Mario – Get Out

Look at what the Hip Hop/R&B machine crewed up and spit out, its Mario’s new album titled D.N.A. and it hit stores Tuesday, October 13, 2009! Now, I wasn’t checking for Mario due to a number of things. One of those being that I have not gotten into his style of music since “Braid My Hair” and now that I look back onto it, I don’t know why the hell I was loving that song! LOL  The other one was that all the tracks that leaked were lacking a true focus of what the album was going to sound like.  But anywho, the album D.N.A. has a list of hot, current, producers like Sean Garrett, The-Dream & Tricky Stewart.

With that said you would think Mario’s album would be jammed packed with hit songs out the ass but sadly enough it isn’t. #IJUSTDontSeeIt I’m so SORRY for those that were counting on him being the savior of R&B music because of his exceptional vocal ability and decent range. I just do NOT see it happening for him anytime soon with these more than OLD industry washed out songs. MALE R&B singers, we have to do better! I mean come on!!!! I know its hard out here to garner attention to your craft without selling your soul but if you are going to go that route please come with it and less with these “remixed” sounding songs that have been sung by other artist. There are so many song/artist references on this album that it hurts to listen to it #BAM!!!!

I don’t believe I have a favorite track but, the one’s I can bare to listen to are “Starlight” and “Get Out”. “Starlight” is reminiscent of an 80’s Michael Jackson song; I want to say “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” remixed 2010 version! #POW! LOL The lyrics talk of a girl that Mario is trying to “sack”, but it sounds more like he’s pleading for a one night stand! LOL But who am I to judge? I love the production but some of the adlibs and techniques he’s doing with his voice are a bit much and lose me in this song. When “Get Out” first leaked it had Ludacris on it at but since then his verse has been removed on the album version, which to me is neither a good or bad thing considering he didn’t help any! #BANG I like it because it has a heavy beat and it’s something you could possibly ride out to. I’m not really into the lyrics as they are generic, he states “this ain’t love, this ain’t human, this ain’t real, so what the fuck is we doing…?” I mean really though… is he serious? I guess so chile!

So I am asking you all to be the judge on this one. If you’re the diehard fan you claim to be then please go buy Mario’s album and support him as I believe he will need it. I do not hate him, I just don’t like his music as of lately. He has talent but what he’s doing with it is something I can’t get into #ImJustSayin!
