VIDEO: Bruno Mars – Locked Out Of Heaven

• 16th Oct 2012

The biggest selling artist of 2011 (over 5 million albums and 45 million singles sold worldwide) is back with the first single from his forthcoming second album. Last night BRUNO MARS unveiled the video for the album’s first single “Locked Out Of Heaven”.

Unorthodox Jukebox is the follow-up to his platinum certified breakthrough debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans and is released in the UK on 10 December.

As the title suggests, Unorthodox Jukebox once again sees Mars melding a multitude of music approaches to create his own distinctive sound. The album was executive produced by The Smeezingtons, the hit-making production team comprised of Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine. An additional array of top producers also joined in the creation of Unorthodox Jukebox, including such award-winning studio superstars as Jeff Bhasker (Kayne West, Jay Z), Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Black Lips) and Diplo (M.I.A, Usher).

Bruno Mars courted controversy earlier this year when he was caught in 2010 in possession of 2.6 grams of cocaine. He avoided a conviction by serving a probationary sentence consisting of a $2,000 fine, 200 hours of community service at a non-profit organisation and eight hours with a drug counsellor in Los Angeles.

And they say crime doesn’t pay.
