MUMBAI: Multiple Grammy award-winning musician Bruno Mars has officially released his eagerly anticipated new album, 24K Magic (pronounced twenty-four karat magic). The nine-track collection written and produced by Bruno Mars (Shampoo Press and Curl) is available now in stores and at all DSPs and streaming services.
The album features a surprise guest appearance by Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry on the sultry track, ‘Calling All My Lovelies.’ The already critically-acclaimed collection also features co-writing assists from multiple Grammy Award-winning icon Babyface on the closing ballad ‘Too Good To Say Goodbye,’ and producer/heavyweight T-Pain on the jam ‘Straight Up & Down.’
Earlier this week, Mars revealed details behind his massive upcoming global headline tour – The 24K Magic World Tour (pronounced twenty-four karat magic tour), which will kick off in Belgium on March 28th and will continue thru Europe and North America, culminating with a four-night stand at The Forum in Los Angeles. The 24K Magic World Tour marks Mars’ first full-length tour since his hugely successful Moonshine Jungle World Tour, an international blockbuster that sold 2 million tickets worldwide across 155 sold-out dates.
