"GO" In Stores TODAY!
Mario will perform “Crying Out For Me” on 106 & Park on December 13.
The follow-up to 2004’s double platinum Turning Point, which spawned the Billboard Awards winning hit “Let Me Love You,” Go picks up where Mario left off with classic yearning ballads, such as the album’s first single “How Do I Breathe” to his upcoming single “Music For Love.” While Go still features Mario’s silky smooth vocals, it showcases a more mature Mario, talking in equal breaths about romance, love, and even sex. Past hits have seen a young Mario skirting the issue in his chart-toppers, the now 21-year-old tackles it head on in the sexually charged banger “Go” and the sensual “Lay In My Bed.” Also on his mind are relationship challenges on “No Definition” and confessions of a roving eye on “Kryptonite.” Producers Stargate, The Neptunes, Timbaland, Mr. Collipark, Polow Da Don, Akon, Nelly and more, round out the album’s stellar production.
On “Do Right,” Mario sings of his early years growing up with a drug-addicted mother and fighting for a better life. The confessional ballad was in part inspired by his star role in the film “Freedom Writers” as Andre, a teen struggling to ascend through life with an incarcerated brother and an addict mother. But just as art imitates life, Mario recently made a valiant decision to share with the world his personal life via the MTV’s News & Docs' I Won't Love You To Death: The Story of Mario and His Mom, which gave an intimate look at his battle with his mother’s heroin addiction. The process of revealing his difficult and emotional journey triggered his passion to create Mario’s Do Right Foundation, a not-for-profit organization for underprivileged kids and those that are growing up with parents with substance abuse problems.
In a time where young celebrities are going astray, Grammy-nominated Mario matures into a responsible young superstar with an album that emphasizes the signature crooning that has earned him the reputation as one of the best voices of his generation.

love sandy!!!
Finally
Wed, 12/12/2007 - 11:26 — KenCiI've waited since July of 2006 for this album to drop,
and with the unprecedented ways of his songs being leaked,
I must say it was very disappointing.
However, the album is a MUST,
and I personally wanna thank Mario for dropping such a strong album.
I really didn't have any songs to listen to these days,
but your album gave me something new and refreshing.
Love the new album.
Music Heaven!
Wed, 12/12/2007 - 14:15 — mario4rory"Go" is here at last and it is everything that i love about music...Mario hits every mood that i can possibly have... For my sexy mood he wants to "Lay in my bed" as i indulge in a little "Music for love"...then sexy man trys to teach this grown woman a "right and a wrong way" to love as he croons a sexy classic from MY day..and i must thank Mario for taking it back for the grown folks..i give his album a 10 but not because i'm a Mario fan but because i'm a MUSIC fan..he rips it from the begining with Go, to ending it just right with "Do right"...Mario love, you have lived up to THIS fans' year long expectations of your album and i THANK YOU for giving me the gift of GREAT music!!

IF you don't know now you know!!
Thu, 12/13/2007 - 10:27 — Euphony1013I've been trying my best to come up with a clever way to say how much I adore GO!. But I think mario4rory pretty much said it all! So I'm just gonna be honest. This album is Mario's best yet!! I wake up to this album, I go to sleep to it, and I listen to it ALL DAY when I'm at work. I'm almost speechless because this album is soooo hot!!!! Its REAL MUSIC, REAL situations creatively layed out to some amazing vocals and some hot beats! I can't really even pick a favorite song but "Kryptonite" and "Skippin' " are without a doubt my top two.They're gonna be my new work out songs when I'm at the gym doing my pilates! I bought 10 copies already to give as Christmas gifts this year!!
Thank you Mario!

One of the best bday gifts
Tue, 12/18/2007 - 22:30 — babycharmI bought myself GO! for my birthday and it was a fabulous gift. Sensual, captivating and manages to inspire at the same time. It's a great Albumn. Favourite songs are emerging but with great difficulty as each pulls at different chords within me - I love Do Right and Music for Love most ... in this moment.
Thanks for a great birthday gift, Mario.

