Untitled

Doo-Wops & Hooligans is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, released on October 4, 2010. Mars' writing and production team The Smeezingtons were credited with writing all songs and serve as the album's executive producers. The album's title refers to doo-wop music and was chosen to reflect simplicity, as well as appeal to both males and females.

Two digital singles—"Liquor Store Blues" featuring Damian Marley and "Grenade"—were released to promote the album. Lead single "Just the Way You Are" was released on July 19, 2010, and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four consecutive weeks, going on to become an international top ten hit. "Grenade" was later announced as the second single, and has charted in the top ten in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, as well as becoming his second consecutive number one in the US and UK. "The Lazy Song" was released as the third official single from the album in Spring 2011, peaking at #4 on the Hot 100 and becoming his third consecutive number one single in the UK as a solo artist.

Doo-Wops & Hooligans charted at number three on the Billboard 200 and in the top ten of music charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. The album received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics. The usage of a wide variety of influences was noted by critics, with musical comparisons made to Michael Jackson and Jason Mraz. The album received two nominations for the 54th Grammy Awards in two categories, Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.[2] Mars embarked on a US headlining tour throughout November and December 2010 to promote the album.

Background and development

The release of Doo-Wops & Hooligans was announced in a press release on August 25, 2010, following the release of Mars' debut EP, It's Better If You Don't Understand, earlier in the year.[3] Speaking to MTV News, Mars said the EP gave a "nice effect of what's in store" for the album.[4] The album cover was officially released on August 30, 2010.[5] The official track listing was revealed by Atlantic Records on September 9, 2010.[6] Three of the four songs from It's Better If You Don't Understand are included on the album.[7]

On the title of the album, Mars said, "'Doo-wop' is a very special word for me. Because I grew up listening to my dad who, as a Fifties rock & roll head, loved doo-wop music... Plus doo wop songs come from a time back in the day when there were no TRICKS! You just needed a beautiful melody, you needed a beautiful voice, and you needed to CONNECT!... So the 'doo-wop' part is for the women!"[8]... But then because, on this album, I have records that women are going to relate to and men are going to relate to, the doo-wops are for the girls and hooligans are for the guys."[9] In addition, he told 4Music, "It explains the two sides of me. Doo-wop is a special form of music I grew up on. It's straight to the point, very simple. I have songs like that. ... I have that simple, romantic side of me but I'm also just a young, regular dude and that's like the hooligan side!"[10]

Composition

Music and style

Primarily a pop album,[11][12][13][14] Doo-Wops and Hooligans was noted by music writers for its diverse variety of influences. Certain songs on the album contain elements rock,[15] reggae,[15] R&B,[16] soul,[13] and hip hop.[17] Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe denoted "bright melodies" and "smooth pop" in the album's music.[18] The Guardian's Alexis Petridis noted "takes on Michael Jacksonish pop soul, Coldplay-style arena rock and a stab at 1960s R&B", but added that the album's "default setting" is "acoustic pop-reggae" and recalls Mars' contribution to Travie McCoy's Billionaire", with "laid-back soft rock, with gentle reggae inflections, hang-loose sentiments and all."[19] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times wrote that Mars has "a light, soul-influenced voice that's an easy fit in a range of styles", and that he and The Smeezingtons have "a firm grip on the full spectrum of black pop, and white pop as well."[17] Music journalist Jody Rosen commented that the album's songs "move from power ballads to bedroom anthems to pop-reggae".[14]

Mars' sound has drawn comparisons to Michael Jackson[16][20][21][22]—especially the album's "atmospheric" opener "Grenade" to "Dirty Diana"[13][23]—as well as to Jason Mraz.[17][21][24] Other comparisons in style and sound made include "Grenade" to Kanye West[17] and Shakira,[25] "Just the Way You Are" to U2,[17] "Our First Time" to "Boyz II Men"[26] and singer-songwriters D'Angelo,[15] Al B. Sure!,[13] and Sade,[17] "Runaway Baby" to Little Richard,[17] "The Lazy Song" to Sugar Ray,[16] "Marry You" to Coldplay,[17] "Liquor Store Blues" to Bedouin Soundclash,[22] and "Count on Me" to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.[27]

