Eighteen-year-old R&B artist Mario will release his sophomore album, “Turning Point,” Dec. 7 via J Records. The Scott Storch-produced single “Let Me Love You” has already hit 10 different Billboard charts, reaching new peaks this week of No. 9 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks tally and No. 15 on the Hot 100.
