Marrakech – Happy 40th birthday to the one and only Bruno Mars – the man who turned retro funk, R&B, and pop into pure gold.
With his velvet voice, sharp suits, and stage swagger, Bruno has spent over a decade giving us some of the most unforgettable songs in modern music. Let’s look back at the hits that made him the legend he is today.
“Just the Way You Are” (2010)
His breakout single; the kind of love song that feels instantly timeless. Simple, honest, and endlessly romantic, it became an anthem for anyone who’s never been told they’re perfect as they are.
“Grenade” (2010)
Raw emotion meets powerhouse vocals. Bruno’s heartbreak anthem proved he could deliver pain and passion in the same breath, making it one of his most powerful early hits.
“Locked Out of Heaven” (2012)
A fusion of reggae-rock and funk that would make The Police proud. This was the era Bruno began carving out his own lane, vibrant, playful, and impossible not to dance to.
“Treasure” (2013)
A glittering disco revival that feels like it was pulled straight from the ‘80s. “Treasure” showcased Bruno’s love for all things vintage, and it still sounds fresh over a decade later.
“Uptown Funk” (2014)
With Mark Ronson at his side, Bruno dropped one of the most explosive collaborations in pop history. “Uptown Funk” didn’t just top charts, it took over the world. A modern classic that guarantees a dance floor.
“24K Magic” (2016)
Swagger, shimmer, and a whole lot of soul, this track brought funk back to the mainstream. It’s the perfect example of Bruno’s ability to channel old-school cool with new-school confidence.
“That’s What I Like” (2017)
Silky, seductive, and smooth, this Grammy-winning hit confirmed that Bruno’s groove knows no limits. Every line oozes charm and playboy confidence.
“Leave the Door Open” (2021)
As half of Silk Sonic (with Anderson .Paak), Bruno returned with a slow jam that made us all want to dim the lights and pour a glass of something smooth. It’s romance, harmony, and nostalgia rolled into one.
