Super talented singer/songwriter Bruno Mars just released the video for "Treasure" the third single from his second album "Unorthodox Jukebox". Born Peter Gene Hernandez into a musical family in Hawaii, U.S.A, Mars has a feel for old school stuff that he exhibited in his first album "Doo-Wops & Hooligans". The first single released from Jukebox was "Locked out of heaven": a knee slapping, 1980's type rock anthem performed in honour of one of his favourite rock bands, The Police.
Mars greatest asset is his depth and versatility that he uses to pull off one classic after the other. Treasure is the quintessential disco style funk/R & B tune and Mars pulls it off so convincingly that he makes you ask "how old is this guy anyway?" Effortlessly channeling 1970's groups like The Whispers, Earth, Wind & Fire and Midnight Star complete with a betamax quality video. He continues on a path of creative brilliance that shows no sign of waning. His game actually seems to be getting stronger.
Definitely 3 minutes of my life pleasurably spent. What do you all think?

ReplyDeleteI sure hope not too. Let him give us a few more tight albums. After that he is allowed to bomb out. lol
