Mars's music crosses over between pop, R&B, soul and hip hop, and he is known for conjuring up different musical eras within his albums. He reimagined 1940s doo-wop music for his 2010 debut album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans," and revived sounds of Motown and 1970s disco in "Unorthodox Jukebox."+ b6 f3 A' X( v2 ]1 A+ A
