Watch: Bruno Mars’ Late 70s-Inspired “Locked Out Of Heaven” Video

Bruno Mars’ VHS-Style “Locked Out of Heaven” Music Video

Inspired by the late ’70s/early ’80s, Bruno Mars has released the official video for “ Locked Out of Heaven ,” the official lead single from his upcoming second studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox , which is set to be released on December 11th.

The high energy uptempo track was produced by Mark Ronson , Jeff Bhasker , Emile Haynie , and his production team — The Smeezingtons .

Directed by Cameron Duddy, who also directed the video for “The Lazy Song,” the stripped-back visuals take on a distorted VHS-like feel and capture the song’s fun reggae-fusion/pop/soul production.

“The concept is just old-fashioned fun. No story line, it’s not me singing to a girl, you get a good sense of what you’re going to get live,” Bruno said. “It’s very VHS-y. I love that man, it takes me back to my childhood, when the tracking is off and the color is off, there’s a beauty in that. You’d have to stand by the TV with, like, aluminum foil all over you.”
