Genere
R&B/Soul
Though only 15 in 2002, when he had his first hit with his playful update of Biz Markieās āJust a Friend,ā Mario already boasted the maturity of a performer far beyond his years. Itās easy to see why he made such an impression on Clive Davis, the music-biz legend who signed him to J Records not long after the teenagerāborn Mario Dewar Bennett in 1986āfirst earned attention singing Boyz II Men songs in talent competitions in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Released in 2004, second album Turning Point more than fulfilled all of Marioās early potential with its smooth and skillful blend of pop and R&B. The albumās first and biggest hit, āLet Me Love You,ā also helped launch the career of its writer Ne-Yo. On Marioās next two albums for Jā2007ās Go and 2009ās D.N.A.āhe adopted a tougher swagger on match-ups with Rich Boy and Gucci Mane, but that softer side often re-emerged on the gorgeous likes of āThinkinā About Youā and āI Choose You.ā Returning to music after a long hiatus, the former teen star continued to ease into his all-grown-up guise as a first-class balladeer on 2018ās Dancing Shadows, a confident and beautifully emotive set of old-school soul and spacy alt-R&B.
