My choices of songs for this column are usually for a song that I think you may not have heard yet, or for a mix of a song that either is, or may have been, popular recently.
I originally decided to choose songs that may be good for a workout session (exercise that is), as I had found it hard to get songs that were good to work out to.
Chart-topping songs do not often lend themselves to a good up-tempo beat to jog, skip or have a brisk walk to, so I have leaned heavily toward mixes to get the job done. And this week is no different.
Today I am choosing someone that is almost good enough to be viewed as the next Michael Jackson, although if his musical career ever hits a lull, he could definitely have a second career as a Sammy Davis Junior look-a-like.
Bruno Mar is a pint-sized singer and songwriter, who has hit the top of the charts over the last few years with songs like Grenade, Billionaire, Bulletproof, Lighters and The Lazy Song, and has written hits like Forget You for Cee Lo Green.
The guy just seems to have hit after hit, and unlike some others, he can actually sing.
One of his latest hits Locked Out Of Heaven is my song of choice for this week, but not the original, The Cazzettes mix is the one you need to check out. Hopefully it will help you get a sweat on. You can listen to the song by typing the following in to you Internet browser's address bar: youtube.com/watch?v=qzweolyD0-w.
