Released by Atlantic Records, the nine-track album was built around a polished, danceable sound heavily influenced by 1980s and early-1990s R\u0026amp;B, while retaining Mars' contemporary pop songwriting and flamboyant vocal style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe 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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe title track, “24K Magic”, opens the album with its instantly recognisable funk and R\u0026amp;B groove, setting the tone for the record's luxurious, party-focused aesthetic. “Chunky” and “Perm” continue the old-school R\u0026amp;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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe result is a concise 33-minute album that deliberately avoids filler, moving between upbeat funk, contemporary R\u0026amp;B and smooth slow-jam territory. With its combination of retro influences and modern production, \u003cem\u003e24K Magic\u003c\/em\u003e became a major part of Bruno Mars' catalogue and an especially useful release for fans of R\u0026amp;B, funk, soul-pop, new jack swing and 1980s\/1990s-inspired production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-spread=\"false\" start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24K Magic – 3:46\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChunky – 3:06\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerm – 3:30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat's What I Like – 3:26\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVersace On The Floor – 4:21\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStraight Up \u0026amp; Down – 3:18\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalling All My Lovelies – 4:10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinesse – 3:10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToo Good To Say Goodbye – 4:41\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UqyT8IEBkvY?si=TMW_9S0w_NHbh-It\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55526730236246,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_86ef8b26-22bf-4988-9b87-b5d2b0279226.jpg?v=1790673582","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/bruno-mars-xxivk-magic","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
