Eric Taylor
The R&B-fueled pop style of Top-40 staple Bruno Mars is given a soulful, heartbreaking take by Seattle-based singer/songwriter Agnes Ingarra. “Young Girls," the new promotional single from Mars' latest album, Unorthodox Jukebox, has its unapologetic confession of a player unable to change flipped upside down, this time capturing the emotional wounds of the woman.
