[edit] History
Go! is the third studio album by singer Mario released on December 10, 2007. The album was originally scheduled to be released on November 28, 2006 under the title "Mario Barrett - Effortless".[1] It was to be the first album in which Mario would use his full name. The album then had several release dates in 2007 including: April 4,[2] May 8, July 31, August 21, October 9 and November 27 - ironically exactly a year after the first date announced.
The album released on December 10, 2007 in the United Kingdom and December 11, 2007 in the United States. The album has been available on internet databases and P2P programs since October 9, 2007. Sources first suggested that this was released in South Africa, later proven wrong. The proper version of Go! was leaked on December 6, 2007.
The album includes songs written and produced by The Neptunes, Stargate, Timbaland, Mr. Collipark, Polow Da Don, Akon and with guests such as Rich Boy and Juelz Santana. This will be Mario's second album that contains a Parental Advisory sticker because the UK edition of Turning point already had it.[3][4][5]
In an interview on DJBooth.net, Mario stated he worked with Scott Storch on the album, but will not include any of the material in the final release of Go.[6] In another interview, Pharrell confirmed that he had produced a ballad called "Faith" for the album but did not make the final album cut.[7]
The first single officially released was "How Do I Breathe", The music video, "How Do I Breathe," premiered May 23, 2007 on BET.
On Mario's official website, he asked fans to vote for the next single with the choices being "Why", "Kryptonite", or "Crying Out For Me". The second single officially released was "Crying Out for Me", The music video premiered September 17, 2007 on BET.
Although not a single, Mario recently shot the video for the song "Do Right." It may be released as the third single although it was recently confirmed on 106 & Park that the official thrid single will be "Music for Love" to be released sometime in 2008.
