Bruno Mars hasn’t “disappeared” completely, but he has shifted his focus compared to his previous solo career. Here’s a breakdown of what’s been happening:
Solo work:
- While there haven’t been any recent solo albums from Bruno Mars, he remained active in the music industry.
- In 2021, he requested the Grammys to let him perform with his new project, indicating he wasn’t taking a complete break.
Silk Sonic:
- He formed a band called Silk Sonic with rapper Anderson .Paak in 2021.
- Their debut album, “An Evening with Silk Sonic,” achieved critical and commercial success in 2021, reaching number two on the Billboard 200 chart.
- The album earned them four Grammy awards in 2022, including “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year.”
- Interestingly, in 2022, Silk Sonic chose not to submit their album for Grammy consideration despite their previous success. The reason for this decision remains unclear.
Other activities:
- He briefly appeared in the film “Honeymoon in Vegas” alongside Nicholas Cage and Sarah Jessica Parker in 2022.
Overall:
- Bruno Mars isn’t gone from the music scene; he’s just focusing on his work with Silk Sonic for now.
