Description

Treasure was written by Bruno Mars along with Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, and Phredley Brown, while production was handled by Mars, Lawrence and Levine under the name of the Smeezingtons. Due to the similarities shared with Breakbot's Baby I'm Yours, new writing credits were added. The single became Mars's seventh top ten hit in the USA since his career as an artist began in 2010. It has also reached the top-ten in countries like Australia, Canada, France, Israel, and New Zealand. It also reached the top of the charts in Libya, Mexico, and South Africa. Treasure received media attention for its funk and disco vibe, which few artists have brought back, comparing it to Michael Jackson's music.

Peter Gene Hernandez (born October 8, 1985), known professionally as Bruno Mars, is an American singer-songwriter. He is known for his stage performances, retro showmanship, and for performing in a wide range of musical styles, including pop, R&B, funk, soul, reggae, disco, and rock. Mars is accompanied by his band, the Hooligans, who play a variety of instruments, such as electric guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, drums, and horns, and also serve as backup singers and disco dancers. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Mars moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to pursue a musical career. Following a brief contract with Motown Records, he first established his name in the music industry as a songwriter as a co-founder of the production team The Smeezingtons, responsible for various successful singles for Mars himself and other artists. He rose to fame as a solo artist in 2010 buoyed by the success of Nothin' on You by B.o.B and Billionaire by Travie McCoy, both of which featured his vocals. In the same year, Mars released his debut studio album Doo-Wops & Hooligans, which blended pop with reggae and R&B. It spawned the international number-one singles Just the Way You Are, Grenade and The Lazy Song. Drawing inspiration from disco, funk, rock, reggae and soul genres, his second studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), was his first number one on the US Billboard 200. Mars was featured on Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk", which topped various music charts. Mars has sold over 130 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. 8 of his songs have reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and his concert tours are some of the highest-grossing in history. He has received 15 Grammy Awards (including 3 Record of the Year wins), 4 Brit Awards, 11 American Music Awards, 13 Soul Train Awards and holds 3 Guinness World Records, among other accolades.

“The entire programme can be likened to a sumptuous feast, with each track having its own highly delectable and thoroughly satisfying flavour. The CD is surely compulsive listening for all brass and percussion enthusiasts.”
