Bruno Mars is set to release a new single this Friday, January 9th. The song will be the first preview of his upcoming album, The Romantic, scheduled for release on February 27th by Atlantic.
A Return to Solo Work
This album marks Mars’s first full solo project since 2016’s 24K Magic, which earned six Grammy Awards. Despite the gap between albums, Mars has remained active in music, collaborating with Lady Gaga on “Die With a Smile” and ROSÉ on “APT.” over the past 18 months.
Continued Success
Mars’s collaborative work extends to the Silk Sonic project with Anderson .Paak. Their 2021 debut album, An Evening With Silk Sonic, garnered significant acclaim, with the single “Leave the Door Open” winning both Record and Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards, as well as Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.
Fans can pre-order The Romantic here.
Following the single release, the full album is expected on February 27th. It remains to be seen how The Romantic will build upon the success of his previous work. A strong album launch could lead to a tour, further extending the project’s reach. Alternatively, Mars may choose to focus on additional collaborations or other creative endeavors.
