"Reprising his smooth-talking, crooning loverboy persona - who, he'd like you to know, still looks too damn good - Mars beckons us back to the dance floor for another time-traveling slice of soul-pop. "I Just Might" could have easily existed on any of Mars' three prior albums (from 2010, 2013, and 2016, respectively), making it slightly disappointing that the rollout of his first effort in nearly a decade is basically a retread of everything we've come to expect from him."
"You wouldn't know it from the song's music video, which depicts Mars as the various members of his backing band, but he and his fellow instrumentalists definitely understood the assignment on "I Just Might." Mars, his Smeezingtons writing partners, and his backing band are unified on the sonic vision, presenting a crisp revival of '70s soul and disco while also letting the instruments be as expressive as they need to be."
Bruno Mars released "I Just Might," the lead single from his upcoming album The Romantic. The song reprises his smooth-talking, crooning loverboy persona and leans into a time-traveling slice of soul-pop reminiscent of his earlier records. The music video depicts Mars as multiple members of his backing band, and the performers are unified on a crisp revival of '70s soul and disco. The production foregrounds expressive instrumentation and dueling guitars that chime and groove with distortion. The Romantic is scheduled for release February 27th, marking Mars' first album in nearly ten years and preceding a stadium tour beginning in Las Vegas in April.
