SONG PREMIERE: MARIO - FATAL DISTRACTION


Still on his comeback trail, Mario releases the second single from his upcoming album, tentatively titled ‘Restoration.’ TheDrop.fm has an exclusive first listen of the yearning ballad, ‘Fatal Distraction,’ which features the singer and his feathery falsetto.


Over a mid-tempo beat and eerie production, Mario has his eye on his best friend’s girlfriend, but fears his love for her will lead to disastrous consequences.

“Visions of making love to you all in my head / Don’t want to wait / Can’t concentrate,” he sings. “All I can think of this here is you screaming my name / It’s gonna be out of body.”

Realizing that an affair would cause a fatal distraction, he croons, “I’m telling you how bad I want you / I’m telling you the bad I won’t do / It’s bad that I don’t have you, like I want to.”

Mario says the song was inspired by a real life situation in which he was dating his manager’s ex-girlfriend. “It just talks about the distractions and temptations and the infatuation that can have on a man when it comes to a woman,” he says.

The Baltimore native is almost finished with his new project, which is set to arrive in September.

“If I had to pick a word, I would definitely say refined,” he says of the album. “Creatively, sonically. All around the board.”

When Mario and Nicki Minaj gave us a sneak peek of their new video, ‘Somebody Else,’ the clips didn’t really show the true storyline. However, the two have just released the official visual.

The video opens with a shot of a city skyline with sirens blaring in the background. Then the visual fades to a shot of Mario lying “dead” on a car.

Although he’s portrayed coming back to life to sing the song, the video follows the aftermath of an argument between Mario and Minaj about their on-screen relationship. The lyrics seem to go so well with the temptation, infidelity and ultimate breakup that occurs in the song.


While viewers wonder why Mario is on top of the car, we are later alluded to the fact that Minaj, who is wearing an all-black dominatrix-esque outfit, gets her revenge and probably pushed him out the window. While this is all speculation, it does fit with the angry storyline that’s embedded in this unhappy ending.
