Bruno Mars - Unorthodox Jukebox

2014 Grammy Awards:

Best Pop Vocal Album

Bruno Mars' sophomore follow-up to his blockbuster album debut, Doo-Wops & Hooligans

Featuring "Locked Out Of Heaven," "Young Girls" and "When I Was Your Man"

In October 2012, Bruno Mars premiered the first single, "Locked Out of Heaven," from his highly-anticipated sophomore album Unorthodox Jukebox. On October 20th, Mars made his comeback to national television when he joined the elite club of hosts and performers for "Saturday Night Live" alongside the likes of Mick Jagger, Justin Timberlake and Elton John. Mars not only showcased his comedic talent to the millions watching, but also debuted the first live performance of "Locked Out of Heaven" and premiered a brand new song, "Young Girls," from the historic stage in New York City.

For Unorthodox Jukebox Mars and his songwriting/production team The Smeezingtons (Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine) partnered with heavyweight producers including Jeff Bhasker, Mark Ronson and Diplo, to create the 10-track album.

"Unorthodox Jukebox, feels much truer to life for a 27-year-old millionaire who vacations in Vegas. Now he's free to brag about his 'cocaine ticker' (on the sexy-funny 'Gorilla') and write a strip-club-directed banger ('Money Make Her Smile'). He's dropped the golden-boy bit, but at least he's being honest. And his talent for crafting little pop perfections of all stripes is undeniable: The '60s-soul romance 'If I Knew' smolders like a Solomon Burke track, and he dips easily into both Police-style reggae-rock ('Locked Out of Heaven') and dancehall with tape-echo effects and air horns in all the right places ('Show Me'). 'Treasure' even makes silk-jumpsuit disco feel contemporary." — EW.com
