Dancing Shadows is the fifth studio album from American singer and songwriter Mario, released on October 5, 2018.
[1] The release of the album marks the first under the singer's own imprint New Citizen Music, in partnership with EMPIRE Distribution.
In mid-2015, Mario announced that he has reunited with Scott Storch, who produced his 2004 hit "Let Me Love You", on a new album, titled Never 2 Late for a song called "Enemy", that ended up being finished by Chris Brown and published on his album Heartbreak on a Full Moon.
Music Festival in June 2018, announcing that the album's final title was Dancing Shadows and would be released later in 2018 with a new single called "Drowning": "We changed the name of it.
[17] The title track "Dancing Shadows" was issued as the album's second single on September 14, 2018, alongside its music video.
[21] HotNewHipHop noted that Dancing Shadows finds himself in a convalescent mood, though at this seems obvious that at this point, Mario is more at ease in a dimmer spotlight hanging over his head."
The website called the album a "surprisingly cohesive comeback attempt, very much the work of a wizened individual who writes on his vision board each morning.
