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 December 14, 2009, 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 positive reviews from music critics. The usage of a wide variety of influences was noted by critics, with musical comparisons made to Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz and Little Richard.[2] The album received a total of seven nominations for the Grammy Awards in 2011 and 2012 including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.[3] Mars embarked on a US headlining tour throughout November and December 2010 to promote the album. Doo-Wops & Hooligans was announced the third biggest-selling album of 2011 in the UK, selling approximately 1,214,420 copies.[4] The album has sold over 6 million copies worldwide.[5]

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.[6] Speaking to MTV News, Mars said the EP gave a "nice effect of what's in store" for the album.[7] The album cover was officially released on August 30, 2010.[8] The official track listing was revealed by Atlantic Records on September 9, 2010.[9] Three of the four songs from It's Better If You Don't Understand are included on the album.[10]

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!"[11]... 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."[12] 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!"[13]

"I've been working really hard. A lot of people think this was an overnight thing. I was in the recording studio just figuring out the production process and the writing process. It needed to happen; it was training for me to put out my own album."

—Mars explaining the development of "Doo-Wops & Hooligans".[14]

Fellow Smeezington Ari Levine confessed that they never met Needlz or Walton, who helped with the writing and production of the single "Just The Way You Are", they also never met Supa Dups who produced and wrote along with The Smeezingtons the promotional single "Liquor Store Blues" and the track "Our First Time". Since everything was done by "sending files to and fro".[15]

When he was asked about the writing credits of "The Other Side" he said the song was also written to somebody else’s track. "We redid the sounds and then added things on top of it. Then we found out that there were all these writers on the track, and we went OMG! In general, we find it easier to write songs to an existing track. We approach writing songs almost like remixes: anything can change at any point in time. There’s nothing set in stone."[15]

In addition, he confessed that "Talking to the Moon" is his favourite song from the album explaining that in the beginning they "only had the first verse and the horns, but we knew that it was great." In the midd time "We then had three different bridges and we spent a lot of time trying to find out which one was the best. Jeff Bhasker is a fantastic musician, and he helped write that track. I think we tried to arrange and produce this in four different ways, mostly trying to figure out what kind of drums to put on."[15]

Regarding the hit single "The Lazy Song", Ari explained the idea behind the track and how they came up with it "was a very tough song to write, even though it is so simple. That song began one day when we were hanging around the studio and hadn’t written a song for a few days and we were kind of burnt out and didn’t feel like working. We felt lazy. K’naan was in the studio with us, and the four of us suddenly came up with this idea. After that we had a really hard time getting the groove and the drums to sit right. Once you have one piece of the puzzle, like when you realise that a drum track is good, you can add other things in after that.”[15]

Mars confessed in an interview with Rap-Up that he dedicated a track to one of New York City’s five boroughs. “My dad is originally from Brooklyn,” Bruno states. “I think that everyone can agree that New York is a special place, so one song is called ‘Somewhere in Brooklyn.’ [The premise of that song is that] she’s somewhere in Brooklyn and I’m gonna find her.”[16]

When Philip Lawrence was asked about the single "Marry You" he said "When we were coming up with that song, we had this image of a slow-mo video in Vegas of a couple running, and she’s in her gown and he’s in his tux, the wedding party is behind them and everyone’s raging. This sort of crazy, daring, wedding feeling. It was more of a racy kind of idea, as opposed to this classic marriage tune it has become."[17]

Lawrence said that after the hit singles "Nothin' on You" and "Billionaire" the label told The Smeezingtons they had a lot of time to produce Bruno's first album. He added "but all of that went out the window when the demand changed." They called them and said "instead of six months you have one month to finish this album." He concludes: "So we were scrambling trying to finish the album, and I think “Grenade” was the last song we finished."[17]

Composition

Music and style

Primarily a pop album,[18][19][20][21] Doo-Wops and Hooligans was noted by music writers for its diverse variety of influences. Certain songs on the album contain elements rock,[22] reggae,[22] R&B,[23] soul,[20] and hip hop.[24] Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe denoted "bright melodies" and "smooth pop" in the album's music.[25] 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."[26] 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."[24] Music journalist Jody Rosen commented that the album's songs "move from power ballads to bedroom anthems to pop-reggae".[21] Lisa Binkert, from Billboard magazine, found out that the album "bobs and weaves between reggae grooves, classic Motown soul and back again to perfectly crafted pop. It's unclear where Mars falls into the musical spectrum.[14]

Mars' sound has drawn comparisons to Michael Jackson[23][27][28][29]—especially the album's "atmospheric" opener "Grenade" to "Dirty Diana"[20][30]—as well as to Jason Mraz.[24][28][31] Other comparisons in style and sound made include "Grenade" to Kanye West[24] and Shakira,[32] "Just the Way You Are" to U2,[24] "Our First Time" to "Boyz II Men"[33] and singer-songwriters D'Angelo,[22] Al B. Sure!,[20] and Sade,[24] "Runaway Baby" to Little Richard,[24] "The Lazy Song" to Sugar Ray,[23] "Marry You" to Coldplay,[24] "Liquor Store Blues" to Bedouin Soundclash,[29] and "Count On Me" to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.[34]

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"),[35] the friendship song "Count On Me" ("You can count on me like 1 2 3 / I'll be there"),[22][36] and "Marry You", a song singing of a spontaneous marriage idea.[20][37] In addition, "Runaway Baby" is a guitar-driven "snappy retro trip",[20][22] 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").[25][27][28] 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"),[20][37][38] "Talking to the Moon" ("Talking to the moon... / In hopes you're on the other side"),[20][37] and the reggae track "Liquor Store Blues" ("I'll take one shot for my pain / One drag for my sorrow").[29][31] The experimental collaboration "The Other Side" was frequently noted as the album's highlight, being the most complicated and having the best production.[1][25][39][40]

Doo-Wops & Hooligans received generally positive reviews from music critics, it was given an averaged score of 61/100, based on 13 reviews, by aggregate website Metacritic.[19] Consequence of Sound's Kevin Barber called it "fulfilling [with] very few holes" and Mars "a fresh act with full confidence in his abilities in writing, producing, and performing."[76] Entertainment Weekly‍‍ '​‍s Leah Greenblatt praised Mars' "instant-access melodies" and "sly snatches of dance-floor swagger", despite criticizing songs that deviate from conventional pop and soul styles.[20] Sean Fennessey of The Washington Post called it "effortlessly tuneful" and a good start to a "durable career".[28] Rolling Stone‍‍ '​‍s Jody Rosen called the album "the year's finest debut" whose tracks "deliver pleasure without pretension".[21] 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.[24] 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 Michael Jackson and Bob Marley."[77]

In a mixed review, Andy Gill of The Independent believed that the album "seeks too hard to display Mars' multifaceted talents".[78] Q felt that "mostly, he has little to say."[79] Tim Sendra of AllMusic called it "an uneven debut ... [that] doesn't tap into his potential as a writer or a producer".[75] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian wrote that "Bruno Mars's pop nous is spoiled by some unfortunate vegetable metaphors".[26] 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."[34] 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".[32] Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe was disappointed that the album lacked an autobiographical aspect to it, but otherwise commended Mars' delivery.[25]
