Bruno Mars Returns With First Solo Album in 10 Years

After a decade away from solo releases, Bruno Mars is back with a new album titled The Romantic.

Released on February 27, 2026 through Atlantic Records, the nine track project marks his first solo studio effort since 24K Magic in 2016.

Running just over 30 minutes, the album centers on love and connection, blending Latin pop textures with Mars’ smooth, performance driven style.

The rollout began earlier this year with the single “I Just Might,” followed by teasers and a pop up event that built anticipation among fans.

Tracks like “Cha Cha Cha,” “Risk It All,” and “Dance With Me” continue the romantic, dance ready mood.

Initial reactions point to strong streaming numbers and praise for the production quality.

With the album now out, attention is turning to whether Mars will take The Romantic on the road for a global tour.
