Mario New Album, "Go," In Stores July 31st
Mario - How Do I Breathe
Mario’s Myspace
At the age of 15, Mario debuted with the release of “Just a Friend 2002,” produced by Warryn Campbell and based on rapper Biz Markie’s hit “Just a Friend.” His self-titled album followed in July, featuring contributions by Grammy-winning Alicia Keys. Mario’s performances improved with 2004’s ‘Turning Point’ with the hit single “Let Me Love You”.
He has come full circle with his third LP ……
More Info Below
Multi-platinum R&B sensation MARIO returns with his highly anticipated third album, GO (J Records), in stores July 31. The first single, “How Do I Breathe,” produced by Stargate, is a lovesick anthem full of the signature crooning that has earned Mario the reputation as one of the best voices of a generation. The emotional ballad will impact radio on April 30.
The follow-up to 2004’s double platinum Turning Point, Go features Mario’s silky smooth vocals and showcases a more mature Mario, talking in equal breaths about romance, love, and even sex. While past hits have seen a young Mario skirting the issue in his chart toppers, the 20-year-old Mario tackles it head on in the sexually charged banger “Go” and the sensual “Lay In My Bed.” Also on his mind are relationship challenges, asking why his girl can’t let their relationship be what it is on “No Definition” and confessing to a roving eye on “Kryptonite.” Mario is truly holding nothing back.
“Over the years in this industry, I feel like I’ve grown to a point where I’m comfortable in my own skin, and this album truly reflects that,” says Mario. “Go is sexier and more passionate, but there’s another, more personal side to the record as well.”
In fact, Mario’s new-found comfort extends to personal topics he’s never before touched on, including his difficult upbringing. On “Do Right,” Mario sings of his early years growing up with a drug-addicted mother and fighting for a better life. The confessional ballad was in part inspired by his star turn in the recent film “Freedom Writers” as Andre, a teen struggling to rise about life with an incarcerated brother and an addict mother. The DVD will be out April 17 and with Mario appearing on The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson on April 25 to promote the DVD.
While his character Andre finds an outlet for his frustrations in writing, music is what inspired Mario, who became a star at the young age of 15 when he released his debut album, 2002’s Mario, which spawned the Top 10 single “Just a Friend 2002.” His follow up album, 2004’s Turning Point, featured the megahit “Let Me Love You,” which skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for five weeks, propelling Turning Point to double-platinum status and earning Mario two Grammy nominations and two Billboard Award wins.

Kryptonite, Crying For Me, and Go are all so crazy. I can see him having 4-5 singles off this joint if sells are right.
I’m not worried about Kellz album, but Usher better come with it.

I just had to post for my man Mario who is so hot and sexy and genuine, I just wanna eat him up, when I look at his pictures, I wanna bite him!! I had the pleasure of meeting Mario last Thursday night at the KDay radio event and I hope they do that again because I got to go on the stage where Mario was signing and everything! I couldnt believe how nice and personable he was. He’s grounded and relaxed. I know this album he’s putting out is going to be Major!! I’ve heard his song How Do I Breathe on the L.A. stations and that is always a good feeling each time.
Big Props to Mario and Much Success and Love to Mario!!
