Bruno Mars - Moonshine
Artist: Bruno Mars
Producer: Jeff Bhasker and Nicky Romero
Album: Unorthodox Jukebox
Label: Atlantic/Elektra Records
I know what you’re thinking: with his refined style and considerable cash reserves, Bruno Mars doesn’t seem like the kind of guy you’d catch drinking bootleg liquor distilled in some dude’s bathtub. Did he miss the memo about the repeal of Prohibition? While I was slightly disappointed to find new single Moonshine wasn’t about, well, moonshine, the feeling quickly passed when I listened to the record, which finds him departing from his usual, theatrically heartbroken fare in favor of a lightly funky, ‘80s-informed style. I have to admit, I never detected a strong MJ influence in Mars’ vocals before, but here, over Jeff Bhasker and Nicky Romero‘s throwback grooves, the linkage could hardly be more apparent. Are you feeling this nostalgia-laden musical detour? If so, you can cop the record now on iTunes,—or wait till December 11, when Unorthodox Jukebox hits record stores and online retailers via Atlantic.

Bruno Mars doesn't make bad songs. Well, not that we've heard at least. Love the MJ, 80s influence here.

People can hate on Bruno Mars as much as they want, but at the end of the day, he makes quality music. Strong vocals with a nice production tip and a bit of MJ equals a banger!

You can definitely hear the MJ influence on this one. Really nice vocals with the poppy beat. Sounds like a classic.

I like the snappy hits in the beat by Jeff Bhasker and Nicky Romero on the production. The beat makes Bruno Mars vocals stand out. This is different from what I'm used to from him and that's a good thing. Stepping out of the box for a nice jam. I like this.

I love Bruno Mars's voice. This song is so different from what he usually does and the beat on this track is so mellow. Banger!

I can here some Michael in this with the beat and flow. Literally sounds like something he'd sing. Bruno can really sing in this song. I'm already excited for Unorthodox Jukebox.

I have to say is a welcome change to the heartbroken estraged previous efforts from Mars. This record is smooth and catchy as per usual.
