Album Review: "The Romantic" by Bruno Mars

 "The Romantic" by Bruno Mars album cover
Can we be honest? The male pop star has been under attack since the early 2010s and they have been losing that battle for some time. What do I mean? I can name off the top of my head numerous female pop stars that can sing, dance, perform, write, produce and deliver quality music. However, in the case of the men, the names could be named on one hand. One of those names that would be listed on that one hand is Bruno Mars. He has been basically carrying male pop on his back for over a decade. He has vocals for days, is a competent dancer, delivers hits and puts on a damn good show. There is not much male pop acts who we can say that about unless they are legacy acts. However, it has been almost been a decade since he has released a solo studio album, his last being the commercially successful and critically acclaimed "24K Magic" in 2016. However, Bruno did not completely drop off the face of the Earth. In between, he released a collaboration album with Anderson Paak and released collaborations with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Cardi B, Sexyy Red, Rosé, Gucci Mane and Lady Gaga just to name a few. Yet, in 2026 he decided it was time for him to give the audience a solo studio album which he titled "The Romantic" which was supported by the release of two singles "I Just Might" on January 9, 2026, and "Risk It All" on February 27, 2026.
