I know I put Bruno Mars' new record "Marry You" in yesterday's "Re-Up", but I thought it deserved a chance in the spotlight for three reasons. First, the man's got the number one record in the country ("Just the Way You Are"), so he's clearly making some serious noise. Second, his last effort "Liquor Store Blues" was widely praised by RefinedHype nation. And last but not least, considering his recent arrest for drug possession in Las Vegas, a song about getting so hammered in Vegas you end up marrying someone "Hangover" style is almost hilariously ironic.
Oh, and it actually sounds pretty nice. That'd be reason four. I'm not personally in love with Mars' more pop leanings, but if we're going to have to listen to pop/r&b songs dominate the radio, at the very least it's creative, original, quality pop-r&b like this.
Does "Marry You" have a chance to be the same kind of addictive hit that "Just the Way You Are" is? Let's find out with a poll:
Don’t get me wrong this song is dope, it just doesn’t touch Just the Way You Are.

Amen to Young Swish. It's a nice track, and Bruno continues to impress, but it doesn't have that extra something.
