What another solid week of new music. The fall season has so far proven to be full of great albums worth checking out. So, instead of halfway bootlegging your favorite tunes through Grooveshark like everyone else, go out and show support by purchasing a CD! …or at least subscribing to Rdio or something. Shouts out to AmazonMP3 for the streams.
Doo-Wops & Hooligans – Bruno Mars
The debut album from the songwriter extraordinaire opens up this week. Production is handled by The Smeezingtons, which is comprised of Phillip Lawrence, Ari Levine, and Mr. Mars himself. After the success of “Just the Way You Are”, you can expect to see this album do quite well on the charts. The question is, will it do well enough to make him the breakthrough artist of 2010?
