Besides Nxworries' "Scared Money" I haven't heard anything else by Anderson Paak. Regardless, this is interesting. Incidentally I've kind of been on a Bruno kick lately. Looking forward to new music.

Thank God bc I was losing hope we get anything from him before November. It's good to know he keeps doing whatever he wants and he looks good!

I'm so glad he's back. I would never wear a single item of that collection, but I am here for some silky sexy Bruno music.

He looks like he's gotten slimmer in the face. Looks good!

The beginning sounds like his other song.
But I do like the song overall. It’s very charming. Bruno sounds amazing as usual.

The beginning sounds like his other song. You mean That's What I Like? It popped into my head too, but then it really takes off during the bridge.

Despite Anderson. Paak's recent controversial lyrics, I ain't mad at this. I'm interested with the collabs for this era.

This reminds me of “Calling All My Lovelies” in a good way. The harmonies towards the end are my fav! Bruno sounds so good.

It is the most instant single for me for a major artist in a long time.
It is settled, MR. BRUNO MARS IS MY FAVORITE MALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME.
Just WOW!
ETA - It's also a nice consolation for not releasing "Too Good To Say Goodbye" as a single.

ETA - It's also a nice consolation for not releasing "Too Good To Say Goodbye" as a single. Met and exceeded all my expectations for this!!!! I LOOOOOOOOOVE THIS. I was also so salty about Too Good To Say Goodbye, what I consider the best thing he has ever recorded (my opinion). The Calling all My Lovelies reference was also nice to read before I heard this, cause that's one of my favorite tracks off 24k Magic. I am fully in, locked and loaded, let me have the silk Bruno. LET ME HAVE IT!

Love the single. Gives me 70s Motown ballad vibes.. agree with the comparisons to "Too Good To Say Goodbye," but I like this one more. Can't wait for the album. Bruno always delivers.

I'd go even further. For me Leave The Door Open as the lead single serves justice for Mars hidden gems on albums, in general. Especially: Calling all my Lovelies and Too Good to Say Goodbye from 24k Magic (Well, mainly TGTSG, because he didn't perform it anywhere). Moonshine from Unorthodox Jukebox, Our First Time from Doo-Wops & Hooligans. I've always thought you could find better songs on his album despite what his singles reflect. (still quality, just more mainstream). But getting a lead when he's just vibing and is having a good time, is a major move in the right direction, IMHO...

For a second I didn't think I was going to get into "Leave The Door Open" from the Itunes sample. I was wrong though I love it. Brings me back to some of his prior 70's/Motown influenced tracks. "Intro" is good as well. Which it was longer..

But, he does take the risk sometimes. He did release Finesse, he did release When I Was Your Man. But what does annoy me is that those songs, and most of 24K magic, people discredit as just "throwback" music. I mean, yes, he's bringing back old school sounds, but he doesn't get the credit he deserves for turning them into fresh sounding modern hits. Bruno is so skilled at honing into timeless sounding music, and I'm so happy when he chooses to release music like Leave The Door Open. I mean, look at that video, look at those INSTRUMENTS, listen to those harmonies, the visuals, it's so yesterday, it's so today, it's also SO Bruno.

Don't love this as much as I was hoping to. It's got great production and is a nice throwback song, but it doesn't sound like a hit to me at all. Versace On The Floor >>>>>

OMG I didn't realize "Intro" was it's own separate 'thing' - I thought you were talking about the intro to "Leave the Door Open" until I went back to Apple Music to have a listen. Oh, if these two are indicative of the album, we are in for a treat! They should drop the whole thing next week.
