Bruno Mars – XXIVK Magic
Released in November 2016, 24K Magic is the third studio album from “Bruno Mars”, arriving four years after Unorthodox Jukebox and marking a confident return with a tightly focused blend of R&B, funk, pop and new jack swing. Released by Atlantic Records, the nine-track album was built around a polished, danceable sound heavily influenced by 1980s and early-1990s R&B, while retaining Mars' contemporary pop songwriting and flamboyant vocal style.
The album was recorded between 2015 and 2016 at Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank, California, with Mars working closely with Philip Lawrence and Christopher Brody Brown under the production name Shampoo Press & Curl. The Stereotypes also played a significant role, particularly on “24K Magic”, “That's What I Like” and “Finesse”. The production combines programmed rhythms, live drums, keyboards, bass, guitar and prominent vocal arrangements to create the album's sleek retro-modern sound.
The title track, “24K Magic”, opens the album with its instantly recognisable funk and R&B groove, setting the tone for the record's luxurious, party-focused aesthetic. “Chunky” and “Perm” continue the old-school R&B influence, while “That's What I Like” became one of Mars' signature hits. “Versace On The Floor” shifts into a slower, romantic late-night groove, while “Finesse” draws particularly strongly on the rhythmic vocabulary of new jack swing.
The result is a concise 33-minute album that deliberately avoids filler, moving between upbeat funk, contemporary R&B and smooth slow-jam territory. With its combination of retro influences and modern production, 24K Magic became a major part of Bruno Mars' catalogue and an especially useful release for fans of R&B, funk, soul-pop, new jack swing and 1980s/1990s-inspired production.
