Bruno Mars says his next solo album is finished, nearly 10 years after his last full solo record.

The Grammy winner announced the news on X on Monday, January 5, writing simply, "My album is done."

My album is done.

The update closes a long wait for a new solo Bruno project.

His most recent solo album, 24K Magic, was released in November 2016 and earned multiple hits and awards.

Fans and music outlets noted the gap between that release and this new announcement.

Bruno Mars has remained active in music even while not releasing solo albums.

He returned to the spotlight with the Silk Sonic collaboration with Anderson .Paak and continued to record high-profile duets and singles that kept him on the charts and award stages.

Reaction online mixed excitement with jokes. Some fans quipped that a new album might help erase long-running gambling debt rumours tied to Mars’s Las Vegas residency, a story MGM later disputed.

Bruno Mars himself has previously joked about the speculation on social media.

There are no further details yet, as Mars has not shared a release date, track list or tour information, so fans are left waiting for more announcements.
