Bruno Mars ft. Cee Lo Green & B.o.B - "The Other Side" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

It took me a few listens of Bruno Mars' new single "The Other Side" to really appreciate the vibe but I'm definitely starting to like it now. To be honest, I think they would have been better off with Cee-Lo starting the first verse since he's a better and more recognized singer but since it's Bruno's song that probably wasn't really an option.

This sounds like it might have been a Gnarls Barkley throw away track since it definitely has that vibe.  I feel like this song could have been a little better with a few slight changes but maybe that's just me. 

I'm not sure how Bruno Mars is going to be as a solo artist but for some reason I feel like he is going to just disappear after a few mildly successful songs that don't make it very far on the Top 100 charts.  He seems like he is better suited for singing hooks or being featured like he was on B.o.B.'s "Nothing On You" or Travis McCoy's "Billionaire".  Hopefully he proves me wrong though and comes out with a solid album.  I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong if proven otherwise.


On a side note, it kind of sucks that even though he was able to land two big guest stars in Cee-Lo and B.o.B. he wasn't able to get them to appear in the video.  I don't know if it was a scheduling conflict or label issues but that's just kind of a smack in the face.
