How the Silk Sonic singer has cemented his legacy as a go-to duet partner for chart-topping female performers.
The American chart-topper has collaborated with a number of leading ladies. In his decades-long career, Bruno Mars has shown that he’s just as good at owning the stage as he is at sharing the spotlight.
Over the years, he’s amassed hits with powerful duets – while his collaboration with Anderson .Paak, best known as Silk Sonic, has been a highlight, he has also achieved unforgettable career highs with other women.
His notable collaborations include leading ladies like Cardi B, Lady Gaga, and most recently, Rosé of Blackpink.
The K-pop star, 27, soared in global success following the release of “APT.” with Bruno. The tune was so catchy that final year students in South Korea reported fears they wouldn’t be able to pass their exams because all they would have in their heads was the cheerful single.
Rosé, real name Roseanne Park, who has recently come out with her debut solo album “Rosie”, has praised her 39-year-old co-star, who has become a mentor figure for her.
Elsewhere, Cardi B has gone as far as to say Bruno can have her ‘kidney’ if he ever needs it, whereas Lady Gaga has gushed about his ‘next level’ talent.
Bruno’s immense success in creating music with some of the charts’ favorite female artists has earned their endless trust and respect.
ROSÉ
Bruno’s most recent collaborations surprised many – when he lent his vocals to K-pop idol Rosé’s earworm, “APT.”, named after a Korean drinking game. The reception for the song was astronomical, with people branding it the next Gangnam Style, celebrating the American and Asian cultural collaboration.
Speaking on the podcast “Therapuss with Jake Shane”, the singer said she and Bruno are now ‘besties’, despite his ‘outrageous’ humour.
LADY GAGA
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars were already established titans in the music scene when they came out with their hit single this year, “Die With A Smile”. Their success was beyond astronomical, with the tune racking up more than a billion plays.
Gaga expressed her admiration for Bruno, stating, “Bruno’s talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level.”
CARDI B
Bruno and hip-hop star Cardi B have often been described as each other’s ‘work husband’ and ‘work wife’ due to their upbeat collaborations. They created two club classics – “Please Me” and “Finesse remix” – solidifying their legacy as a power duo.
It was amid her partnerships with Bruno that Cardi’s career took a dramatic leap, leading to her award-winning record “Invasion of Privacy”.
Cardi expressed her gratitude, stating, “I want to thank you so much! You gave me rhythm.”
