Finesse

About Finesse

"Finesse" is a song by American singer Bruno Mars from his third studio album, 24K Magic (2016). The song was written by Mars, Philip Lawrence, Christopher Brody Brown, James Fauntleroy, Jonathan Yip, Ray Romulus, Jeremy Reeves and Ray McCullough II. The former three produced the track under the name Shampoo Press & Curl along with the latter four, as The Stereotypes. The song was composed after a jam session as Mars wanted to recreate the "new jack swing sound". Atlantic Records released a remix version, featuring verses from American rapper Cardi B, as the album's final single on January 4, 2018, to digital stores and streaming services. Musically, it is a new jack swing song with a light influence of R&B. Its lyrics demonstrate the happiness of being with who one loves and the positive outcome of that for them and others. "Finesse" was well received by music critics, who complimented Cardi B's verses, on the remix, and compared them to the old-school hip hop flow. Moreover, according to critics, the song evokes the sound of Bobby Brown's album Don't Be Cruel (1988), Bell Biv DeVoe's "Poison" (1990), and Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time" (1992). The song was a commercial success, peaking at number two in New Zealand, number three in the United States and Canada. It was certified platinum by the Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ) and four times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The single has also entered the top ten of Australia, Ireland, Netherlands and the United Kingdom. It was certified three times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and once by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). more »
