Pop star Bruno Mars issues a varied mix of musical styles on Unorthodox Jukebox, his sophomore LP via Atlantic Records.

Two years after the ā€œGrenadeā€ singerā€™s debut,Ā Doo-Wops & Hooligans, a slightly G-rated project full of sweet and unconditional love songs such as ā€œJust The Way You Areā€ and ā€œMarry You,ā€Ā Unorthodox Jukebox, ringing in at only 34 minutes,Ā is straight up and down about S-E-X. From “making love likeĀ gorillasā€ to “your sex takes me to paradise on lead single ā€œLocked Out of Heaven,ā€ Mars makes no bones about his life in the pop star lane. Along with songwriting and production team The Smeezingtons (songwriter Philip Lawrence and engineer Ari Levine), the Hawaii-bred artist creates music that not only connects with his audience, but shows his vulnerable side too; as shown on “Treasure,” ā€œWhen I Was Your Manā€ and ā€œIf I Knew.ā€

Having written Billboard chart-toppers for artists such as B.o.B (ā€œNothinā€™ on Youā€),Ā  Travie McCoy (ā€œBillionaireā€) and Cee Lo Green (ā€œFuck Youā€), Bruno Mars continues his knack for churning out hit-making songs.
