Bruno Mars Offers Up Debut Single “Just The Way You Are”
Bruno Mars has lent his vocals to two of the year’s biggest hits so far—B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You” and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire”—and today he finally offered up the first official single of his own. Give a listen to “Just The Way You Are,” which showcases the 24-year-old crooner’s soaring vocal ability, after the jump.

The lyrics are a little (read: way) earnest, but the song itself is quite uplifting. This is the kind of stuff that CW series producers salivate over.
And we’re digging the retro-looking single artwork. Burt Bacharach would be proud, Bruno. “Just The Way You Are” was made available on iTunes today and has already flown up to #43.
