Fresh off the success of his hit single “Just the Way You Are,” Bruno Mars delights audiences with his debut album, “Doo- Wops and Hooligans.” Known for his featured vocals on the hit songs “Nothin on You,” by B. o. B and “Billionaire,” by Travie McCoy, Bruno Mars is starting to establish himself as one of the top performers in the industry. A Honolulu native deemed by some as a cross between Usher and Jason Mraz, Mars brings to modern hip hop and pop, the kind of soulful island influenced vocals that audiences are responding to.
“Doo-Wops and Hooligans” is the album answer to Mars’s hit Billboard Hot 100 single “Just the Way You Are,” which was released on July 19 and garnered rave reviews from audiences across the genres.
Listeners enjoying the commercial popular culture sound of today’s hottest artists are likely to respond to his singles “Just the Way You Are” and “Grenade,” while those tuning their playlists to a slightly more singer-songwriter vibe are likely to be chilling along with “The Lazy Song.”
Having opened for Maroon 5 on their “Hands All Over” tour, Mars is currently touring and co-headlining with fellow “Billionaire” performer Travie McCoy.
Combining its modern pop-culture studio produced sound with a sunny acoustic island feel, Mars has created in “Doo-Wops and Hooligans” an album that is sure to keep audiences attentive as they follow the debut of a superstar in the making.
