R&B Star Mario kurejea katika Game

 
R&B singer Mario is back and better than ever: wiser, stronger and resilient. From his 2002 breakout hit “Just a Friend” to the ultra smooth award winning track “Let Me Love You” (2004) to 2013 banger “Somebody Else” featuring Nicki Minaj, Mario isn’t the teenager we were first introduced to.
We’ve witnessed the 29-year-old grow into a mature artist and entrepreneur, making and breaking his own rules, right before our eyes. Through fame’s unforgiving lessons to disappointing label matters, Mario, born Mario Barrett, held his own, exemplifying what grace under pressure really looks like.
Fresh off releasing his first single, “I Need More,” a hype and new sound from the crooner, Mario readies his fifth studio album Paradise Cove, which he admits has a “darker undertone.”
Fine tuned and seasoned, the genre of R&B is set for a revolutionized sound, and Mario will help lead the charge. The Source caught up with Mario as he talked his new single, the hardest lessons he’s had to learn and more.

Tell us more about your new single, “I Need More.”

It’s a warm up record for sure. A record for me that’s more than just turning up, that no matter how much money you make, no matter how many material possessions you acquire, it’s never enough, you’ll always need more than just that to fulfill you.
 Your new album, Paradise Cove, will be your first since D.N.A. back in 2009.

Paradise Cove will be released toward the end of the year. I want to put out another single to let me fans know what they’ll be getting and that I’m consistent and giving them what they want from Mario; a project more personal and more relatable that they can ride to and really enjoy.
