Gliding between styles with a grin, Bruno Mars is a true triple threat. He's a singer with the sweetness and swagger of his '60s and '70 idols. The one-that-got-away intensity of a soulful ballad like “When I Was Your Man” will leave you in tears, and then this smooth operator will seduce you with the sly boasts of a dance floor-destroying anthem like “Uptown Funk.” As a songwriter, Mars is a human jukebox loaded with decades of hooks, racking up retro hits like the pulse-pounding New Wave rocker “Locked Out of Heaven” and adding bumping hip-hop breaks to the intensely sweet love song “Just the Way You Are.” But while Mars may have learned his behind-the-boards chops by studying the past—whether that means the time-tested Motown playbook or the electro-shocked pulse of post-disco R&B—even his delectable throwback jams like “24K Magic” have a luscious sheen that's pure 21st century pop. - Bruno Mars' party music is dedicated to dance-fueled celebration, and if neo-funk jams like "24K Magic," "That's What I Like," and "Uptown Funk" left any question about where the SoCal-based hitmaker's intentions lie, their energized, infectiously choreographed videos spell it out.
- Bruno Mars' singular take on pop spawned smashes and inspired artists from all over the spectrum. Janelle Monáe's precision-grade funk, Thomas Rhett's booty-minded country, and Carly Rae Jepsen's pogo-ready anthems all take cues from Mars' feisty, powerful catalog, showing a similar injection of classic soul into sounds that are precisely calibrated for present-day listening.
- Lean back and relax with some of their mellowest cuts.
- Bruno Mars' childhood performances as an Elvis impersonator set the stage for his high-energy live shows, while his do-it-all pop auteurism brings to mind the genius of Michael Jackson. Over the years, he's dipped into different styles of music, but his ballads and funk jams alike have been grounded in the lessons laid down by soul forefathers like James Brown and Little Richard.
- Grab the mic and sing along with some of their biggest hits.
- Their lyrical and musical genius fuels some of the world’s biggest songs.
