Hurt No More

Productor, compositor, baterista, músico con mayúsculas Mario Winans está predestinado a ser uno de los grandes de la música contemporánea.

Después de convencerle para que debutara como artista grabador de discos, empezó un proyecto en solitario con la Motown Records. Con la espectacular colaboración de Enya (un susurro difícil de olvidar en un sampler del tema "Story of Boadicea") & P.Diddy (rapeando trozos de la canción), en su primer single, I Don't Wanna Know, logra situarse en el Billboard entre los primeros, siendo un disco debut y un single presentación, prácticamente de salida.

El disco comienza con ese sensacional primer single, del que cuenta: "I express my emotions best through music. I like music that makes your stomach tight. That kind of music that hits that spot that makes you forget everything except your feelings at that moment. I'm singing this for everybody. Women need to know that men have the same hearts they do. We still have to be men about it because you can take our kindness for weakness. But I did that song for all of us. Once and for all, yes, men hurt too".

Otro de los temas Three Days Ago es una carta abierta a alguien que está profundament perdido. Un tema universal, la grabación podría ser fácilmente sobre el amor a un hijo o a un padre. Disbelief es un medio tiempo moderno. Otros temas interesantes son Can't Judge Me, Pretty Girl Bullsh*t con influencias e instrumentaciones techno.

"I've been in a lot of the experiences on this record," cuenta Mario. "And I can talk about them. I can sing about them. As long as I'm making people feel, I'm doing what I was put here by God to do".

Un debut prometedor, de un artista que dará mucho que hablar.

Letra del "I Don't Wanna Know"
[P. Diddy - talking]
Hold up, let me answer my phone
Some bitch callin me about some bullshit probably
I'ma call you right back
I'm doin' this mixtape right now
Now back to what I was sayin

[Verse 1 - Mario Winans]
Somebody said they saw you
The person you were kissing wasn't me
And I would never ask you
I just kept it to myself

[Chorus - Mario Winans]
I don't wanna know
If your playin me, keep it on the low
Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if your creepin, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

[Verse 2 - Mario Winans]
Oh baby
I think about it when I hold you
When lookin in your eyes, I can't believe
I don't need to know the truth
Baby keep it to yourself

[Chorus - Mario Winans]
I don't wanna know
If your playin me, keep it on the low
Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if your creepin, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

[Break - Mario Winans]
Did he touch you better then me (touch you better then me)
Did he watch you fall asleep (watch you fall asleep)
Did you show him all those things that you used to do to me (do to me baby)
If your better off that way (better off that way)
Baby what I like to say (all that I can say)
Go on and do your thing and don't come back to me
(Stay away from me baby)

[Verse 3 - P. Diddy]
I don't wanna know where your whereabouts or how you movin
I know when you in the house or when you cruisin
It's been proven, my love you abusin
I can't understand, how a man got you choosin (yeah)
Undecided, I came and provided ma
My undivided, you came and denied it (why?)
Don't even try it, I know when you lyin (I know when you lyin)
Don't even do that, I know why you cryin (stop cryin)
I'm not applyin no pressure, just wanna let you know
That I don't wanna let you go (I don't wanna let you go)
And I don't wanna let you leave
Can't say I didn't let you breathe
Gave you extra cheese (c'mon), put you in the SUV
You wanted ice so I made you freeze
Made you hot like the West Indies (that's right)
Now it's time you invest in me
Cause if not then it's best you leave
Holla, yeah

[Chorus - Mario Winans]
I don't wanna know
If your playin me, keep it on the low
Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if your creepin, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

If your playin me, keep it on the low
Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if your creepin, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know

If your playin me, keep it on the low
Cause my heart can't take it anymore
And if your creepin, please don't let it show
Oh baby, I don't wanna know
