我的评价是：
听这张《The Romantic》前，如果放下对十年前横扫格莱美的《24K Magic》的封神滤镜，抛开近两年《APT.》《Die With A Smile》两首全球爆单垒起的超高预期，反而能完整接住这张专辑的全部魅力
这是一张完全刻着火星哥个人特色的复古作品：70-80 年代费城灵魂乐、经典放克与拉丁摇滚，全专 9 首曲目，每一段编曲、每一处乐器的编排都打磨得极为精致，人声与律动也非常般配且抓耳
唯一的遗憾是专辑体量偏短，部分曲目也少了些突破性的惊喜。但整体而言，这仍是一张完成度极高的诚意之作，是独属于火星哥的复古律动
Bruno Mars《The Romantic》：全9首歌曲排名
——from billboard
It’s been a long wait for Bruno Mars‘ new album The Romantic: five years since his An Evening With Silk Sonic team-up with Anderson .Paak and 10 years (!!) since his most recent solo album 24k Magic. But this Friday (Feb. 27), Bruno Mars is finally back, with a nine-track effort designed to wrap Valentine’s Month with a lush collection of love songs to make his ’70s and ’80s (mostly ’70s this time around) forebearers proud. (And just in case anyone was skeptical Bruno Mars could still do it in 2026 — yeah, right — the set arrives already with one minted Billboard Hot 100 smash in the No. 1-debuting “I Just Might.”)
乐迷们已为Bruno Mars的新专辑《The Romantic》等候许久：距离他与Anderson .Paak合作的《An Evening With Silk Sonic》已过去五年，距离他上一张个人专辑《24k Magic》更是整整十年（！！）。而本周五（2月27日），Bruno Mars终于携9首全新作品回归，这张满是浪漫情歌的专辑，为情人节月画上圆满句点，也足以让他敬仰的70、80年代（本次主打70年代）音乐前辈为之骄傲。（若还有人质疑Bruno Mars在2026年能否依旧火力全开——大可不必——这张专辑已凭借首发空降Billboard Hot 100榜首的《I Just Might》，提前锁定爆款。）
While past Bruno Mars albums have worked his influences into more obviously modern sonic trappings, or looked back on the lyrical tropes of bygone soul and pop artists back with a bit of a wink, The Romantic might be his most straightforward throwback yet — loving, full-throated tributes to Philly soul and quiet storm, with a bit of Latin rock thrown in as well. Some songs lift specific vibes from classics by beloved hitmakers like The O’Jays, Curtis Mayfield and Santana, while others just internalize lessons learned from those artists for Bruno Mars’ own submissions to their canon.
过往Bruno Mars的专辑，会将音乐灵感融入更鲜明的现代编曲质感，或是带着戏谑口吻致敬昔日灵魂乐、流行乐歌手的歌词套路，而《The Romantic》或许是他最直白的复古之作——饱含深情、全力致敬Philly soul与quiet storm曲风，还融入了些许Latin rock元素。部分曲目直接复刻了The O’Jays、Curtis Mayfield、Santana等传奇热门歌手经典作品的独特氛围，另一些则将这些前辈的创作精髓内化，化作Bruno Mars向经典乐坛致敬的全新创作。
Just nine new songs after five (or 10) years might not feel like a lot — eight, if you don’t count “I Just Might” — but Bruno Mars is intent on making them count. See how Billboard ranks the tracks from the flop-proof pop superstar’s sure-to-be hit new album below.
历经五年（乃至十年）等待，仅9首新歌或许不算多——若不算《I Just Might》，更是只有8首——但Bruno Mars力求每一首都掷地有声。以下是《公告牌》为这位从未失手的流行巨星的爆款新专所作的歌曲排名。
9 “Nothing Left”
A rare breakup song on The Romantic — or at least a “fire don’t burn the way it used to” song — “Nothing Left” is effective enough, but a little nondescript by Bruno Mars’ standards. The lyric is calling out either for a much more stripped-down arrangement or for totally blown-out power ballad bombast, but it gets caught a little in the middle on this penultimate album track.
