- Bruno Mars announced on X that his next solo album is finished, nearly a decade after 24K Magic (2016)
- Mars has stayed active in music through Silk Sonic with Anderson .Paak and other high-profile singles
- Online reactions blended excitement with jokes, including references to past Las Vegas residency rumors
Bruno Mars has confirmed that his next solo album is complete, nearly a decade after his last full solo release.
The Grammy-winning artist shared the news on X on Monday, January 5, simply stating: “My album is done.”
This announcement ends a long wait for a new solo project from Mars. His previous album, 24K Magic, released in November 2016, produced multiple hits and earned several awards. Fans and music outlets quickly noted the significant gap between releases.
Even without solo albums, Mars has stayed active in music. He returned to the spotlight through his Silk Sonic collaboration with Anderson .Paak and continued to release duets and singles that kept him on the charts and in the awards circuit.
Reaction online combined excitement with humor. Some fans joked that a new album could help “erase” persistent gambling debt rumors tied to Mars’s Las Vegas residency—a story later disputed by MGM. Mars himself has previously poked fun at the speculation on social media.
So far, no additional details have been shared. Release date, tracklist, and tour plans remain unknown, leaving fans eagerly anticipating further updates.
