Doo-Wops & Hooligans (Deluxe Edition) - Bruno Mars CD

"Doo-Wops and Hooligans (Special Edition)" is the deluxe version of the brilliant debut studio album by the American singer/song writer Bruno Mars, which was originally released in 2010.

The album is chock full of classic get happy upbeat pop tunes, in which Mars uses piano and acoustic guitar scores as the main foundations for the melodies. These delicate arrangements allow Mars' incredibly well ranged vocals to sing out clearly with each note, the high notes of which have the capability to give the listener goosebumps every time they hear them.

Featured on the album are the chart smashing hit singles "Just The Way You Are", "Grenade", "The Lazy Song" and "Marry You". These songs amply display Bruno Mars' song writing capabilities, as the contrast between the piercing and self-defeated "Grenade" lyrics and the beautiful, completely in love lyrics of "Marry You", or "Just The Way You Are", are very stark.

This special edition also includes six bonus tracks, three of which being recordings of Bruno Mars performing the songs "The Other Side", "Grenade" and "Just The Way You Are" live. Also included is a remix of the song "Just The Way You Are", featuring the renowned American rapper Lupe Fiasco.

This special edition of "Doo-Wops and Hooligans" beings you all the brilliant tracks from the original album, as well as so many extras that any Bruno Mars fan will enjoy. (Cat Emerson)
