R&B crooner Mario makes a convincing return from his musical hiatus with a new reggae enthused record titled ‘Let Me Help You.’ Since releasing the buzz track ‘I Need More’ in May, the Baltimore-native has been in reclusion to prep for his upcoming studio album ‘Paradise Cove – hence both tracks breezy island vibes.
Recall the early 2000s when R&B music exuded more substance and an artist’s full vocal range took center stage on a 3-minute track. In his return, Mario looks to return the genre to its fundamental storytelling roots.

I love mario TBH, have done since How Could You.
Love this guy’s voice and music. One of the most underrated male singers since the early 2000s
I agree! I like this And his other new song “I need more” it’s a bop
It’s ok. He needs a stronger team of writers and producers.
He’s one of my favorite male vocalists, but compared to his first 3 albums and some of his unreleased material over the years, I have to agree that this song is lacking. Yes it’s mature and maybe reminiscent of Lionel Richie, but it’s not enough to bring Mario back into the spotlight and generate the attention he needs to be successful. The snippets from his scrapped album with Scott Storch really weren’t good either. I think a mix of Jimmy & Terry, Ne-Yo and Polow da Don would be perfect for Mario, but those options aren’t really on the table as an independent artist. I’ll keep watching and hoping for better music from Mario.
I agree with you,absolutely. He once said his former label didn’t believe in his writing abilities, I guess they had reason not to. He is by far one of the best male vocalists ever,however he needs better(catchy) songs to make it in today’s climate.
The single cover is very 2004 Turning Point album cover. Song is cute doe, i want him to win so badly.
He’s just not good looking enough to sell records
Bittcchhh wtf you look like?
B*******. It isn’t THAT important to look to sell as a male. Though he is not bad looking at all, there are some guys that sold a lot but weren’t the cutest (ed Sheeran?!). The same can not be said for women. Sexism, I know, but that’s what it is…
And he is one of the most talented vocalists out there, so he def needs success. Unfortunately, his material was lacking the last couple of years…
One of the best male vocalist of his generation hands down, hopefully his personal issues are now a thing of the past and he can now focus on his art and giving his fans great music.
I like this track l want Mario to win because he is a real talent and that is what music is missing nowadays.
Mario should just find a woman. Let Me Love You and now Let Me Help You.
Mario, let me help you find a date. Lort.
Love the new song reminds me of his other song let me love you.
I like. Sounds refreshing
Great vocalist, but his music hasn’t been good since Music For Love.
I wanna get with you shoulda been the next single and video.he release the wrong singles is his problem.
Nice song
