Album Description
Available in: Country Icon Country Icon
Es el segundo álbum de estudio del cantante estadounidense Bruno Mars, lanzado el 6 de diciembre de 2012 por Atlantic Records. El 4 de diciembre de 2012, el álbum estaba disponible para escucharse completo una semana antes de su lanzamiento. Mars co-escribió el álbum y trabajó con productores como The Smeezingtons, Mark Ronson, Jeff Bhasker, Emile Haynie, Supa Dups, Diplo, Benny Blanco y Paul Epworth.

El álbum tiene influencias de pop-soul, jazz, funk, disco, quiet storm, reggae rock y soft rock. Sus canciones son caracterizadas por el estilo habitual de Mars de componer melodías y arreglos, y aunque su composición explora temas como el amor, el desamor y relaciones, Unorthodox Jukebox incorpora letras y temas más explícitas que en su álbum anterior, como el sexo, venganza, la ira y el chauvinismo.

El primer sencillo del álbum, "Locked Out of Heaven", fue un éxito comercial, llegando al Billboard Hot 100 durante seis semanas consecutivas y entre los 10 mejores temas en más de 20 países. Su segundo sencillo "When I Was Your Man", también llegó al puesto número uno en el Hot 100 y experimentó un éxito comercial similar. "Treasure" fue lanzada como el tercer sencillo oficial del álbum en mayo de 2013, llegando al puesto número 5 en el Hot 100 con un menor éxito comercial que los anteriores sencillos. El cuarto sencillo, "Gorilla", llegó al puesto número 22 en el Hot 100, convirtiéndose en el primer sencillo en no llegar al Top 10, poniendo fin a su racha. Fue el álbum más vendido del 2013 y recibió el Grammy a Mejor Álbum Pop Vocal.

User Album Review
Pretty much the biggest pop star in the world right now whose name isn't Adele, Bruno Mars is ubiquitous and prolific with it.

Both with and without his songwriting/production crew The Smeezingtons, Mars has had a hand in hits by Cee Lo Green, Sugababes, Justin Bieber, Adam Lambert and Alicia Keys, and has scored a clutch of UK and US number ones under his own steam – all in just a couple of years on the scene. Either he's the new Smokey Robinson or he's spreading himself so thin he'll be a chirpy pop gauze by 2013.
Well, he's not quite see-through yet. It's soon plain that Unorthodox Jukebox lacks the immediacy of 2010's Doo-Wops & Hooligans – there's no Marry You here, and certainly no global chart-topper like Just the Way You Are.

But it's appealing, generally engaging and all shot through with the confidence of a man who must feel he's got the hit parade Midas touch. Bar the odd misstep, he probably won't have a rude awakening.
Those stumbles are Show Me's wan facsimile of Musical Youth's Pass the Dutchie (one of 2012's more unlikely influences) and the sugary early 80s funk of Treasure, which is lathered in so much slap bass it starts to sting.

Speaking of Sting – ouch – his spectre is all over first single Locked Out of Heaven, in the clipped Message in a Bottle chords and Mars' yelping, staccato delivery. But that's about the only time Mars allows his own identity to be subsumed.

Otherwise, he's equally cosy fronting saucy semi-rock belter Gorilla – "You get your legs up in the sky with the devil in your eyes" – and sprinting on the spot to the unhinged electro-soul of the Diplo-produced Money Makes Her Smile.

The latter's some respite from maudlin "My baby wronged me" / "I wronged my baby" stuff in Natalie and When I Was Your Man, but there's room for both in Mars' repertoire. Rock, soul, RnB and starry-eyed pop – he's across it all.
