He just announced two new stadium concerts, in Singapore and in Thailand

But he said these shows in Japan would be the final ones before the next era

Unless he’s about to drop new music and these performances in March and April in Asia are part of the promo?

sauce from early

The 24k Magic world tour ended December 2018. And Silk Sonic started a new era in 2021. Nothing else makes sense lol it doesn't matter if his setlist stayed the same

Well, it is to me... They are all the same "era" of his career

Night 1

And he sang this song

Since it’s the new trend right now, just wanna say Bruno already did the 90s thing seven years ago

So underrated

The love Bruno gets around the world is wild. People basically worship the ground he walks on 😭 meanwhile in his country, I feel like he wouldn't even be a support act in a festival like Bonnaroo

username + avi

thats special ngl

I hope he gives James Fauntleroy a feature and gives him a #1 as a singer not just writer

🎰

It’s done. Bruno just finished the 7th and final night of his Japan concerts.

The biggest shows by an international act in Japan in the 21st century, and international act with the most dates at the Tokyo Dome since MJ and the Rolling Stones in the 90s.

And he just announced two more dates in Singapore in April due to the high demand. He said that THIS TIME these are actually the final shows before the next era.

What if said something like this is the direction that I want from him next?

Thoughts? @robotney @KingOfPop

I kinda see it. I’d like a more modern infused album next time around I think.

Don’t get me wrong, 24k and Silk are amazing but it’s time for a new direction

That’s What I Like is kinda what I’m thinking

Hololive won

that first pic is crazy

Y'all think he's gonna top 24k?
I feel that's gonna be his magnum opus

Nice!

not hard to top tbh

His best work and fan favorite so far is Unorthodox Jukebox, not 24K Magic.

It’s his most representative project.

But his discography is so short. There’s still so much for him to explore. His career has turned 14 years old and he has done so much but it feels, music wise, that he’s in the early years of his career. He only has 41 songs I think.

Unorthodox Jukebox was originally supposed to be way “darker”, as Bruno wanted to change completely his image coming from his first album, but it was changed later for a more “traditional" album. Gorilla was the first song he made and it set the tone for the project.

But it’s still a darker album, of course. Gorilla, Locked Out of Heaven, Money Make Her Smile, Natalie follow this tone. I believe Young Girls, If I Knew, Treasure, Show Me came after the change. Lyrics wise, only Treasure has “positive” lyrics. Everything else is either sexual or chauvinistic.

Would like to see him returning to some ideas from that album and expanding into new directions, since I hope we are now done with R&B, funk and the whole pimp thing. Would like more rock and reggae influences again, and definitely more personal and mature lyrics exploring different topics because both 24K and SS had the same themes.

2012-2014 😮‍💨 an era

The R&B albums are great and all, showing another side of him, but THIS is really Bruno Mars imo. His personal style, influences were all here. Pop, reggae, rock, doo-wop, balladry, the tropical imagery, etc.
