His first [solo] album since the Obama administration...

FEBRUARY 2023

Bruno Mars' longtime collaborator Brody Brown:

Bruno’s actually working on his new album, and two weeks ago I was in the studio with him. And it was like we never left. Everytime we get together it’s like that, since we’ve been working together for 12 or 13 years. He called me over and was like, “Man, I’m working on my fourth album. Let’s get it. Let’s hurry up and go.” And so I have been doing that.

The Sun (lol) reports:

BRUNO Mars is finally gearing up towards his big solo comeback. I’ve learned the US star is close to completing work on a new album, which will be his first individual project since 2016’s 24K Magic. Bruno has been in the studio laying down tracks for several months and is planning his most ambitious tour to show off his new tunes to the world next year. A music insider said: “Bruno has taken some time away to develop a new look and sound following the success of his last few projects. “He is close to completing the new record and is in early talks with Live Nation to map out a deal which will see him tour the album next year and into 2025. “Bruno wants it to include the biggest concerts he has ever done and is keen to mount a large-scale multi-dimensional live show.” [...]

James Fauntleroy for BET:

As the year changes to 2024, expect more music from Fauntleroy. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t continued lending his pen game to other artists. Beyond saying he’s working with two superstars, one of them is Bruno Mars. [...] “I could have a whole nother f***ing hour talking about how much I learned working with Bruno Mars,” he explained. “This mf is a genius.”
