A new album with a release date, announced directly by Bruno Mars
On his social media, Bruno Mars initially posted a simple message, "My album is finished," before specifying the details of his comeback: the project is titled "The Romantic," and its release is set for February 27th. The launch is starting earlier than expected: the first single from the album is due to be released this Friday, January 9th.
The album comes after a long solo hiatus. Bruno Mars' last album under his own name, "24K Magic," dates back to 2016. This decade without a new solo album, however, did not resemble a disappearance: the artist continued to record and release music, but mainly through collaborations.

With "The Romantic", Bruno Mars takes back control of a solo studio album, and puts his name back at the center, with a tight release strategy: an immediate single, then a full album a few weeks later.
