MARIO BRINGS YOU “GO!”
Friday, October 12, 2007


J. Records recording artist Mario is back with his third studio album, Go! and it’s been a long time coming. Even though fans have waited for the album to drop since material started leaking, Mario has managed to give us a solid album this time around, collaborating with several different heavy-weight producers and songwriters. Go! delivers collaborations with The Neptunes (on the album’s title track), Timbaland, The Clutch, Mad Scientist and Polow Da Don (on the second single “Crying Out For Me”), just to name a few. Seems like this project’s budget was pretty endless with all the credits that I’ve seen.
Go! boasts a lot of good songs and shows Mario’s vocal maturation. Stand out tracks from the album include the infectious “Skippin’,” “Why,” the Timbaland-produced, Clutch-pinned “No Definition” and the album’s respective singles. Although “Let Me Love You” was a huge song, I was disappointed with Mario’s second effort, Turning Point, so I’m really glad that I’m digging Mario this time around. Be sure to look out for him on tour with Kelly Rowland as Angel reported earlier this week.
Check out some more of these Mario tracks…
♫ Mario - Skippin’ (full) - listen
♫ Mario - How Do I Breathe (full) - listen
Go pick up your copy of Mario’s Go! on November 27! Also, be sure to hit him up on MySpace and check out his official site, mario2u.com for more information about his tour dates with Kelly Rowland!

actually mario seems a bit into himself lately so i don’t know if i care for him too much,and i couldnt stand “how do i breath” it was too pop for me,but “crying out for me” now that one can start a heart beat,i love that song,especially the note at the end lol.

I don’t know. He might be doomed since the album has been floating around for a minute and tracks leaked like a year ago. That’s rough. But Mario is hit and miss with me. One song he releases will be at the top of my playlist and then he’ll release something I don’t even want for free. His voice is a lot different this time around and I’m not sure if I like it better or worse. I will definitely check out the album when it drops though since I had to pass on the last few (Trey Songs, Bobby V, Kells) R&B albums except for J Holiday so my catalog is getting a little light and in need for new tracks.

Mario’s new cd is KNOCK! I’m going to go ahead and say this will probably be the best R&B album of the year! . . (The Evolution of Robin Thicke is an exception though!) Skippin and Music For Love are dope. I can’t wait to see him and Kelly in concert!
Oh and he is also having an MTV special airing on OCT 20 at 1PM. I’m a huge Mario fan so i’ll be watching it. From the looks of the trailer, the show is basically about him trying to get his mom off drugs…Pretty emotional. You can view the trailer on his youtube acct or website.

not tryna range rove truck ya,diamond cut ya,aint really tryna meet yo mother,just wanna fuck you like no other..wow,he really has changed his style up..
im lovin mario these days.i throw him in the most UNDERrated pile with Trey Songz,Sammie,Brandon Hines,and Tank…i think his album will be somethin worth the wait but with everybody having so many of his tracks,he may need to go back in the studio.

Mario is a great talent. I remember taking my daughter to a Scream Tour and Mario was one of only singing acts to actually sing during his entire set (the other acts really didn’t sing). He gave a respectable performance while b2k and marquess Houston simulated sex on stage for girls between the age group of (6 - 15).
But, at the same time Mario’s performance was so moving, he could have definitely toured with an older group!
I will definitely buy his CD!

I Love Mario so much and I think people really underestimate his ability to really kill a track vocally and live as well.
Alot of people say they didn’t like Turning Point but I absolutely LOVED that album and still listen to it. My favorite track is “Like Me Real Hard”.
Just fabulous!

I actually heard all the tracks a couple dayz ago. And having heard most of the recent guy RnB Albums out there, ie. Trey Songz, J. Holiday, Jagged Edge, etc. that Marios’ “GO” is by far the best. By production alone is album is Way hotter, plus he got at least 4 or 5 songz which are single worthy on there.
The Brotha is doing his thing. Who else got all them producers on their album and his vocals are going places on this album.
I’m gonna cop it for sure Nov. 27th. It’s fiyahh. I’m trying to tell ya.
