NEW MUSIC: MARIO – MY BED (NEW SINGLE)

Funny thing is, yesterday, I said Mario better drop a new single soon or he’s going to be lost. Looks like I wasn’t the only one thinking that. However, I used the word Hot, to describe my hopes for the song. I don’t think this lives up to those expectations. As much as Mario has been mainstream, and wants to receive that attention, he has the chops to make Great R&B, and that is what he should focus on. Moving on…Here is a brand new single from Mario, entitled “My Bed.” It is produced by Christopher “Deep” Henderson and Tony “Chef Tone” Scales. Maybe, it will grow on me…
