tons of other artists try to milk nostalgia and fail miserably (or hit a certain ceiling only),, while this motherfucker is the definition of a hitmaker. how does he do it?

and who is going to do the same with the 00s sound in a few years?

height

probably the blow or gambling addiction

his voice is great
performances are great
pen is great

that rose apt song is pure s\*\*\* tho

because he’s amazing just the way he is

couldn't tell you lol

Might be the right place at the right time. He is talented and a great performer. But the stars might’ve just aligned for him.

his music (or the hits anyway) always sounds like karaoke to me. not really an imitation, but not doing anything interesting enough

Excellent singer and performer
Mastered writing/producing hits

Literally this is it

People harp on his music not being innovative but he doesn’t claim to be or try to be
He just makes jams and pays respect to the greats that came before him

I used dislike Bruno but once unorthodox jukebox came out

he makes hits

Bros a master at his craft

Yeah I think people just aren’t used to a traditional popstar in modern times tbh lol

he's just a good songwriter

also produces his own stuff so everything works together

Damn.

in music 99% of the time you disappear if you're not putting anything new to the table. bruno is a contradiction that i find hard to figure out

voodoo was self-reportedly full of covers and re-interpretations of 60s/70s blues-funk-soul songs yet had its own flavor and authenticity that brought its legendary status.

you can say that for most top40 artists though

Cocaine

Nostalgia
