Unorthodox Jukebox explicit_lyrics

I was so happy to hear that we would be getting a new album from Bruno before the end of the year. 'Locked Out of Heaven' really set the scene for the kind of direction that Bruno would be taking. And the album does not dissapoint. Here are my thoughts on each of the tracks.YOUNG GIRLS: Bruno uses the base of his debut album to open this effort, playing on the strengths of his past hits, 'Grenade' and 'It Will Rain'. Add a double bass and a strong vocal harmony arrangement to the recipe, and you've got yourself the perfect opening track. (5/5) LOCKED OUT OF HEAVEN: Bruno uses his inspiration from artists such as The Police and Sting to create a thumping, modern yet vintage opening single from this collection. The wide range of instruments used on the track to create a catchy jazz-influenced backing track cements this as the album's strongest track. (5/5) GORILLA: What stars off as a dark, mysterious drum-lathen electro romp turns into a piano and guitar led anthem for the items, with some subtle uses of 'oooh ooohs' to create the dramatic stadium effect. As they say, there are two sides to every perfect story. (5/5) TREASURE: Laden with pumping '80s synths and sound effects, Bruno manages to blend two of the finest eras of music together to produce something that sounds like it was made thirty years ago, but yet only came out of a studio this year. (5/5) MOONSHINE: A soothing piano riff infused with the sound of a pumping electric drum beat makes this one of the catchiest and funkiest tracks on the album, and one that cries out to become a future single. (5/5)WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN: Bruno slows proceedings down a little for this piano-led power ballad. A simple, stripped back vocal and instrumental performance show a strong ability for versatility, and a softer side of an otherwise strong artist. (5/5) NATALIE: Take the instrumental from 'Grenade', tone it up, add a pulsating clapping rhythm, twist the vocals a little, and you'll find yourself with this latest offering. Despite leaning heavily on 'Grenade', the track is one of the most pleasing tracks on the record, offering both suttlety and mainstream interest. (5/5) SHOW ME: Bruno looks to his roots for his next reggae-infused effort, which takes inspiration from the likes of Bob Marley. Personally, i think it's a little thin on the ground compared to the other tracks on the album, but certainly not a poor effort. (4/5) MONEY MAKES HER SMILE: A vocal choir introduction, followed with a thumping electronic bass riff sets the scene for this uplifting stadium anthem. The addition of a rap-style chant to the chorus lets it down a little, but it definitely still holds enough dignity to not be dismissed. (4/5) IF I KNEW: For the final effort of the album, we are once again thrown back into the 1980's, with a powerful soul-infused rock anthem. Standing alone, you could class it as the perfect track. But against the backdrop of the already perfect album, it finds itself lost in amongst tracks which are slightly more memorable. (4/5)So, in conclusion, i think that two years in the studio has really helped Bruno create one of the finest albums to be released this year. The only reason i gave the last three tracks only four stars is not because they are bad, but because the first seven are of such high quality, that they are very hard to live up to. Taking elements of the entire musical spectrum, blending them into just ten tracks, and mixing them with a fine voice leaves the final result a piece of pure musical perfection.

Great price . Good music

Bruno Mars' "Unorthodox Jukebox" CD is a treat for the ears. It's a mix of R&B, pop, and funk that keeps you grooving from start to finish. Bruno's smooth vocals and clever lyrics shine throughout the album. It's a fantastic addition to any music collection.

Truly excellent music. Something for almost everyone.Everyone has to pick and choose their own selection and there is little chance of finding a CD collection spanning a decade when you will recognise the entire content by name or tune.I doubt I could name two of the album tracks and can make little comment other than to say there is some cracking good music on here.I am 56, my wife 51, my sons 30 and 31, their wives 28 and 27. yet there is music here that we all like.Give it a go, download your choices and then charity shop the CD or sell it to Magpie, who then supply the likes of Pound landDo not forget to look at the used CD versions, substantially less expensive and just as good.IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW USEFUL PLEASE CLICK THE USEFUL REVIEW BUTTON THANK YOU

Great vinyl , no problems with it , highly recommend.

Like others I loved the first album and looked forward to this, I am not disappointed, this is imo another excellent album. Again very diverse - plenty of upbeat such as Locked Out of Heaven which I love, there is some classic pop a la Detroit Spinners in Treasure, Young Girls is infectious and gorgeous - and although I generally dont like ballads so much, When I Was Your Man is absolutely beautiful. Bruno Mars has such a superb vocal with amazing tone I could listen all day. I do, however, agree with other reviewers about the swearing, I'm truly no prude I promise, but not really necessary to chuck those in. Gorilla is a great track but one you'd be better skipping over with company/kids in the car! Bit of a 'come again!?' moment when you first hear it! Overall another superb album I would recommend very highly, a highly talented artist - can't wait for the third one

So amazing music

Nice music

Bruno Mars is my favorite artist and this vinyl record does not dissapoint. It is filled with great music and sounds awesome on the record player. Pair it with the gorilla with headphones portrait and it's 24K magic!

A entrega foi bem rápida, mas achei a proteção do disco bem fragilizada, nn veio em embalagem própria para a proteção do conteúdo mas chegou em ótimo estado! O disco é lindíssimo, nn me arrependo da compra!!

Adquirí el Vinyl en color rojo, excelente calidad y sin duda un gran álbum

It was a bit warped (bent) but I still love it

Excellent album de Bruno Mars
