Bruno Mars - Doo-Wops & Hooligans LP Vinyl Record

Doo-Wops & Hooligans is the debut studio album by American singer Bruno Mars. It was released on October 4, 2010, by Atlantic and Elektra Records. After the release of the EP It's Better If You Don't Understand (2010), Mars's writing and production team, the Smeezingtons, began working on the album with Needlz, Supa Dups and Jeff Bhasker as producers.

The Album draws on a variety of influences. Lyrically, the album visualises carefree optimism along with failed relationships, pain and loneliness. It was promoted primarily through the Doo-Wops & Hooligans Tour (2010–2012) and a co-headline tour with Janelle Monáe, called Hooligans in Wondaland Tour (2011), along with a number of television appearances. The album title was chosen to reflect simplicity and appeal to males and females.

Doo-Wops & Hooligans is primarily a pop, reggae pop and R&B album, also having soul, reggae and rock influences. The album was compared to works by Michael Jackson and Jason Mraz. "Just the Way You Are", "Marry You" and "Runaway Baby" are uptempo songs; the former is an optimistic ballad, with yearning falsetto vocals influenced by U2. "Marry You" is a pop song about a spontaneous marriage idea, and "Runaway Baby" has a funky pop-rock and soul beat. "Marry You" is reminiscent of Coldplay, and "Runaway Baby" evokes Little Richard. "The Lazy Song", another uptempo song, is a reggae track described as an anthem "to sloth" and a "surf stoner's" borrowing from Sugar Ray. The second single, "Grenade", is a darker song with a masochistic message channeling Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana", Kanye West's production and Shakira's style.
