I perceive Bruno Mars to be a talented, creative and entertaining musician. His music has the ability to get people to their feet, dancing. His original style and humbleness lead me to consider him as one of my favorite artists. Most of his songs have upbeat tempos, including: "Treasure," "Locked Out of Heaven," and "That's What I Like." In contrast, he took a slow approach to multiple song. "When I was Your Man," and "It will Rain" are my personal favorites. Although some choose to claim that Bruno copies the styles of previous performers, I believe that he personalizes his music. Yes, he was influenced by various artists of the late 20th century, however, he is carrying aspects of their music into the 21st, which they must appreciate. Overall, he is a great entertainer and I am hoping that I will be able to attend his upcoming concert.

- Bruno was born Peter Gene Bayot Hernandez.
- Bruno explains how he created his stage name, “Bruno is after Bruno Sammartino, who was this big, fat wrestler. I was this chunky little baby, so my dad used to call me that as a nickname. Mars came up because a lot of girls say I’m out of this world!”

- Growing up he was involved with music. He was raised by musicians- a hula dancer and percussionist.

- Mars and singer Adele are the only artists to ever have a number-one song that only featured piano and vocals.
- He is only 5 foot 5!

New York Times on Bruno Mars

The Bruno Mars way-back machine has been one of pop's most reliable tools in the last few years, and it rarely falls short of complete, uncanny accuracy. His skill for manipulating the past has made him something of an outlier: a retro-minded soul singer, songwriter and producer interested not in strict nostalgia, but in illuminating old styles so they shimmer in a way that's appealing to a listener not much interested in looking backward.

This precision comes at a price, though. At times, Mr. Mars is a sideshow to his presentation. The sound is the star, and he is the vehicle, not the driver.

"24K Magic," his third album - and first in four years - is the story of that tension. Mr. Mars is by turns a showman and an analyst, a preservationist and a peacock. The new songs - his most diverse set to date, and mostly rigorously executed and fun - show Mr. Mars to be interested in different musical eras, different production approaches and different singing voices without veering into chaos. Mostly his songs are like cotton candy: sweet, sticky, structurally impressive but not especially deep.

What's most striking about this album is how it expands upon Mr. Mars's longstanding interest in American soul music. Rather than linger in one time period, with one production approach, he's all over the map, from the 1950s to the '90s, and sniper sharp throughout.

The title track, this album's lead single, is set to around 1980, when funk and machines were doing some of their earliest dances, and when black pop was still teeming with disco exuberance. It has less to do with the presence of Mr. Mars - ecstatic, slick, ambient - than the sheen of the production. The synthesizers are sympathetic and covered in burrs, and the vocals are hyper-processed in a manner indebted to Zapp, who pioneered the sort of liquid digital funk Mr. Mars is repurposing (talkbox vocals pepper the song) and also to the duo Chromeo, who have been faithful revivalists of the style for years now. As for Mr. Mars, he's doing more emphatic talking than singing and is backed up by a barking chorus, adding tough-guy punch to his mellifluous boasts.

Then there's "Perm," which jolts back to the '60s, with its shout-singing and James Brown-indebted horn stabs and drums. Here, Mr. Mars trades his tender coo for a scraped-up vocal, as if sheer lust were rendering him hoarse.

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now. Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same. When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down' Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name. It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo. Mm, too young, too dumb to realize. That I should have bought you flowers. And held your hand. Should have gave you all my hours. When I had the chance. Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance. Now my baby's dancing. But she's dancing with another man. My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways. Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life. Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh. And it haunts me every time I close my eyes. It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh. Mm, too young, too dumb to realize. That I should have bought you flowers. And held your hand. Should have gave you all my hours. When I had the chance. Take you to every party 'cause all you wanted to do was dance. Now my baby's dancing. But she's dancing with another man. Although it hurts. I'll be the first to say that I was wrong. Oh, I know I'm probably much too late. To try and apologize for my mistakes. But I just want you to know. I hope he buys you flowers. I hope he holds your hand. Give you all his hours. When he has the chance. Take you to every party' Cause I remember how much you loved to dance. Do all the things I should have done. When I was your man. Do all the things I should have done. When I was your man
