Following the release of his latest single "Main One," featuring Lil Wayne and Tyga, Mario says "I think I need like another classic album."
While he didn't confirm when fans can be expecting a full length project from him, he says the new project will be "timeless and classic," and that it has to be "intentional."
"Everything's intentional, the details are intentional, right? You not just going in being like 'oh, I got a nice voice I can sing some songs' like nah, it's what is the conversation, what is the story, what is the visual. I take all of that very serious," he explained.

The "Let Me Love You" singer is gearing up for the Champagne and Roses Tour with Ne-Yo and Robin Thicke and he believes "if you love R&B and you support R&B" you should definitely be in attendance.
With the tour starting at the end of summer, Mario added that "we going into cuffing season, so we setting y'all up real nice... you could have a really good end of the year if you bring yo' shawty to the show."
And speaking of shawties, he did vaguely reveal that he is not single at the moment, but didn't want to specify is he was dating someone exclusively or if he is dating multiple people right now, but he did slide in that "'she is happy."
In honor of 50 years of Hip-Hop, he also talked about collaborating with the late Biz Markie on "Just a Friend 2002." He describes it as being "amazing," and revealed that it was originally supposed to be Usher's song.
