Yes, I love Bruno Mars, how about you? I finally got to see him in concert this summer. It was a great show! His music is very eclectic and he is a talented songwriter and performer. Its refreshing to see a pop artist really take risks musically. He has came A LONG ways and I am happy for his success.

When you mentioned that you liked doo wop R&B it made me think of him. I honestly haven't given him a fair shake. I haven't listened to any of his albums in full just singles here and there. I do recognize his talent and the talent behind his producing team The Smeagles or something like that.

Close enough lol... There called the "The Smeezingtons" which consists of Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. It is a songwriting group and they use to write songs for other artists and they collaborate on alot of Bruno's songs as well. He writes alot of his own music too as well as for other artists. I think he is a pretty good songwriter too.

I think you should definitly check out his new album, "Unorthodox Jukebox". I havent purchased it yet but Ive listened to alot of the songs on the album and its SOOO eclectic. Bruno does Doo Wop but he also does, rock, reggae, soul, funk, r&b, jazz, carribean, etc. He does everything. He has an old school feel to his music and he is heavily inspired by alot of 70s and 80s music. The "Locked Out of Heaven" songs sounds like something "The Police" would make. He said he was inspired by them when he wrote that song.

You have to make some time out for D Angelo and Bruno!!! lol

I will check out Bruno Mars on my own personally.

To keep everything in order though,

The next submission is going to be from Urban then we may do one from D' Angelo and then if Sugar wants to suggest one she can. She still hasn't yet but I don't know if she has one in mind that she'd like to suggest then it will rotate back to me putting up a suggestion.
