Bruno Mars will release his highly anticipated debut album, Doo–Wops & Hooligans, on October 5th. Mars scored a breakthrough hit earlier this year when he teamed up with B.o.B for his debut single, “Nothin’ On You.” Mars told us the secret behind the tune’s success.

“A lot of times pop songs, they stack their vocals, so it’s really four people singing to you, they are stacking it. ‘Nothin’ on You’ is one vocal and I think that’s what makes it really personable and really kind of vulnerable and you are just out there naked basically, kind of singing the song I think people connect with that, especially right now, you know that’s something I think we are lacking in pop music, so that ‘s something we try to bring .”

B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You” video featuring Bruno Mars is up for Best Pop Video at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. The big show airs live from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday at 9 PM Eastern on MTV.
