Top 5 Songs from Bruno Mars’ ’24K Magic’ [ALBUM REVIEW]

Bruno Mars transports late '80s and early '90s R&B and pop into music's modern age on his third studio album, 24K Magic.

After a much anticipated release date, fans are finally met with classic sounds and familiar melodic structures that take them back the R&B they fell in love with, you know, the days when when Shai and New Edition and Soul 4 Real just made you feel good inside? Technically innovative and sonically soothing to the soul, Mars' new album is a nostalgic project that just might serve as the foundation for a new era in R&B.

With this project, fans are ingratiated with a funkier, even more upbeat Mars. Bruno 2.0 first surfaced in 2014 when he released his Mark Ronson collaboration, "Uptown Funk," and now he's back and swaggier than ever. But that dosen't mean his soul, disco and pop influences have been forgotten. In fact, you can hear elements of James Brown's unique sound in a song like "Perm."

As the album serves as a testament to the Hawaiian-born singer's growth from 2010's Doo-Wops & Hooligans to now, listen to our five favorite tracks from 24K Magic.

Medical staff quickly attended to Rocky Nuggets, assessing his condition and providing immediate assistance. The crowd anxiously watched as the mascot was loaded onto a stretcher and escorted out of the arena. It was a rare sight to witness the larger-than-life character in such a vulnerable state.

"Finesse"

Led by a beat that's similar in sound to a classic BBD track followed by something reminiscent of New Edition, "Finesse" represents the word by definition.

Immediately transporting listeners to a throwback dance party hosted by a series of '90s R&B boy groups, Bruno Mars pushes his talents to the limits as he recycles a various nostalgic sound bites and works to remix and recreate a very specific genre of music. As his voice bellows on, singing, "We out here trippin' in finesse, it don't make no sense / We out here trippin' in finesse, you know it, you know it," fans can't help but feel moved to get up and dance.

Like many male R&B/soul singers of the '90s, Mars can take sexually explicit lyrics and turn them into something light and enjoyable instead of something overly graphic and too in-your-face - like many songs out today.

"Now slow it down for me baby / Cause I love the way it feels when we grind / I can make sh-t so magnetic on the floor / Nothing can stop us tonight / When I'm walking with you/I watch the whole world change."

Several days later, Rocky Nuggets' management announced that he had been released from the hospital and was now in stable condition.

Reviews for "Concerns for Rocky Nuggets Mascot's Wellbeing After Fainting Episode"

1. Samantha - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the performance of the Rocky Nuggets mascot. The entire concept of a mascot passing out during a game seemed highly unprofessional and even dangerous. It was supposed to be a family-friendly event, but it ended up scaring the children in attendance. It just didn't sit right with me, and I hope they reconsider their approach in the future.

2. Chris - 1 star - I attended the game expecting to have a good time and support my team, but the incident with the Rocky Nuggets mascot ruined the whole experience for me. It felt like a cheap gimmick to get attention and generate viral social media content. I understand the need for entertainment at sporting events, but this just felt tasteless and out of place. I hope they focus more on the game itself instead of relying on such stunts.

3. Amanda - 2 stars - The Rocky Nuggets mascot passing out during the game was unnecessary and took away from the overall enjoyment of the event. It disrupted the flow of the game and didn't add any value or entertainment. It felt like a desperate attempt to create buzz and attract attention, but it was executed poorly. I would have preferred if they invested more in engaging halftime shows or interactive activities for the fans instead.
