Bruno Mars took home even more hardware at the 2018 Grammys.
After winning song of the year for “That’s What I Like,” Mars won the record of the year Grammy for “24K Magic.”
24K Magic is the title track of the Hawaiian-born singer’s third album, which revives his mix of fun-loving retro funk but adds touches of 1980’s – inspired synthesizers.
Mars, explaining the song in an interview, said he saw his mission as bringing good times in an often difficult world.
“For me, 95% of music is about love. That’s why cavemen were hitting stones – to get everybody around the fire and get them feeling sexy.”
Mars previously won Record of the Year two years ago as the featured artist on Mark Ronson’s equally giddy Uptown Funk. He was nominated three previous times in the category without winning.
He beat out the global sensation Despacito as well as songs by rappers Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino.
