The follow up to Just The Way You Are
Spyke
When I first heard Just The Way You Are earlier this year I had no idea how massive the track would become. The lovely ballad has really struck a chord with the public and is scaling the 2010 Year To Date chart. Having sold 580,000 copies it currently stands as the 8th biggest seller of the year. With six weeks before the year is out it's too early to call whether it will be able to close the 200k gap between itself and the current leader - Rihanna & Eminem with Love The Way You Lie. If we see Matt Cardle perform it again in the X Factor final then it could well be a possibility.
This track leaked around the same time as the latter and I think its fantastic, so much so that it held the title of my most played song on itunes until Katy Perry's Firework and various new Rihanna songs which have knocked it down to 4th. The song features Bruno's distinct vocals backed by a throbbing drum beat which keeps the track marching along. Grenade is going to serve as Bruno Mars' second solo single and will precede the release of his album 'Doo-wops & Hooligans' in January.
There's no way this track could live up to the same levels of success as its predecessor but it should comfortably chart top 10 both here and in the US. Having just seen the video this morning I was a little disappointed -with a song like this there is so much potential to make an epic production. But it would appear they opted for him just to be pulling a piano around town.
