Bruno Mars Goes Full 70s Nostalgia on The Romantic

Bruno Mars’ solo album The Romantic leans hard into Silk Sonic’s 1970s revival, delivering nine tracks of meticulously crafted retro-soul ballads and Latin touches that feel like a time‑capsule trip to 1976. While the project showcases Mars’s vocal craft and a tight team around him, the Variety reviewer argues it’s more a well-executed mood piece than a source of groundbreaking songs or personal storytelling, essentially continuing the pastiche rather than breaking new ground.

Bruno Mars's The Romantic Dials Up Nostalgia, But Lets Freshness Slip Away

Bruno Mars's The Romantic leans heavily on retro soul and 70s/60s references, with several tracks clearly echoing classic hits (notably the lead single’s resemblance to Leo Sayer), delivering polished but mostly familiar pop rather than a bold comeback. The strongest moments mimic old-school grooves, while other songs sound like homage rather than invention, resulting in pleasant listening but perceived lazy songwriting overall.