《Nothing Left》是《The Romantic》中少见的分手曲——至少是一首诉说“爱意之火不复往昔炽热”的作品——歌曲完成度尚可，但以Bruno Mars的水准而言，略显平淡无奇。歌词的质感本适配极简编曲，或是极致磅礴的强力抒情曲编排，可这首专辑倒数第二首歌，却卡在了两者之间，略显尴尬。
8 “God Was Showing Off”
Some good lines — “Is ‘Heaven’ your name/ Or is it ‘Divine’?/ Don’t matter, girl, it’s gonna look good next to mine” is probably best of the bunch — and a two-chord groove reminiscent of a dreamier “Soulful Strut” is never a bad idea. But “God Was Showing Off” could’ve probably used a little more funk to sell its cheesier lyrical absurdities — and it also could’ve stood to stretch some of those a little farther in the first place — rather than committing to a completely straight-faced sweet soul arrangement.
《God Was Showing Off》中不乏佳句——“Is ‘Heaven’ your name/ Or is it ‘Divine’?/ Don’t matter, girl, it’s gonna look good next to mine”（“天堂”是你的名字，还是“圣洁”？都无妨，配我的名字刚刚好）堪称最佳；双和弦律动让人联想到更梦幻的《Soulful Strut》，本是绝佳创意。但这首歌本可再多加入些许放克元素，撑起歌词里略带俗套的趣味感，也本可将这些趣味点放大，而非全程采用一本正经的甜系灵魂乐编曲。
7 “Why You Wanna Fight”
A bit “Leave the Door Open” redux musically — right down to the xylophone that traces the string melody, like that Silk Sonic single deployed so expertly. But the guitar work helps give this one a bit more of its own distinctive character, fuzzy and piercing in the intro, and then moaning like Rose Royce’s “I’m Going Down” on the verses.
《Why You Wanna Fight》编曲上颇有《Leave the Door Open》复刻之感——就连勾勒弦乐旋律的木琴，都和Silk Sonic这首单曲的精妙编排如出一辙。但吉他演奏为这首歌赋予了独特辨识度，前奏的吉他音色朦胧又锐利，主歌部分则如Rose Royce的《I’m Going Down》一般，带着低沉的呜咽感。
6 “Dance With Me”
The Romantic‘s closer ends things on a pleasant note, eschewing the ’70s soul signifiers of most of the album and flashing back much further to Bruno Mars’ original Doo-Wops influences with its sweet harmonies, lilting strings and straightforwardly urgent lyrics. It’s nothing revelatory, but it’s a successful vocal showcase, and should leave listeners with the right feeling — both at the end of the album, and perhaps at the end of live dates on his upcoming stadium tour.
《Dance With Me》作为《The Romantic》的收尾曲，以舒心的氛围为专辑画上句点，摒弃了专辑多数曲目标志性的70年代灵魂乐元素，转而用甜美的和声、轻快的弦乐与直白急切的歌词，回溯Bruno Mars早期深受Doo-Wops影响的创作风格。这首歌虽无惊艳之处，却是绝佳的唱功展示曲，无论在专辑结尾，还是未来体育场巡演的收官现场，都能带给听众恰到好处的听觉感受。
5 “Risk It All”
The opener to The Romantic starts off with near-mariachi trumpet and balladic strings, with Bruno Mars almost sounding like Marc Anthony as he croons over lightly brushed drums and gently plucked acoustics: “I would run through a fire/ Just to be by your side.” It’s Bruno Mars’ most tender love song yet — also his most dramatic opener since Unorthodox Jukebox‘s “Young Girls” — and you could definitely see it becoming a couples-cam live highlight.
《Risk It All》是《The Romantic》的开篇曲，以近似马里亚奇的小号与抒情弦乐开场，Bruno Mars伴着轻刷的鼓点与轻柔的原声吉他低吟：“I would run through a fire/ Just to be by your side”（我愿奔赴火海，只为伴你左右），声线神似Marc Anthony。这是Bruno Mars至今最温柔的情歌，也是自《Unorthodox Jukebox》的《Young Girls》后最具戏剧张力的专辑开篇，势必会成为现场情侣镜头的高光时刻。
4 “On My Soul”
Can Bruno Mars interest you in his spin on Curtis Mayfield’s “Move on Up”? Of course he can: Few, if any soul-pop songs in history have had superior vibes, and Bruno Mars is expert tributist enough that he nails the details — the racing drums and backing bongos, the tension-building guitars and righteous horns — without being so heavy-handed with it that you feel like you’re listening to a not-so-thinly-disguised cover. And the breakdown section, where he and his band trade wordless exhortations, take things to the next level just when you hope they would.
