Bruno Mars - Doo Wops and Hooligans

A third time at number one in the UK for Bruno Mars. I am really liking his music, normally as you can probably see from my blog it's all about the Diva's but rarely a musical male comes about that grabs my attention.


Highlights from debut album Doo Wops & Hooligans are Marry You, Just The Way You Are, Grenade and Runaway Baby' of course all tracks are amazing, I was unaware just how talented Bruno is, having written other big hits including Cee Lo Greens F*ck You, Travie McCoy' Billionaire, K'Naan' Wavin Flag and Flo-Rida Round Round. It seems there is no stopping this young guy from conquering the world. He has scored 3 UK numbers in a row and repeats the success across the world. Glee has covered his songs in the second series, including one that has not been released yet so that can only help in getting that song promotion (I wont mention as I know my readers in the UK might not have seen that episode yet).


Just The Way You Are is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard, and the album talks about every day type things that we all think about or do, it is a very real album if that makes sense?! If I was to choose anyone for him to work with, it would be Rihanna.


Anyway right now I am loving Grenade so here it is, the album Doo Wops & Hooligans is out now and is well worth a purchase.

Cheryl Cole - The Flood

So Katie Melua, Take That and now Cheryl Cole are singing about Flood's! All within a year. Is this a good follow up to 'Promise This?' Erm.. sorry.. no..(sorry Cheryl) it's a different pace for Cheryl, the new album 'Messy Little Raindrops' has better offerings than 'The Flood' however I do feel it will appeal to new fans as well as hardcore Cheryl fans and is a slowie at this time of year I suppose. I do feel that the duets on current album are much better, such as 'Everyone feat Dizzee Rascal,' or 'Yeah Yeah featuring Travie McCoy.'

Where does she find the time though? She seriously does not stop, she is on most adverts, the X-Factor, flying off to America to record videos with Nicki Minaj and Will.I.Am and landing worldwide record deals. She is indeed in demand to say the least. I do think however Cheryl is going to have success overseas in the USA and I think its very deserved.

One thing about the video - she looks amazing.
