Mario Winans is the latest big thing to come from Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs label Bad Boy Records. The promotional campaign is in full swing promoting Mr Winas deeming him the next sensation and his first single ‘I Don’t Wanna Know’ is getting a lot of airplay on the commercial radio stations.
Mario Winans if of the classic soul genre. He can play piano and has obviously been schooled by the more sensitive r’n’b artist. You can hear R Kelly influences in his style of singing. His voice is more high pitched and sweet. It misses that gravely raw sound. It’s more polished and flows with a soft serenity that will certainly grab nu soul lovers. The music makes a change from what we hear from American r’n’b these days. With the exception of ‘How I Made It’ the music is generally softer and more melodic probably due to a strong piano influence. You can expect funky grooves from a band well versed in r’n’b but it’s not as upbeat as Maxwell or as cool as D’Angelo.
This album is soft soothing and laid back. It’s for lovers of soul and has a classy sound. It does have crossover pop potential so will appeal to a wider audience. It’s not ballsy and could be quite bland in places for some. It’s specific to its genre and holds a place in that scene.
从福音音乐转向R&B音乐之后，这是Mario Winans的第二张个人专辑，作为R&B音乐出色的音乐制作人以及歌曲创作者，再加上东家吹牛老爹Sean ＂Puffy＂ Combs的Bad Boy唱片公司的包装宣传协助，曾经第一张专辑遭到了商业惨败的Mario Winans的这张专辑却是非常的受欢迎，在发行首周，这张专辑的销量就将近22万3千张，在Billboard 200排行榜上位居亚军，创下了Mario Winans个人音乐生涯的最高纪录。
或许由于Mario Winans自身也是鼓手的原因，这张专辑里的歌曲也比其他一些R&B音乐更为突出了打击乐器的演奏。不过整张专辑里最突出的作品依然是《I Don＇t Wanna Know》，这首由恩雅和吹牛老爹Sean ＂Puffy＂ Combs加盟的单曲作为专辑里的首支打榜单曲应该说商业成绩还是非常辉煌的。从音乐创作角度来说，这张专辑中的歌曲在同类型的R&B歌曲中应该说还是相当不错的，由此也可以看得出出身于音乐世家的Mario Winans在音乐创作以及制作方面还是相当好的。不过，除此以外，这张专辑也没有太多值得圈点之处，一张还算不错的商业R&B专辑。Mario Winans is the latest big thing to come from Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs label Bad Boy Records.
