Title: Now You Know
Review: Mario Winans' breakout cd is not up to par. As a matter of fact this cd is wack. First things first the guy cannot sing as well as others out in the industry at the moment ( Anthony Hamilton, C. Richardson, Van Hunt...etc. ). His vocals need some work. Secondly there are too many weak wannabe soundalike dance tracks. None of them work and are pretty corny and wack. Thirdly weak interludes break up the already dismal flow of the album. Fourthly the lyrics aren't that great and can become tiresome without a great voice carrying them. In actuality there were only 3 or 4 songs that had some appeal mainly `I Don't Wanna Know' and `Shouldve Known', but the rest are skippable, generic filler tracks. You can tell Diddy doesn't put much effort into his R&B acts anymore with this album and Carl Thomas' album being less than stellar. Remember when Bad Boy used to dominate with Total, 112, Faith Evans? This album is a throwaway...don't waste your money.
