Mario's much-anticipated third album, Go, is set to hit stores on August 21, 2007.

Carefully weaving the fabric of his life over delicately orchestrated rhythms, Go utilizes its hip-hop influences, throwback soul sensibilities and lyrical honesty to demonstrate just what’s been on Mario’s mind. From changing management to relocating back to his hometown of B’More, to exploring his sensuality and sexuality, Mario is prepared to unveil the sides of himself that have been hidden since his debut.

One revealing song is the Pharrell written and The Neptunes produced album title track, “Go.” As the scenario suggests, it explains different situations about spending time with a girl and while some guys feed women lines to get with them, at the end of the night it’s time to “go.” For Mario, it’s a lyrical fantasy all in good fun. “It’s not disrespectful, it’s honest. They’re going to tell you the sky is green, I’m going tell you it’s blue.”

“How Do I Breathe,” is the melodic mid-tempo first single produced by Stargate, that simply granted Mario permission to “let down my guard to let my fans know I’m human. A lot of fellas can relate to the lyrics expressed in this song but they don’t always say it.” The same sentiment is true and expressed when Timbaland blends finger snaps, drum patterns, synthesizers and an airy piano on “No Definition.” As ambiguous as the song title suggests, Mario would prefer to allow his actions to speak louder than words, as he will treat his woman like she deserves, however there is no title to this thing they have together.

With “Kryptonite,” Mario wears his heart on his sleeve as he empathetically talks to his woman from a far. Serving as a co-writer on the harmonic track produced by Oak, Mario dares to express what most men quietly feel, as he reveals that he wants to be the Superman to his Lois Lane but his “kryptonite” are the other girls that constantly tempt him.

Mario treads on the sensual track with “Let Me Watch,” co-written by Sean Garrett and Michael Croom, co-produced by Mr. Collipark and Garrett. A more personal tale for the bedroom and the clubs, this song “allows a woman to explore her sexuality in a very comfortable state and be ok with it” explains the expressive crooner.

Producers T-Wayne & Stee are behind the boards as they take it back about two decades for the Keith Sweat remake “Right and a Wrong Way.” As Mario recollects vibing before they finally decided to re-record the track, “it’s me wanting to introduce something different to my fans and re-introduce a classic song to their parents or older siblings, etc.” For Mario, the song means something different now as he looks to bring substantive music to the attention of the masses again. Admitting, “being a young man that’s willing to be submissive that’s what that song means. I understand that there is a right and a wrong way to do things and I’m willing if you’re willing.”

Singer, songwriter, producer Akon contributed the emotional “Do Right” in which Mario addresses his relationship with his mother. “Coming up, some family and friends weren’t on the right path. In some cases, wrong turns can be over looked but I had to look at them for what they were.” The result has been to overcome life’s challenges in order to pursue his love for singing and turn that love into the stellar music career that he’s experiencing today.

“Go is really just about me finding out who I am and really getting a grasp of it because I know I’m going to give my all, and my career is only going to go up. I’m a very spiritual person. I see God in everything.” Maturing and accepting who he is becoming is the greatest gift Mario could have ever given to himself, and thankfully, his fans get to come along for the ride.
