Solider way to adulthood!

No wonder that many compare him to Usher. The career of both artists is similar, their style is similar to ... of course, the age accordingly ... also, from the dance gestures on the vocal break-conquering song to marketing the makers of both stars have kept to a well-tried knitting patterns and time with success. Just 18 years old Mario goes with "Turning Point" his way "Mario" and has continued ever according to his age a clean and solid R & B album delivered, which can be heard.
Surely it is thus more likely to appeal to teenagers when the texts on adolescent feelings sounds while Usher already convinced more mature, but growing up in this way sounds good. One or the other track will be in ten years if Mario then re-hang up his old songs listen, otherwise ... for example "Girl I Need" or "Nikes Fresh Out The Box", the latter superfluous! Songs about brand shoes belong to the advertising, not to be taken seriously by his listeners on an album! "Like Me Real Hard" one could understand a little wrong in the American, "Directions" and "How Could You" are nicely arranged ballads that remind me of KC & JoJo, "boom" sounds like the deleted demo version of Usher's (already again this comparison) "Yeah" and "Call The Cops" annoying already a little after the second listening, because too many simply destroy Backgroundstimmen the Groove. "Let Me Love You", making it the highlight of this album, the remix should be considered at the end of the CD is not just a bonus.
Nevertheless, I give this album blows me not from the flip-flops, 4 points. Mario is still very young and has a great talent and he is growing up with a lot of fun to bring this talent to even better advantage ... certainly with the next album! "Turning Point" is a good solid example, as it is Usher's "My Way" or even Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" at that time was too!
