Album Details and Production
Mario released his sixth studio album, “Glad You Came” on December 13 via New Citizen/Epic Records. James Fauntleroy produced 13 tracks, especially “Space” as the lead single.
What the Album Offers
According to Rated R&B, “While the album’s details are still scarce, Mario’s website provides the following description: ‘Drawing inspiration from the timeless music of artists like Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson, Mario commands his craft in a way that only a 20-year veteran can.’
A New Chapter With Epic Records
Rated R&B also stated that “with intimate storytelling and lush instrumentation, supported by emotive vocal performances, Mario invites listeners into his space and reintroduces himself as one of the genre’s most game-changing artists.”
Tour With Mary J. Blige
In July 2023, Mario made his association with Epic Records. He created a statement: “Right now, Epic comprises some of the greats in the music game like Sylvia Rhone and Ezekiel Lewis. I’ve been independent for eight years, so this is definitely a new chapter for me and New Citizen. We’re going to be one of the chariots for R&B, and we’re bringing it back.”
On January 30, 2025, Mario would participate the Legendary of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Mary J. Blige as an Opening Act for her For My Fans Tour. The 27-American city tour would travel to Atlanta, New York, Houston, New Orleans prior April 14 in Boston.
