Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out Of Heaven”: Hear The New Single

Bruno Mars premiered his new single “Locked Out Of Heaven” Monday night (October 1). It’s the lead single off his sophomore LP Unorthodox Jukebox (out December 11), and though it’s retro, it mines a completely different era than the fedoras-and-bouffants epoch from Doo-Wops & Hooligans. This time, Mars has channeled new wave, of all things. The angular guitars and Mars’ Sting-like staccato delivery are heavily indebted to The Police, but then the chorus goes into straight synth-pop territory. i don't feeling this song and you?
