"Mars, 31, said the album was inspired by his love for R&B acts like New Edition, Boyz II Men and Jodeci, as well as West Coast rap (DJ Quik came to the studio to give him a flexatone, the percussion instrument, to use on the album)."
"Mars says the trendy sound that some of his peers have adopted — downbeat, alternative R&B — isn't him."
I respect that a lot.
Sure Bruno might not be revolutionary by any means, but as a huge fan of 80's-90's R&B, I really enjoy this new album.. a lot of the rappers we all like don't bring anything new to the table either.
