I thought the album was like a parody at first, the latin influences are so on the nose I wasn’t quite sure what sort of album I was listening to. The middle of the album has a couple of really strong tracks. It’s a bit classic ballad heavy for a 9 track album.
Can’t wrap my head around the album yet, it’s just a collection of pop songs and doesn’t feel like a cohesive album, but maybe that’s what a Bruno Mars album sounds like, I can’t actually remember …
