Grammy-nominated RnB musician Mario has relased his sixth album. Entitled 'Glad You Came', the record will not be his last, he insists.
“I feel like there's a lot more that I have to say in music, and I feel like my talent and what God, the position God wants me to be in, is, you know, being one of, you know, the leading R&B artists that has been around for 20 years and still having my foot in the game,'' he says.
Mario drew upon a range of inspirations for the album, meaning that it may appeal to a wide audience, in his opinion.
“It's just all, I guess, inspirations of mine, you know, from Michael (Jackson) to Marvin (Gaye) to some of the Afrobeat vibes that I've been listening to that I liked towards the end of the album. So, it's a little bit for everybody on there,'' the 38 year old explains.
Along with releasing his new album, Mario has featured in and produced 'Style Me For Christmas', a holiday-themed movie.
If that wasn't enough, Mario also recently clinched second place in the masked singer.
