The album was originally scheduled to be released on November 28, 2006 under the title ""Mario Barrett - Effortless"". 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, May 8, July 31, August 21, October 9, and finally November 27 - coincidentally, exactly a year after the first date announced. The album was eventually released on December 10, 2007 in the United Kingdom and December 11, 2007 in the United States.
