Two-time GRAMMY nominee and R&B icon, Mario, has unleashed his sixth studio album, Glad You Came, executive produced by James Fauntleroy. The album, which features the Fauntleroy-produced lead single, “Space,” clocks in at 13 tracks, and features a guest contribution from the singer Rebe.
Glad You Came, Mario’s first full-length album since 2018’s Dancing Shadows, is the star singer’s first album to release via his label and production company, New Citizen, and Epic Records, which he joined in 2023. Mario, known best for the canonical classic R&B hit “Let Me Love You,” handcrafted Glad You Came beside Fauntleroy for much of the past two years, a process that has produced “a new era of Mario” that the singer is keen on introducing to the world. “The conversation throughout the album lends itself to my successes and failures in love, and my imaginations of both,” Mario says.
Glad You Came is now available. Stream it today.
Alongside the arrival of the R&B superstar’s sixth studio album, Glad You Came, on Friday (Dec. 13), Mario has delivered the music video for “Keep Going (Aaaaahhhhh),” the focus track off his upcoming LP.
The feature is co-directed by James Bahman and Mario, and is available now. Watch it here.