Bruno Mars改编Curtis Mayfield的《Move on Up》，谁能拒绝？历史上极少有灵魂流行乐能拥有这般绝佳氛围，而Bruno Mars作为资深致敬者，精准拿捏了所有细节——急促的鼓点、伴奏邦戈鼓、营造张力的吉他与正气凛然的铜管乐，却又不过度复刻，不会让人觉得这是一首直白的翻唱曲。间奏部分，他与乐队用无词呐喊相互呼应，恰在期待之处将歌曲氛围推向高潮。
3 “Something Serious”
Mixing together a blend of slithering grooves from a pair of ’70s Latin rock classics — War’s “Low Rider” and Santana’s cover of Tito Puente’s“Oye Como Va” — Bruno Mars hits on a new strain of throwback for him on “Something Serious,” and a particularly smart and fun one. He sounds like he’s having an absolute blast belting “You should be my boo thing/ I should be your mans!” over the cowbell and clipped horns. Live, you could definitely see them stretching the breakdown section out to several minutes and multiple solos, whipping the crowd into a frenzy in the process.
Bruno Mars将两首70年代拉丁摇滚经典——War的《Low Rider》与Santana翻唱自Tito Puente的《Oye Como Va》——的丝滑律动融合，在《Something Serious》中解锁了全新复古风格，创意十足又趣味满满。伴着牛铃与利落的铜管乐，他高歌“You should be my boo thing/ I should be your mans!”（你该做我的爱人，我该做你的依靠！），全然沉浸在创作的快乐中。现场演出时，这首歌的间奏势必会被拉长至数分钟，加入多段独奏，彻底点燃全场观众的热情。
2 “I Just Might”
While Bruno Mars’ return solo single might’ve underwhelmed some hoping for a brand new direction for the pop superstar, a month or so on we can all properly acknowledge that what “I Just Might” lacks in surprises, it more than makes up for in satisfaction. Coming as the third track on The Romantic, it sounds like the album really hitting its stride — and just from the intro, you feel like you’ve been dancing to its guitar chops and sashaying hi-hats at weddings already for your entire life.
部分期待这位流行巨星开辟全新风格的听众，或许曾对Bruno Mars这首回归单曲《I Just Might》略感失望，但时隔一个多月，我们都该坦然承认：这首歌虽少了惊喜感，却用十足的悦耳度弥补了这一缺憾。作为《The Romantic》的第三首歌，它标志着专辑正式进入最佳状态——仅前奏响起，就仿佛这一生都在婚礼上，伴着它的吉他节奏与轻快踩镲翩翩起舞。
1 “Cha Cha Cha”
“Got my lemon pepper steppers on, ooh girl, you’re in trouble tonight,” Bruno Mars and his Hooligans backing band warn over tapping drums and sweetly uneasy strings on “Cha Cha Cha.” The musical reference point here is clearly the lushly ominous Philly soul of The O’Jays’ “Back Stabbers” — right down to the dramatic pause and full-band grunt that leads into the chorus — but of course the vibe here isn’t nearly as paranoid as that classic of soul skepticism, instead using a well-plotted Juvenile lift to capture sweaty dancefloor rapture, before the groove takes flight into pure disco ecstasy in the final minute. Nobody can thread all of this together quite like Bruno Mars.
在清脆的鼓点与甜润却暗藏不安的弦乐中，Bruno Mars与他的“Hooligans”伴唱乐队发出警告：“Got my lemon pepper steppers on, ooh girl, you’re in trouble tonight”（穿上我的柠檬胡椒味运动鞋，哦女孩，今夜你在劫难逃）。这首歌的音乐灵感显然源自The O’Jays《Back Stabbers》那般华丽又阴郁的费城灵魂乐——就连引入副歌前的戏剧性停顿与乐队齐吼都高度还原——但氛围远没有这首灵魂乐怀疑论经典那般偏执，反而巧妙借鉴了Juvenile的曲风，捕捉舞池里燥热的狂喜，最后一分钟旋律彻底升华，坠入迪斯科的极致狂欢。无人能像Bruno Mars这般，将这些元素完美融合。
