Mario is working on his next album, an effort he says will likely be filled with electronic/house sounds and if time permits, a collaboration with Chris Brown. “Stay tuned. I just came back from Europe â it’s crazy out there,” Mario said earlier this week. “It was incredible to see how many people are into house music and R&B music, and how house music influences R&B nowadays. You know, [it has a] real strong presence … over there.” After collaborating with Sean Garrett and Gucci Mane on his last album, “D.N.A,” Mario has his eye on working with embattled singer Chris Brown. Calling the collaboration one “for the ladies,” the two could be heard together on his next album. Mario’s as-yet-untitled fifth studio album is slated for release summer/fall 2010.
