Chrismanbass Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just heard Bruno Mars' new single locked out of heaven has a very police/dire straits vibe to it to be honest i kinda like it [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-fA-gBCkj0&feature=youtube_gdata_player"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-fA-gBCkj0&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/url] thoughts?

gelfin Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sounds a bit like Gotye as well, to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razze06 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not quite classy or arrogant enough to be Police.... So Lonely in a Bottle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Know what you mean. It's quite good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) it's that generic i'd say 'message from a bottle' btw...is the video relic'd or road worn ? Edited October 30, 2012 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiltyG565 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 somebody should tell him he can take the mic out of the stand, rather than taking the whole mic clip off the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Was played on the radio a few weeks ago, all the DJ's said the same...quite catchy mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 most stuff reminds me of something else these days, it's an age thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywoodrox Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes it sounds like a mixture of all the stuff off regatta de blanc, this does not sound a quarter as good though, regatta is an awesome classic in my book, 3 uber talented musicians, I. Fact I might listen to the title track in a minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 the intro and first verse has similar sounding guitar and the vocals kind of sound similar at the start but after the first chorus, the song morphs into something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Now that's a good idea!! I've looked out my "Message In A Box" set. Time to have fun playing along to those classic tracks.

The Dark Lord Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Nothing overly Police-like about this to me. The drums would have to be considerably better than this to sound Police-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, was thinkin exactly the same thing when I heard it in the motor today on R2, nice heavy bass, I thought she said it was Olly Mars or summat? and then I thought 'hang on should I own up to liking this', but yeah it floats my boat.

stu_g Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 i did hear this on the radio this week and thought parts of it where police lite ! he seems to vary his music quite alot i didnt even realise it was Bruno mars at first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 having just listend to that all my thoughts: good enough that I didn't turn it off not bad... but.... don't you think they skimped on the production/instumentation a bit? in the verse it works but then in the chorus and onwards it just feels like someone couldn't be bothered.

Rich Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The bassline on the new Maroon 5 single is lifted wholesale from "The Bed's Too Big Without You". Totally stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I like it. I'm a huge Police fan and its nice to hear a bit of an homage to the early stuff (they should've got SC to do some of his hi hat work on it, that would've been awesome sounding, as always). I also hear some Journey in there with the synths and anthemic vocal part. I don't mind that its a rip frankly (ultimately there isn't much that doesn't 'borrow' from other sounds/songs), at least it doesn't make me want to head butt the PC like some of the stuff I hear.