MARIO IS A TRUE ARTIST
Sat, 12/29/2007 - 22:57 — TRISHAMario is a true artist,that has undeniable talent. He has a maturity that is rarely seen in young artists today. No matter the countless rumors that he faces, especially at this point in his career, he cointinues to handle himself with maturity. As he matures so does his music with tracks like Lay in my bed" and Do right" which are my favorite from his new album GO" ,his maturity shines through.
He is a true artist in every sense of the statement
sincerly,
TRISHA

Mario is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mon, 12/31/2007 - 17:23 — guhikjlAll i can say is that i'm in love with Mario Barrett
for all of the obvious reasons and then some
he is a rare phenomenon & I know there is more to come
from him as an actor & as an artist
I pray and hope that he conitnues to put GOD first in his life and to make wise decisions throughout his personal and artistic life styles
I love the way that he always mentions GOD in whatever he accomplishes
I enjoy seeing his respect and appreciation for his fans but most importantly for his mother
Any man who can take on the burden of his loved ones and place it on himself
and still manage to do the things that he does
takes him to whole other level
I love Mario and will continue to admire him because he shows himself as being a human being first then the artist

All i gottA SAY is Go COP it. Its says it all on its own.
Thu, 01/10/2008 - 22:32 — jazzieI had the ablum since it first came out. Mario did his thing on the ablum. His ablum is off the chain. I got two copies of it just in case one gets messed up. I am a supporter of this fine man. Mario is the greatest. He keeps it real and he isn't afraid to let a female know yeah I am feeling and u should leave that fake dude and roll with me. He is so sweet. The song that has me in tears is DO RIGHt cuz It reminds me of my uncle that we don't know where he is at. He inspirers me to want more for myself thanks mario so much for being the greatest. luv ur fan forever Erika.I still remember watching his documentary on MTV. You had me crying when you started shaking and crying when you was on the phone talking to your mom. I am so proud of you. U ARE A ACHIEVER AND A SUCCEEDER. I was shooked that u came out publicly cuz most celebrites are private about things. I totally loved when u was helping ur moms through the entirer thing. U sray by her every moment. and most of all u didn't give up on her and thats cool to me. Thanks mario for sharing that cuz at first I felt like I was the only one trying to cope with the same situtation. Ur songs help me to get through the bad times and good times. U also scarred the crap out of me cuz when u was in a hotel in NYC and u went to the stuck ur head out of the window I didn't know wat to think, then I glad to see that u was okay ( I was glad to see that u wasn't totally pissed that u do something crazy ( something no worth writing but u get where i going I hope)cuz, if anything was to ever happen to u I don't know what I would do. I'll tell u this I would be able to handle it. So please stay safe and never drink and drive. and never forget ur peoples (fans) Especially Me.
Will be one of the GREATS!!!!!!!!!
Sun, 01/13/2008 - 22:58 — gigiMario will be one of the GREATS. He will be a David Ruffin, A Marvin Gaye, A Gerald Levart, a classic entertainer. He has grown.....I love the CD. Mario touches the soul, put chills all over me. Excellent.....Keep up the great work. Love Ms.GiGi

Wed, 01/16/2008 - 07:33 — BreannaHallMario is The Best in the Buissness If u Ask Me (I'm Talkin' Helpin' His And Other People's Community) And Thats A Real Good And big Deal To Be Gettin' Involved In Young Adults Lives Like He Does.

"Go" by Mario (A Review By Mocha Soul)
Mon, 01/21/2008 - 19:17 — mocha_soul1If you haven't heard this album ur sleeping.. This is a huge growth from "Turning Point".. I'm not mad at the effort you put in for this album, no lie.. I just can't get enough of you Mario.. My song is "Cryin' Out For Me".. "Mario, just to let you know that I wouldn't hurt you so you wouldn't have to cry out for me.."
