Bruno Mars fans, rejoice, new music is finally on the way.
The Grammy-winning pop icon took to social media to announce that he finished his next album, his first solo record since 2016's Grammy-winning LP "24k Magic."
“My album is done," he wrote on X.
My album is done.

"24K Magic" spawned hits like “That’s What I Like” and “24K Magic” and swept six trophies at the 2018 Grammys.
While he hasn’t been absent from the spotlight — thanks to the wildly successful Silk Sonic collaboration with Anderson .Paak and a string of high-profile collaborations — this marks Mars’ first solo studio album in nearly a decade.
In the time since "24K Magic," the pop icon has been selective with his output but impactful when he makes music.
In 2021, Mars and .Paak released "An Evening With Silk Sonic," an homage to ’70s funk and soul that earned rave reviews and swept the Grammys.
In 2024, he featured on the global hit “APT.” featuring BLACKPINK’s Rosé, which won song of the year at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards — a first for a K-pop act — and in November, it earned three Grammy Award nominations, including for record and song of the year.
Mars also released “Die With a Smile” with Lady Gaga in 2024, and the playfully provocative “Fat Juicy & Wet” with Sexyy Red in 2025.
He’s also stayed in orbit of the rock world, most recently performing at an all-star corporate holiday party alongside Slash, Eddie Vedder, Brandi Carlile, and others — suggesting the new record could carry more eclectic, live instrumentation influences.
Whatever the direction, it’s clear Bruno Mars is heading for another chart-dominating chapter.
