More Info
24K Magic (stylized as XXIVK Magic) is the third studio album by American singer Bruno Mars. It was released worldwide on November 18, 2016, by Atlantic Records. Recording sessions for 24K Magic took place between fall 2015 and September 2016 at Glenwood Place Studios in Burbank, California. The production of the album was handled by newly formed production trio Shampoo Press & Curl, consisting of Mars, Brody Brown and Philip Lawrence.
The follow-up to Mars's successful second album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012), 24K Magic explores genres similar to those of its predecessor, such as soul and funk, while Mars and his team focused on capturing the R&B sound that was very popular in the 1990s, described by Mars as the reason he fell in love with music in the first place, taking inspiration from acts such as Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, New Edition, Bobby Brown, Jodeci, Boyz II Men, Teddy Riley, Mariah Carey and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. Mars also stated that although he was able to convince Atlantic Records of the album's sound, they were initially hesitant.
