Aussie chart favourite Bruno Mars has seemingly decided to try something a little different for his new single ‘Locked Out Of Heaven’. After wooing us with new soul classics and chart smashes ‘Just The Way You Are’, ‘Grenade’ and ‘The Lazy Song’, the singer has decided to venture down a more organic band/pop/rock style track with a song that in parts sounds very reminiscent of early works by The Police. Is it just us or can you hear a bit of ‘Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic’ in there? The clip is certainly very ’80s too, with warped screen shots, mustard colouring and big hair (though to be fair, the latter could just be the latest style and we’ve completely missed it).
Though it’s certainly very different from his earlier work, we get the impression this might be a little ear-worm that’s going to bury its way into our hearts and nestle there for a while.
Australia's first stop for pop!
