Mars reaches new heights with 24K Magic

Allison Stinelli, Staff Writer

24K Magic, the third studio album released by Bruno Mars, is the best of the three albums, with many new sounds and beats.

Featuring similar sounds from multiple decades of music, the album shows Mars’ maturity and growth so far.

The album’s title song, “24K Magic,” is an upbeat song, perfect for high school dances.

“That’s What I Like” is another catchy song from the album, with mature lyrics and nostalgic ‘70s vibes.

While each song possesses its own unique sound, the overly-edited beats seems to drown out Mars’ voice. “Finesse” is one song where this happens. It has juvenile lyrics and awkward music to pair with it.

Overall, Mars’ new album modernizes nostalgic beats and sounds to produce one of the better albums of this past year.
