‘Go’ singer Mario is going to great lengths to reintroduce himself to fans and Billboard charts alike after the last few years of his life have been riddled with personal and legal drama, furthered by poor record sales. With his forthcoming February 2012 album ‘Restoration’ hoping to restore his name to the aforementioned outlets, its preceding mixtape, ‘Truth Be Told’, is looking to assist the acquisition. With new music on the horizon, the young crooner has been documenting the recording process in a Vlog called ‘Mario Mondays’.
Most recently, the set saw the oft-praised R&B vocalist lend his vocals to one of the year’s biggest hits – Adele‘s ‘Rolling In the Deep’. Definitely looking to get people talking, find out how Mr. Barrett fared on the cut after the jump:

Interesting twist on the number. A number , mind you, that many-a-singer are now attempting to prove the merit of their vocal chops. In all fairness, Mario’s skill, while indubitable, may not bode well with fans of the original arrangement of the song as its original stylings (along with vocal arrangements) are part of its mass appeal.
Even in such, the singer’s vocals stand as a testament that there are some young crooners who can actually sing and do not have to rely on heavy studio assistance to sing basic songs. Let’s hope his entire future bodies of work, boasted on forthcoming mixtapes and LPs, accurately reflect what the Baltimorean is more than capable of producing.