Lyrical themes

Lyrically, many tracks have been described as "feel-good", carefree, and optimistic, including love song "Just the Way You Are" ("When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while"),[28] the friendship song "Count on Me" ("You can count on me like 1 2 3 / I'll be there"),[15][29] and "Marry You", a song singing of a spontaneous marriage idea.[13][30] In addition, "Runaway Baby" is a guitar-driven "snappy retro trip"[13][15] and "The Lazy Song" is described as a "hymn to sloth" and a "surf stoner's anthem" ("I be loungin' on the couch just chillin' in my Snuggie / click to MTV so they can teach me how to Dougie").[18][20][21] On the other hand, darker subjects are addressed in "Grenade", the album's masochistic heartbreak song ("Take a bullet straight through my brain / Yes, I would die for ya baby"),[13][30][31] "Talking to the Moon" ("Talking to the moon... / In hopes you're on the other side"),[13][30] and the reggae track "Liquor Store Blues" ("I'll take one shot for my pain / One drag for my sorrow").[22][24] The experimental collaboration "The Other Side" was frequently noted as the album's highlight, being the most complicated and having the best production.[1][18][32][33]

Release and promotion

Doo-Wops & Hooligans saw its premiere on Myspace on September 24 and was released to digital retailers on October 4, then to stores on October 5, 2010.[6][59] A deluxe edition was released that includes two more tracks: a remix of "Just the Way You Are" featuring Lupe Fiasco and "Somewhere in Brooklyn", originally from It's Better If You Don't Understand.[54][60] The deluxe edition also includes the music videos of "Just the Way You Are" and "The Other Side".[60]

Upon its release, Doo-Wops & Hooligans received mixed to positive reviews from music critics; it was given a normalized rating of 61/100, based on thirteen reviews on the aggregate website Metacritic.[12] Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt gave the album a B+ rating, praising Mars for his "instant-access melodies" and "sly snatches of dance-floor swagger", but noting weaknesses in songs deviant from his conventional pop and soul genres.[13] Sean Fennessey of The Washington Post gave the album a favorable review, calling it "effortlessly tuneful" and a good start to a "durable career".[21] Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen called the album "the year's finest debut" whose tracks "deliver pleasure without pretension".[14] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called Doo-Wops & Hooligans a "fantastically polyglot record that shows him to be a careful study across a range of pop songcraft", applauding its diverse range of influences.[17] Tom Gockelen-Kozlowski of The Daily Telegraph called it "a really exciting debut" and complimented "the Kanye West-style genre-bending on Grenade, The Other Side and Our First Time, which joins the dots between between Michael Jackson and Bob Marley."[66]

However, Q gave it two out of five stars and commented that "mostly, he has little to say."[67] Tim Sendra of allmusic gave the album a rating of three stars out of five, calling it "an uneven debut ... [that] doesn't tap into his potential as a writer or a producer". Sendra commended the earlier released song "The Other Side" as the highlight of the album, noting, though, that it "points to a direction Mars could have taken with the album but didn't".[1] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian gave the album a rating of two stars out of five, commenting "Bruno Mars's pop nous is spoiled by some unfortunate vegetable metaphors".[19] Eric Henderson writing for Slant Magazine criticized the album, saying it "manages to wear out its welcome about halfway through", calling it an attempt to "please just about everybody."[27] Scott Kara of The New Zealand Herald enjoyed the first two tracks of the album, but noted it could have had more of both titular elements to raise its "potency".[25] Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe was disappointed that the album lacked an autobiographical aspect to it, but otherwise commended Mars' delivery.[18]

Commercial performance

In the United States, Doo-Wops & Hooligans debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart for the week of October 13, 2010, selling 55,000 copies.[68] Since then the album has sold 1,258,500 copies in the United States and was also certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.[69][70] The album debuted the same week on the Canadian Albums Chart at number six, and reached the top of the chart four months later.[71][72] The album peaked at number one in the UK, in the top five in New Zealand and Australia, and number twenty-nine in Ireland.[73][74][75] In 2011, Doo-Wops & Hooligans was certified Platinum in New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the UK.[76][77][78][79] As of December 2011, the album had sold 1,037,039 copies in the UK, becoming the third album in 2011 to accumulate one million sales.[80][81] Debuting at number one, Doo-Wops & Hooligans is the first debut album of a foreign artist to reach number one on the German Albums Chart since Lady Gaga's The Fame did so in January 2010.
