Funky, I love the sound of that, like Bruno's music! Funky is good, but Adam went there with Trespassing, so I hope for something new. Bruno is good and successful, but to me is beginning to come across as funk/Prince tribute act... JMO! Wow, someone who feels exactly the way I do. I thought that Uptown Funk just sound like a rip-off from the 70s and he's done that with other songs too (sound-alikes of Alicia Keys, Sting) and if I remember correctly, even Adam said one of his songs sounds like an Adele song? Also, don't like his lyrics, his look, etc. And he gets arrested for cocaine and no one cares, but it seems a bigger deal was made of Adam's arrest in Finland. Anyway, JMO too!

I am looking forward to the music Adam is making with Nile. I am thinking Nile "Funky" .................. ..........with an AFL "twist" added!! OH! YEAH!! ETA:

I am first going to listen before going all judgmental about a tune, just on the basis that other people have copied supposedly from others. In fact, of all the ways how you could evaluate new music, the one thing that I would blindly give Adam a 10 out of 10 on is originality.
He has over the last years given me so many completely different sounds, so many styles, so much variety, that I am not sure how that can all spring from one person's artistic mind...yes, I know he has help, but anyhow...his footprints are all over every track. The variety from an introverted Broken Open to a silly Down the Rabbit Hole, to a Rock / Pop song like Running, to a funky track like Trespassing or Shady, to a ballad like CLYG, to a dance track like Pop This Lock, to a mysterious deep yet dancy track like Ghost Town, it may be hard to pinpoint Adam's style due to variety, but one thing you cannot say, is that it is a copy of something else. It is a wonderful exotic variety on display, an eclectic buffet of experimental enjoyment. And it allowed me a lot of learning about music along the way, exactly because it was sidestepping the usual. A lot of Adam's music is quirky, unorthodox, 'out of the box', the one thing it certainly is not, is either boring or a copy.
Just because we mostly non-artists cannot think of something new, does not mean that he cannot. He has proven with every album he has made, that he most certainly can, and I have enjoyed them all, some songs instantly, some others grew on me, but even after all these years, I enjoy grabbing any one of his albums and listen to them. They age well.
Now you throw Nile in there too, and you certainly have a lot of creative energy, maybe you also have two loose cannons, that I am not sure about, but you are certain to get something interesting. So, if funk is what they went for with that song, then I am all up for that, I am sure that other tracks will have other flavors and I bet there will be something for everybody.

Bruno has talked about the Cocaine arrest, which was 5 years ago, and the press did make a big deal out of it. There was a great interview with Bruno on the pre Grammy show by 60 Minutes. If anyone if curious, here is the link. They have it separated into several videos. I love some of his songs and hate some. But, The man has worked hard to get where he has & IMO, is very talented. www.cbsnews.com/news/bruno-mars-on-songwriting-60-minutes-overtime/

I don't think he is ripping off prince at all. He's very talented. His Prince Tribute was very good. And of course the Adam connection is Never Close Our Eyes. Which personally I think is one of Adams most underrated Pop Tracks.

I like Nile. What I was agreeing with is that I just don't like Bruno Mars. I don't find him original and his voice is whiny. Here is a mashup of the Bruno Mars song that sounds like the Alicia Keys song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iApO3n9s_Uo Shady to me didn't sound like something copied from the the 70s, although I read some comments that it sounded like a Stevie Wonder song. ETA: Sorry I put the wrong link of the mashup. Just corrected it.
