Overall: Mario's fourth release finds the singer moving toward a broader audience. Positively it is more of his development rather than a push for mass appeal. A lot of the beats have some heavy percussion and large, building hooks or catchy quick uptempo ones. There's some ballads, none of which are spectacular, but decent. The problem with the album is that a few of the songs begin to sound the same with the same formula which affects the convincingness of the tracks and their appeal. There aren't necessarily bad tracks, but a few aren't as memorable. There's no killer ballad/bedroom number or a pure R&B number, more pop accessible tracks that focus on catchiness.
