After helping himself to a critically acclaimed comeback with ‘Let Me Help You,’ R&B singer Mario continues his quest for a Hot 100 resurgence with the deeply personal number, ‘Pain is the New Pleasure.’
Taking to Billboard recently to dish on the new single, the crooner shared:
“The song deals with my thoughts and feelings towards self-sabotage, self-love and the experience in relation to the material world we live in. The song is really about finding true happiness and I feel like that’s something that can only come from within. The record represents finding that space where you choose to finally love yourself and choose to make better decisions.”
The Pham produced tune comes as the latest from his newly titled forthcoming fifth album, ‘Cosmo 17.’ Get into it below:

Gotta love it , he sound so great!!
His mother passed away so I glad he found the strength to push forward. He is s*** and talented. Let me call my sister Neyo and see if she can do a favor for you. I want you to win.
#StayStrong
I met him at a album preview party he had last month. He’s cool, calm and laid back in person. He played some unfinished tracks and this was one of them. If I’m being completely honest since Mario is my favorite r&b male, he’s better than this song. The music and vocal arrangement is not very appealing. Sorry, but he’s gotta get it right if he’s going to be successful as an independent artist.
It doesn’t sound finished.
