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."9 e+ q! r. o1 o1 M
