Bruno Mars - 'Locked Out of Heaven' (Video)

Bruno Mars has recently unveiled the music video for "Locked Out of Heaven", the lead single from his upcoming sophomore album "Unorthodox Jukebox" in stores everywhere December 10...Watch above!

Produced and written by Mark Ronson and The Smeezingtons, "Locked Out of Heaven" is an upbeat track, very reminiscent of a Sting/The Police tune, which I'm hoping will smash on the Hot 100 'cause I'm totally hooked on it! I was a bit on the fence from the first listens but now I'm loving it. "Locked Out of Heaven" is so unlike anything on radios right now, plus it gives you that good vibes. Bruno's clearly taking a risk with this first single choice but I trust in the USA audience, I'm sure they'll make the song the hit it deserves to be. That being said, I'm a lot disapppointed by its music video. It has to be Bruno's worst by far. The "Locked Out of Heaven" video is basically a 'live performance' effort that sees a sweaty Bruno Mars rocking a stage at a tiny venue before some very ecstatic fans (are they all high?). That effect! Yikes...whose idea it was?. It gives me a headache,,,lol. In any case, to say at least one good thing about this video, it captures in some way the nod-along energy I get from hearing the song. It deserved better though.

What do you think of the video?
