After two consecutive well-received R&B projects, singer Mario is changing up his style. According to a source close to his camp, the Baltimore native will be going with a dance/pop vibe on his next album. Currently untitled with no set release date, the LP will feature material like Green Light, a record that was recorded last month. Produced by Jazze Pha, the song features Thriller-esque elements, which allow the young singer to channel his inner Michael Jackson. After several long delays, Mario’s third studio album, Go, finally reached store shelves this past December; he hopes that his next project will be out at the same time this year. From the sound of things, he might get a green light.

I'm normally a pretty big fan of Mario but I'm not really feeling this song. However, I did recently hear "I Choose You" and "Promise Land" by Mario and I liked them a lot more than this song. This song doesn't fit Mario's normal style that well... but he could have more radio success with a song like "I Choose You" where he actually uses his great voice and has more of a R&B sound.

I agree with you JayhawkA13 this is not Mario style at all...It is amazing that good artist are always trying to change up there style when nothing is wrong with the old way...different is great but this is extreme!

Listen, this will be a hit if it hits the radios. It has alot of MJ feel to it, and we all know how successful his style is.

The song isn't too bad. For an uptempo by Mario it's pretty solid and it sound like a good album track to me. I dunno how well this would do as a single. Every artist seem to be doing songs like this nowadays so who knows.

Definetly not comparable to that OTHER Green Light song out right now, haha, but Ive always been a fan of Mario. This just doesnt impress me much, nothing stands out on here and the vocals are pretty calm. Just ok to me.

Good uptempo song...could go either way..a decent album track but not a single. However like THEGREATEST stated earlier, if it hits the radio, it will hit. Maybe a remix version is needed here.

Mario should leave the MJ feel to Ne-Yo. To Me, this is just ok but I'm sure clubs will let it rock. Didn't Cinderella wear glass pumps? Can't groove with those on.

I like the spaced out Jazze beat and the dance feel on the track. I didn't think it was that bad, definitely something different for Mario. Decent.

Yeah, what's with the same title? Come on people. This is certainly a hot styled song, but I feel like if Ne-Yo sung this, it would BE A HIT! For some reason, Mario just doesn't cut it on this track vocally for me. His vocals don't come strong enough. It's really a shame because it's a great song and everything...he just needed to be more intense.

This song isn't bad.Sounds like something you can salsa to. He just got off the Dancing with the stars show. He knows he has a new adiance with this upcomming album. He has Pop status at this point. I wonder if this will work as a sucessful single, but I do expect a good album so he should follow this up with a banger.

This song is hot it's very different from the other songs that's out. He has his own style on it he didn't copy what's hot now he also has the MJ influence which makes the song even better. This is a orginal song the lyrics are great nice dance feel to it, the beat is awesome. If songs like Disturbia doing well this will too it's right up there with good job Mario.

Mario is so versatile, this track explains that with how he easily transitions to an up beat production, keep doing your thing man, you got my support

this is Mario's best since Let Me Love You, the first two beats sound like billie jean, probably on purpose to help instill that MJ feel, the drum pattern then switches up, the swag on this is redic!

Ohh Mario I adore you but this song would be sacrificed if I reach maximum capacity on my Ipod :/It's not bad just too different for what I'm used to him releasing and I'm not feeling the hook in the least bit.
