Bruno Mars stays on top of Billboard's "Hot 100"

Right at the end of the year there is a plate that can be added to the list of albums with the most peculiar album covers of 2012, although only the attention would take away the contents of the disc.

In 1985 in Hawaii-born Peter Hernandez, now better known by his stage name Bruno Mars, had already in 2010 in the ether frequently heard as a singer on the radio hits of BoB and Travie McCoy. Except hits for K’naan and Cee Lo wrote two years ago debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans .

Despite the prominent row hitschrijvers and producers succeeds Bruno Mars also on his second album in its own style to hold, something that many young artists do not succeed when they make a record of such an experienced team. Songs like Young Girls , Locked Out Of Heaven and Natalie are Bruno Mars in a nutshell.

Old-fashioned

The current trend of full, bombastic duties slumbers again by pressing the plate, especially Gorilla and Money Make Her Mine , although still unmistakably sound like something from the pen of Mars. The singer sounds but at its best in small songs like When I Was Your Man and the pleasant old If I Knew .

This second album is Bruno Mars not resist another reggae song to sing them (the what Pass The Dutchie -like Show Me ) and two R & B songs as retro to label his ( Treasure and Moonshine ). Unorthodox Jukebox is less convincing than his debut, but as a whole a strong pop record.
