Bruno Mars has officially revealed plans for his next solo album, The Romantic, scheduled for release in late February. The project will be his first full length solo studio album since 2016, marking a long awaited return to solo authorship. New single “I Just Might” arrives as the first taste of the album and sets the tone for what’s ahead.
In the years since his last solo release, Mars has stayed firmly in the spotlight through high profile collaborations, chart success, and sold out performances, including his work as part of Silk Sonic. While those projects kept his presence strong, The Romantic signals a renewed focus on his individual artistic voice.
To support the album, Mars has also announced a major stadium tour spanning the US and Europe. Running throughout the year, the tour will mark his return to large scale headline shows and positions the album as a complete era built around performance and connection with audiences.
The tour’s supporting lineup blends familiar collaborators with newer artists influencing modern R&B and pop. Rather than reinventing himself, Mars appears to be leaning into continuity, grounding this release within the musical lineage that has always shaped his sound. With The Romantic, Bruno Mars steps back into the solo spotlight with confidence and clarity.
