After thrilling with his Valentine’s Day single, ‘Luxury Love,‘ GRAMMY-nominated R&B crooner Mario kept a low profile over most of the year as he reportedly put the finishing touches on his highly anticipated, yet-titled sixth studio album (the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Dancing Shadows’).

The latest taste of music expected to line the forthcoming project is the Chris Brown-assisted, ‘Get Back.’  A bedroom-ready bop, the song sees the R&B duo trade verses about longing to reunite with a distant lover.

“Gotta get back to your body (your body, babe) / When I close my eyes I feel you wrapped around me (I need it, need it) / Gotta get back to your body, yeah (oh)  Girl, you’re flawless like the diamonds…,” they sing on the mid-tempo tune.

Jada Pinkett Smith believes it’s a low down dirty shame how her words regarding her sex life with Academy Award-nominated husband Will Smith have been twisted to vilify her.

As fans of her EMMY-winning Facebook Watch series, ‘Red Table Talk,’ know, the 50-year-old dished with her Academy Award-winning friend Gwyneth Paltrow about the challenges of maintaining a long-term marriage – especially related to the bedroom.

“The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey. We started in this at a very young age, 22 years old… I think you expect your partner to know [what you need], especially when it comes to sex,” she said. “It’s like, ‘Well, if you love me, you should know. If you love me, you should read my mind.’ That’s a huge pitfall.”

After viewers took to social media in droves to slam Pinkett-Smith for what many are calling ‘yet another attempt to embarrass Will’ (following last year’s “entanglement” scandal), she’s taken to Twitter to clap back.  See it inside:
