Bruno Mars Unveils ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ Cover, Tracklisting



Bruno Mars monkeys around on the cover of his sophomore album Unorthodox Jukebox. The comical artwork shows a gorilla playing a jukebox (He also has a song on the album titled “Gorilla”).

Due December 11, the follow-up to his Grammy-winning debut Doo-Wops & Hooligans features 10 tracks including the single “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Young Girls,” which he premiered on “SNL.”

Mars executive produced the project with his songwriting/production team The Smeezingtons (Mars, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine), and worked with producers including Jeff Bhasker, Mark Ronson, and Diplo.

“This is me locking myself in the studio and being free recording whatever it is I want to record,” the singer-songwriter told VH1. “Just being inspired by all different styles of music and isn’t that what music should be?”

1. “Young Girls”
2. “Locked Out of Heaven”
3. “Gorilla”
4. “Treasure”
5. “Moonshine”
6. “When I Was Your Man”
7. “Natalie”
8. “Show Me”
9. “Money Make Her Smile”
10. “If I Knew”

rap up

I like his song "Locked Out of Heaven" that they're playing a lot now, except the line "cause your sex takes me to paradise." It's like they thought some people would be too slow to figure out what the song's about, so they hit you over the head with it.
kpoplvr 24th-Oct-2012 09:35 pm (UTC)
Agreed.

Also, love the icon. :]

NGL i'm kinda excited for this album after Bruno's SNL appearance. Both the songs he played were really good.
eyeninetyfive 24th-Oct-2012 11:17 pm (UTC)
yes! I immediately became a fan.
joliefoliepolie 24th-Oct-2012 08:41 pm (UTC)
But why the gorilla, though?
backincharge 24th-Oct-2012 08:42 pm (UTC)
Gurl, it looks a million times better than the original one people thought was the cover.
rhapsodeeinblue 24th-Oct-2012 09:16 pm (UTC)
What was the original?

Oh dear.

(I like that photo of him tho.)
backincharge 24th-Oct-2012 09:37 pm (UTC)
I liek the picture too, but the way they put the font on there and everything was terrible.
false_hate 24th-Oct-2012 09:54 pm (UTC)
Damn, that is boring
pistol_eyes 25th-Oct-2012 02:06 am (UTC)
I like this better

galagooo 24th-Oct-2012 08:44 pm (UTC)
Why the album title choice.
vanishingbee 24th-Oct-2012 09:29 pm (UTC)
maybe he's going to have a theme of primates? He used those monkey masks for one of the Lazy Song videos.
backincharge 24th-Oct-2012 08:44 pm (UTC)
10 tracks though? Perfect number is 12-13.
lovetheepacey 24th-Oct-2012 11:29 pm (UTC)
Ikr? Wasn't his first album only 10 tracks too? I just remember it being super short.
shangri__la 25th-Oct-2012 12:38 am (UTC)
I think he said he prefers to do it at ten because that's how the old school albums were.
backincharge 25th-Oct-2012 02:31 am (UTC)
But it's too short. :(
krzg 24th-Oct-2012 08:49 pm (UTC)
For some reason that cover makes it seem like he loves it and is about to hump it...

thrillisgone_89 24th-Oct-2012 08:52 pm (UTC)
i'm still slayed by him doing an amazing job on SNL

werq boo!
ritzyroxie 24th-Oct-2012 08:53 pm (UTC)
Well that's an awkward title.
mirlos 24th-Oct-2012 08:58 pm (UTC)
mostly want to hear "natalie" just for my name
hazel_belle 24th-Oct-2012 08:59 pm (UTC)
Excited for the album.. can't wait.

My friend is even more excited, because this means she has more song options to add on her proposed Broadway Show based on Bruno Mars Songs. I wish I was kidding about this
robertsbox_xo 24th-Oct-2012 08:59 pm (UTC)
10 songs? lazy bitch
genbu_no_miko24 24th-Oct-2012 09:01 pm (UTC)
Yiissss :D
sprywonderdog 24th-Oct-2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
I'm on the bandwagon after watching some of the SNL clips. It's always the people I don't expect to be funny that do the best. He has absolutely beautiful teeth, too.
backincharge 24th-Oct-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
ikr? I thought he'd be okay but he was actually pretty good.
rhapsodeeinblue 24th-Oct-2012 09:17 pm (UTC)
Same, even about the teeth tbh

lovetheepacey 24th-Oct-2012 11:29 pm (UTC)
Omg yes, I am so attracted to his teeth! haha.
prophecypro 24th-Oct-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
Last week's episode of SNL was probably one of the best in ages. Bruno did his thing and the sketches were just tightly put together with good reactions.

And I'm liking the direction he's taking his stuff especially after his first album which I thought was all a bit plain and so so.
mrezkill 24th-Oct-2012 09:14 pm (UTC)
ugh, 10 tracks AGAIN? Nooo, why cant he have 16 like Taylor Swift.
smolderhotter 24th-Oct-2012 09:20 pm (UTC)
he is probably picky and doesn't put every shit he writes on a cd xD
mrezkill 24th-Oct-2012 09:22 pm (UTC)
taylor's new album could have easily been 10 tracks tbh. I'm surprised he's only giving us 10 tho, hopefully they're all good at least
lack_ofcolour 25th-Oct-2012 01:36 am (UTC)
Every time I see your icon, I want a big glass of wine. Mmmm.
rhapsodeeinblue 24th-Oct-2012 09:15 pm (UTC)
He killed it on SNL. I never got into his music (although his new single is so catchy) but I think I'm a fan of him as a person, lol.
smolderhotter 24th-Oct-2012 09:20 pm (UTC)
I NEED THIS ALBUM RN
xliquidskiesx 24th-Oct-2012 09:24 pm (UTC)
His new song is so damn catchy.
vanishingbee 24th-Oct-2012 09:31 pm (UTC)
I loooove him, and I like the album cover/title. :) Looking forward to this coming out.

2012 has been great for music, I hope this is another album to add to my list this year.
horrorparties 24th-Oct-2012 09:35 pm (UTC)
CANNOT WAIT

aesthetically i really love the look and vibe he's going for with this album
kpoplvr 24th-Oct-2012 09:36 pm (UTC)
So Young Girls would've been a good perf but he kinda started yell-singing and the vibe was lost but otherwise I'm gradually getting on the bandwagon. But something's missing for me about him and I don't know what
ayajedi 24th-Oct-2012 11:23 pm (UTC)
I like Bruno, his band and his music but I HATE this album cover!
What is he trying to say?
lovetheepacey 24th-Oct-2012 11:31 pm (UTC)
Excited for his new album! Loved the first one.
lovinewan 25th-Oct-2012 12:37 am (UTC)
Ewww, he has a song called Natalie? Why'd it have to be my name and him singing it D:
pistol_eyes 25th-Oct-2012 02:07 am (UTC)
I don't like it. And only 10 songs? :/
toilandblood 25th-Oct-2012 05:50 am (UTC)
the font colors and gorilla reminds me of the new stones album.. which is a complete ripoff. theres only 2 new songs.. cmon. :/

I thought he did really well on SNL and I like Locked Out of Heaven but mostly because it serves Police realness. I'm sure the album will be good.
