Bruno Mars\u2019 music is so ubiquitous it\u2019s easy to forget he hasn\u2019t released a new solo effort in 10 years. That changes next month when The Romantic<\/em>, the singer\u2019s fourth studio album, drops February 27. The currently untitled lead single premieres Friday, January 9.<\/p>\n

Mars has kept busy since his 2016 Album of the Year-winning project 24K Magic.<\/em> In addition to a rolling Las Vegas residency, he spent 2024 dominating radio play with his Lady Gaga collab \u201cDie With a Smile,\u201d which topped the charts in more than 30 countries. Not to be outdone, he later debuted \u201cAPT,\u201d his duet with Blackpink\u2019s Ros\u00e9, which topped the charts in more than 50 countries. In 2021, he released his first and only collaborative album, An Evening With Silk Sonic<\/em>, alongside Anderson .Paak.<\/p>\n
