A double surprise from Bruno Mars

He has become so successful as an artist and we all like to think that he gets all that talent from the Filipino part of his heritage. He is great at being a singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, etc. etc. Why? Pinoy kasi.

I think we should also include shrewd businessman to that list. Just take a look at how he has been handling his career lately and see how he stays on top. Well, Bruno had already proven himself a true hitmaker with Uptown Funk, Just The Way You Are, That's What I Like, Versace on the Floor, plus many others. After all those big-selling songs, he had certainly earned a rest and should simply relax at home and live off his many zeroed royalty checks.

Then just when all seemed quiet for quite a while on the Bruno front, there came Bruno merged with Anderson .Paak as the pop R&b band Silk Sonic. And wow! They were doing a sexy new single titled Leave the Door Open. The song was lovely.
