bruno mars is a GD superstar, and will be taking his two gigantic pop records on tour with him. along for the ride are ellie goulding on most dates (including houston) and fitz and the tantrums. hit the jump for the routing.

check ‘cool guy’ in at the door and partake in bruno’s new video for the soulful “when i was your man.” another unorthodox (double entendre here, folks) single, considering the first one was a police rip that i couldn’t stop listening to before it was played out by typical radio standards. now, he takes a seat behind the ivories and also grew an afro? whatever, it’s a good song.

bruno mars stopped by kimmel to perform one of the other tracks from his new album, unorthodox jukebox. it’s quite the guilty pleasure, and it kinda sucks about the bad rap bruno gets, considering he’s a great singer AND performer, but you know.

i have a hard time defending my love for this track and even my enjoyment of bruno’s new album, but if major lazer is validating it with a remix, then i’m ok with it.

bruno mars definitely wore out his welcome during the album cycle for his debut, doo-wops and hooligans. but just when i go and write him off, he goes and rips off the police to high hell (which i enjoyed the shit out of) on “locked out of heaven,” and now here we are on album 2.
listen to it below, or hate me for posting this, etc.

i can think of about 11 songs that this could’ve replaced on the carter IV instead of making the cut as a bonus track, but i digress. wake me up when weezy is making songs like “let the beat build” again.

two new visuals from royce and eminem today. the first clip is from royce’s solo album, success is certain. a nice touch on the video was to switch over to the dj premier remix about halfway through. below the jump, you can catch a visual for “lighters” from the hell: the sequel project, which features bruno mars and a lot of cheese.

i mean…if you guys like that whole “love the way you lie” and “airplanes” type of steez, then you’ll love this cornball mishmash of genres. hearing with royce with bruno is quite the headtrip.

the best song off of doo-wops & hooligans (a truly hit or miss record) gets a visual treatment that’s quite similar to yeezy’s “welcome to heartbreak.” anybody know if nabil directed this one? i know he did distant relatives’ latest.

this tour lineup is incredible. bruno and janelle doing a co-headline tour across the us, and bringing on plan b on the first leg, and mayer hawthorne & the county for the second. pull out the ties and blazers, this one’s gonna be a good one.

one of the only ‘truly great’ performances from the grammys. b.o.b. and bruno team up for a stripped down rendition of “nothing on you” which seamlessly goes into a doo-wop live remix of bruno’s “grenade.” which for the record, sounded great. i’d definitely love a studio version of that one. after the two tracks, bruno jumps behind the drum kit and b.o.b. picks up an axe to join the backing band for janelle monae’s “cold war.” it’s a whole lot of good shit going on here.

this is old as shit, but i completely missed it. i heard a streaming mp3 (still looking for a download of it) earlier and found it was from this billboard session, which we completely missed back in the early weeks of this month. bruno sounds great on this, though.
edit: finding the download only took me a few minutes. i’m thrifty like that.

one of the best songs on bruno’s latest gets a video, and i can’t help but focus on bruno’s shoes. those shits are clean.

bruno’s album is a huuuuuge hit or miss, but “grenade” is one of those absolute hits. love this song, and he killed this performance on SNL.
