Personally, I'm a big fan of the modulations, smooth production/mix, and overall vibe of the song. And Bruno's voice is smooth as silk, as usual. What about you?
Fair enough! Nothing innovative or new, that's for sure. I think it gives many a nostalgic feel, hence the popularity.im conflicted...he rides a fine line between homage and just kind of blatantly copying the vibe of classic songs...
Haha! Love it.That was terrible. Please don't make me listen to it again.
Technically an A+.
F- for making a song where everyone smiles through the whole thing.
It's so darn smooth is lacks something.
Like I prefer music like that from the 60's or 70's because it wasn't perfect sounding and maybe had a little grit or rawness in the niceness.
The first version of the Matrix failed for the very same reason.
I mean it’s obviously high quality production and he knows his genres well, but after a few albums of era jumping and providing nothing new or original...I find myself questioning where to put value on this nostalgia. They’re great songs in structure but not superior to songs he’s channeling so thoroughly. Impressive when compared to some of his contemporary rivals, but in greater context, maybe forgettable?Fair enough! Nothing innovative or new, that's for sure.

The melody's not the catchiest for me, but I enjoy the harmonic exploration more than anything. Looking forward to the rest of the album!I mean it’s obviously high quality production and he knows his genres well, but after a few albums of era jumping and providing nothing new or original...I find myself questioning where to put value on this nostalgia.

Very XDCheese. Vintage-y. But cheese....
'That's What I Like' is also another fav of mine. So good!Does everything right, with a few unexpected twists. Perfect in execution, but (for me) utterly uninteresting to listen to. That's not to knock 'em. There's real talent there, f'sure.
The only other Bruno mars track I've heard is 'Locked out of heaven', which is an effin' stonkin' track, that never fails to get me a-boppin'
You had me google searching for the pre 'The Matrix' film...The first version of the Matrix failed for the very same reason.
Just checked it out. Musicality it's on point, and I seem to enjoy his voice as an instrument. But the lyrics are just banal nonsense (actually think that was what i found most annoying about the first track posted).'That's What I Like' is also another fav of mine. So good!
