Bruno Mars is one of those artists who really goes away when he’s not promoting something. It doesn’t feel like he’s been absent from music for years, although he hasn’t put out an album since 2012. We haven’t felt that absence because of his collabs with people like Mark Ronson (“Uptown Funk”) and his appearance at the Super Bowl this year. Anyway, he’s got a new album called 24K Magic. The first single is out and it’s doing well on iTunes. Bruno is just now getting around to giving interviews to promote the album too. He chatted with a radio station this week and he was asked about the work he did on Adele’s smash album, 25. They cowrote “All I Ask” and to hear Adele tell it, they loved working together. Bruno says that she was a “diva” although he didn’t mean it in a bad way?
When Bruno Mars first met Adele, she wasn’t what he thought she’d be. Along with Philip Lawrence and Christopher Brody Brown, the Grammy winners co-wrote the song “All I Ask” for Adele’s album, 25.
“She walks into the studio and she’s got all this attitude. She’s a diva. She’s like, ‘I don’t want to do this. I don’t like that,'” Mars, 31, recalled Tuesday in an interview with KTU 103.5’s Cubby & Carolina Bermudez in the Morning. “Then, as soon as we hit a couple chords that she liked, we started rolling—and that’s where we got that song from.”
Adele knocked it out of the park, and it didn’t take long to erase the first impression she’d made on Mars.
“She’s incredible. There was a moment when she was singing in the booth—I’m not exaggerating at all—and the water was vibrating. Like, you know, that scene in Jurassic Park? She’s got some pipes on her, and she’s just a superstar,” he said. Mars admitted he would jump at the chance to perform “All I Ask” with the 28-year-old songbird—but it’s up to her. “I don’t know what she’s waiting on, man. I’m like, ‘Come on, Adele!’ Like, send an email. Let me know!”
Maybe he didn’t mean it in a great way at first – he was actually saying that Adele knew what she wanted and she wasn’t going to fool around with their nonsense. Does that make a person a “diva,” or does that term only apply to women who know what they want? While it’s obvious that Bruno loved working with Adele, he might need to… I don’t know, stop making “diva” into a thing.
Meanwhile, did you hear that Adele endorsed Hillary Clinton? Adele told the audience at her Miami concert: “I am English, but what happens in America affects me too. Don’t vote for him. … I can’t vote, but I am 100 percent for Hillary Clinton. I love her, she’s amazing.” This will actually hurt Donald Trump personally – apparently, he is a huge, BIGLY Adele fan. He used to play her music constantly at rallies.
