R&B star Mario recently stopped by Angie Martinez’s show to chat about his new 'Glad You Came' album, share insights on his creative process, and bring some laughs with playful moments. The conversation was a mix of deep reflection and lighthearted fun as Mario gave fans a glimpse into his world.
When asked about his approach to writer’s block, Mario explained how he navigates those creative dry spells. While he didn’t give away too many specifics, the singer hinted at staying grounded, finding inspiration in life experiences, and surrounding himself with positive energy to get the creative juices flowing.
Angie, never one to shy away from the real questions, asked Mario whether someone can be both an R&B singer and “gangsta.” The artist kept it cool, offering a thoughtful yet humorous take on balancing the smooth and the edgy sides of life.
In a candid moment, Mario spilled that his celebrity crushes include the talented Nia Long. Angie couldn’t help but laugh, teasing him about his taste in leading ladies. The vibe took a playful turn when Mario attempted to teach Angie how to sing. The studio erupted in laughter as Angie tried (and almost succeeded!) to hit a few notes under Mario’s guidance.
The conversation wrapped up with a discussion about karaoke, with both sharing their go-to tracks. Mario revealed he goes for a classic Michael Jackson when handed the Karaoke mic, while Angie admitted to rocking out to upbeat anthems whenever she’s handed a mic.
With a mix of humor and heart, the interview showcased why Mario remains a beloved figure in the R&B world and a fun guest for Angie’s show. Fans can check out his latest album 💿, now streaming everywhere.
