Nostalgia anni ’90 nel nuovo singolo di Bruno Mars, intitolato “Versace on the floor”. Uno stile musicale raffinato ed elegante, autentico marchio di fabbrica dell’artista statunitense, più volte accostato a grandi nomi del passato: “Non sono il secondo Michael Jackson o il secondo Prince – ha più volte dichiarato – loro sono i miei idoli, è vero, ma io non voglio essere la copia di nessuno, sono solo il primo Bruno Mars”.
Il brano rappresenta il secondo estratto dal suo terzo disco di inediti “24K magic“, pubblicato lo scorso 18 Novembre dall’Atlantic Records. Moltissime le contaminazioni presenti nell’album, dall’R&B al funk, non tralasciando richiami al soul e all’hip hop. Nella scaletta del disco, composta da nove brani, troviamo: 1. 24K magic, 2. Chunky, 3. Perm, 4. That’s what I like, 5. Versace on the floor, 6. Straight up & down, 7. Calling all my lovelies, 8. Finesse, 9 Too good to say goodbye.
Tornando al singolo, “Versace on the floor” è un chiaro richiamo (e forse anche un omaggio) alla nota azienda di moda italiana fondata dallo stilista Gianni ed attualmente gestita dai fratelli Santo e Donatella. Nel testo, Bruno Mars invita la propria amata a concedersi a lui, togliendosi di dosso i suoi abiti firmati.
VERSACE ON THE FLOOR audio
VERSACE ON THE FLOOR testo
Let’s take our time tonight, girl
above us all the stars are watchin’
there’s no place I’d rather be in this world
your eyes are where I’m lost in
underneath the chandelier
we’re dancin’ all alone
there’s no reason to hide
what we’re feelin’ inside
right now
So baby let’s just turn down the lights
and close the door
oooh I love that dress
but you won’t need it anymore
no you won’t need it no more
let’s just kiss ‘til we’re naked, baby
Versace on the floor
oooh take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl
Versace on the floor
oooh take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl
I unzip the back to watch it fall
while I kiss your neck and shoulders
no don’t be afraid to show it off
I’ll be right here ready to hold you
girl you know you’re perfect from
your head down to your heels
don’t be confused by my smile
‘cause I ain’t ever been more for real, for real
So just turn down the lights
and close the door
oooh I love that dress
but you won’t need it anymore
no you won’t need it no more
let’s just kiss ‘til we’re naked, baby
Versace on the floor
oooh take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl
Versace on the floor
oooh take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl
It’s warmin’ up
can you feel it?
it’s warmin’ up
can you feel it?
it’s warmin’ up
can you feel it, baby?
it’s warmin’ up
oh, seems like you’re ready for more, more, more
let’s just kiss ‘til we’re naked
Versace on the floor
hey baby
take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl
Versace on the floor
oooh take it off for me, for me, for me, for me now, girl
Versace on the floor
floor
