The first single is titled "The Walls" and features Fabolous. They haven't decided yet whether they're going to release the album in the late fall or wait until next year. He said it will either be out in November or January.

I liked the "Motto" remix - but didn't like Really Love You. I don't know about him. For whatever reason, he hasn't been marketed in the correct way - and hasn't quite got all of his potential.

I wonder when his mixtape is set to come out? He has SO many unreleased/non-album tracks throughout the years!

I think this guy can actually make a comeback. A long as he stick to his R&B roots. So far from his video blogs and leaks it seems his mixtape is going to be rnbish. Mario really have some good rnb songs "this is how love feels" is a master piece "go first (perfect gentleman)" "Bed love" and "Make you forget" are all good rnb songs. He also have some fun upbeat rnb songs like "Too sexy" and "Bermuda". I hope this time around his marketing team is a little better because that has always been a problem for him. He seems really focused on his music and fans right now instead of other garbage. I also hope he use sex more too sell or get noticed because his body is banging (from recent instagram photos). He already shot a video for "ladies first(perfect gentleman)" and I seen some photos from the shoot it looks like it gone be sexy. I rather him do the sex thing instead of the thug rnb he tried to do last time with break up. I hope he really brings it this time around from an R&B stand point.

^ I hope he can make a comeback. With Chris and Usher dabbling too much in electro/dance music thier R&B has suffered imo. Also, Trey has yet to properly impress me on his new stuff. Mario has an amazing voice too! He usually delivers with the music, but sales for some reason have massively declined. I guess that has to be down to the label/management. How can "Music For Love" not smash after the promotion of being on Dancing With The Stars and coming of the hit "Crying Out For Me"?
I wouldn't say he's tried to be "thug R&B" (with Break-Up). Also, he did have "Ooh Baby", I dont know if you saw the video? I would say he makes the right balance of a variety of R&B.
I R.E.A.L.L.Y loveeee "Go First (Perfect Gentleman)"! How do you know he shot a video for it? Where did you see the pics? Is it gonna be a single from the mixtape or album?
If it is gonna be a single... oh mann!!! I hope more people hear this and realise how good Mario is. I hope it can be a hit.

The only album of Mario's I own is DNA and I love that album so not quite sure I need a departure from that. I feel like he is going to struggle no matter what, with the other guys dominating the scene.

He tweeted and released some pics from the "ladies First (perfect gentlemen)" video shoot a few months ago. So I'm guessing that might be a single release from his mix tape. I think releasing "ladies First" is smart it's solid r&b. I would agree r&b has decline with Usher and Chris dabbling in to pop a lot even though they do have some urban hits out. But I listen to both their albums and it's not full r&b. Trey keep releasing the same sounding songs with no breaks. I feel now is the time for Mario to make a comeback. His last album was all over the place as far as releases and what direction they wanted him to go with it. Yes I seen the "Ooh Baby" video, love the song and video. I wish he would've released that after "break up" instead of the popish "Thinking about you". He needs to go in one direction with his style and music and stick to it. Right now all his pop credit is gone. To me it been left after "Just A friend" and "Let me love you". If he stick directly to urban radio I have no doubt he'll be able to comeback. He's younger(25-26) then some of his peers and around the same age as some. He just needs to be consistent with his music and promotions.

Really? I'm always checking his twitter, I must have missed it.
Yeah, I think that "Just A Friend" and "Let Me Love You" are quite old now, I think he's lost alot of Pop cred. I agree, I think he shoud really cut the more R&B/Pop stuff, if that means he can stake his claim for the main R&B male spot.
It's almost unbelievable to think he's been around so long and is still only 25! He's still got a few more years before worrying about getting to 30 and he's younger than alot of people who have come out after him (e.g. Trey).
I think his music has generally been quite consistant, I just think he needs to be promoted better, with the right label/management backing him. It's crazy to think that the behind the scenes stuff (aside from the actual music) makes such a big differnce to an artists success.
I would love it if people like Mario and J. Holiday can make big comebacks this year.

No word on a new album (or that mixtape he announced 1-2 years ago), but new music has been leaking:
Also, he released a single last year called "Killa":

www.thisisrnb.com/2013/07/mario-interview-on-power-105s-the-breakfast-club/Mario confirmed that he shelved Restoration which was mainly done with Rico Love, and that he might put out the Truth Be Told mixtape for his fans at some point in the future, but none of the songs on either will make the upcoming album (I doubt he will). The interview where he said that is here (@ 22:45 & 28:40): www.ustream.tv/recorded/35628559I'm kinda sad that some of those songs like "Go First (Perfect Gentleman)" will not be on the album, that was an amazing song, people need to hear it! Anyway I'm loving "Somebody Else" and I hope the next single "Fatal Distraction" feat. J. Cole will be just as good if not better.

I've heard the new song a few times but I aint really feelin it. :( He's had tracks better than this leak over the last few years.
Anyway, I'm confident the album will be good and Somebody Else is still one of my current jams!

This is a song that leaked, but Mario has mentioned on twitter that he'll shoot a video for it so I guess it's going to be on the album.
L.S.D.
This is hot and much better than Fatal Distraction!

He should consider releasing an EP before the full length album. From the singles he's released since DNA, he has enough! 1. My Bed 2. The Walls (featuring Fabolous) 3. Somebody Else (featuring Nicki Minaj) 4. Fatal Distraction 5. Beautiful (with Alex Gaudino) 6. LSD

I'm not sure what's going on with this, it looks like this is going to be on hold until he finds a hit seeing as neither "Somebody Else" or "Fatal Distraction" made it near the top of R&B or Urban charts.
I think I saw an interview recently where he mentioned he was still planning on releasing a video for "L.S.D.". Hopefully it gets released soon and becomes a hit so we can get this album.
