow dance with your guy or girl to those super romantic R&B songs. Love how the melody and key changes.
Yesssss. The good stuff is back
Agreed and it is like taking a breath of fresh air!
Nice one. But it needed some memorable chorus like his ‘Treasure” song
.
nonetheless this is real music!!!!! 10/10
This song gave me chills by the first chorus and had to turn it all the way up! LOVE IT!!!!
Praise HIM!!
So when black artists create this where is the hype?
Most don’t.
Better than 24K Magic. Me like it !
It’s cool. I’ll have to hear more of the album. I don’t care for the Uptown funk reject 24k.
Nice song
very much marvin gaye – ish
