Mario On HOT 97

Mario stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about his new album Glad You Came and how this era feels different for him because he’s more intentional and connected to the music. He opened up about relationships, saying breaking up isn’t easy for him—he’d rather stick things out until the wheels fall off. He also touched on his song Space, sharing how he’s at a point in life where he might as well put someone on the account, showing his evolving approach to love and commitment. Mario gave Nessa an impromptu singing lesson, proving once again why he’s confident about being one of the greatest voices of his generation. He reflected on career challenges, his lowest moments, and the emotional I’m Sorry interlude. Looking back on the 20th anniversary of Turning Point, he admitted he didn’t realize Let Me Love You would become such a massive hit. Now, with support from peers like Nicki Minaj and Drake, Mario’s feeling grateful and getting ready to hit the road with Ne-Yo.
