The Hawaiian born singer-songwriter Bruno Mars is set to release his eagerly anticipated third studio album later on this year.

Mars’ past two albums have both been critically well regarded. Both albums were released within relatively quick succession of each other; with his first debut album ‘Doo-Wops & Hooligans’ having been released in 2010 and his second in 2012 ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’. Fans of Mars will no doubt be thinking that it’s about time for his latest album!

Bruno’s dad when speaking to Press Reader released details on his upcoming album:

“It was due in March, but by doing the Super Bowl, it threw him back several months,”​ Bruno’s dad Pete Hernandez spoke

​”Bruno has seven great new songs – I’ve heard ‘em – but the album should now be released in September or October, to qualify for next year’s Grammy Awards.”​

It’s not just through his own music that Bruno Mars has enjoyed such widespread success; Mars has also written a great deal of hit songs for other artists, collaborating with the likes of Adele, Mark Ronson, Adam Levine, Flo Rida, Cee Lo Green and many, many more.

Mars first burst onto the scene featuring his vocals with Travie McCoy on the hit song ‘Billionaire’ in 2010, since then Mars has enjoyed phenomenal success being one of the best selling artists of all time with over 100 million sales combined on his singles and albums. One can understand why Mars has taken time to release his third album, with such past successes he’ll be very keen to continue his established reputation as one of the greatest and best out there in the music industry.
