After being under the radar for over a year, Mary J. Blige is ready to return to the music scene. However, the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul is gearing up to challenge her Pop music counterparts not with cliche Dance beats but with the classic sounds of Mary J.
Expected to arrive in stores on September 20th, ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues’ serves as the sequel to her iconic 1994 LP, ‘My Life’. The record will entail contributions from Johnta, Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, Danja, Stargate, Johnta Austin and others.
Check out the Colin Tilley-video for the project’s 1st single, ‘Someone To Love Me (Remix) (Ft. Diddy & Lil Wayne)’ below:

Nice hair!
She looks damn good in this video, i like this song, it has a nice vibe to it.
Going to FLOP!
Wooow Hot Comeback!
Can’t wait for the new album!
Another Mary J. classic album! The title of the new album sounds promising as the list of producers.
Go MARY!
This B**** can never flop are u kidding me? all her albums went platinum wacha smoking mary j. has a strong adult fan base as long as she delivers nd gets a good review ppl will buy her s***.
Mary back to attack these h***!
LOVE Mary! I can’t wait for her new album!!!
please work with lil kim!!! do a ” he cant love you” 2011 version!
If her first single is out now, why the f*** is she releasing the album 5 months from now??? SMH. already off to a bad start. Not saying she’s gonna flop, she always sells consistently….but still.
I LOVE her new hair too!
I personally am looking forward to hearing her next album. As the original “My Life” album remains my favorite Mary album. As well as one of my all time favorite albums. Her last two albums didnt really give me what i needed, but I still remain a loyal fan. Hopefully going back down the route of such a classic album, will put her back where she needs to be. I’m tired of these half assed singers ruling everything. MARY PLEASE BRING BACK REAL R&B! NOT R&B/POP… R&B/SOUL!!!!
I love it, go get em Mary. @Perrylicious MJB is legendary she’ll never be a flop now go listen to your corny bubble gum pop music
“please work with lil kim!!! do a ” he cant love you” 2011 version!”
I agree!!!
Dam when Mary around Puff she take me back to that Old skool swagalicous Mary. i think this is different and hot. But it kinda sounds like I anit thru By keshia cole and we all know how that worked out for her.

Yaaaaassss!!!!!
Hmm liking this song and video. Always been in two minds about Mary because as much as she can sing the way she lets her voice shake all over the place can annoy me sometimes. Glad she’s changed her hair though.
Regarding this song though, it’s okay. It’s not her best, but still better than most mainstream songs out today. I can’t wait to hear the rest of her new music though!!!
Its alright i was looking for a slamdunk with Mary…guess i have to wait on second single then!!! September is a long time to wait guess well get 3 singles by then huh….
If the album sounds like this I’m not buying it. This s*** is whack.
Same ole raggedy ass Shity Stankperry stan in here hating. Wouldn’t know talent if it hit u in the booty with a d****. Smh
TRENT- YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO INSULT!
SOMEONE TO LOVE ME IS “NOT” THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THE NEW ALBUM YOU DIPSHIT NOR HAS THE ALBUM TITLE BEEN CONFIRMED!!!
THIS IS ALL JUST SPECULATION AND OF COURSE TRENT THROWING A LITTLE SOMETHING SOMETHING IN THERE TO START SOME MESS!
She needs to team up with diddy on this one. i dont like dude but the two of them make classic rnb music!
i wish she wiould retire
she had some classics back in da day
but know everything she comes out with sound like a welfare chick wit 17 kids wrote it
This is hip hop soul !!!!!!!
and to correct thegrapejuice this is the teaser single until the first official single this summer… anyone who knows Mary, knows she most of the time releases something for the streets and then attacks lol
I love this song and I can already tell by the title and producers, this WILL be a great album.
Rolling Stone said it contains a retro feel, soul samples and alot of live instruments.
@LOL
F****** dead! And I agree lool. Mary J just ain’t what she used to be and another this I can’t stand about her is how miserable she is, always dwelling on what happened to her earlier in her life. Move on bish.
It’s nice seeing Mary in this video, she looks younger. I am a little tired of seeing her wear puffy furs and big fedora hats. Still, she looks good! The song will have to grow on me, but the video is decent.

Boring as usual when it comes to her. She needs to tend to that failing marriage. This s*** is a fail too!
Mary’s Last Album was considered a FLOP because it sold 332,000 First WEEK….So that goes to show you that MARY J. BLIGE is no where
NEAR a FLOP Artist 🙂
I like the Song…It’s Gritty….Dark….It’s HIP-HOP……Mary always sales because her Fanbase is HUGE…
She does Music for her Older….Younger….Middle-aged….White….BLack…Straight and Gay Audience…..
She has nothing to worry About….Maybe OTHERS….But NOT MARY 🙂
SitAllTheWayTheFuckDown.ORG 🙂
This is obviously not the real official single as it’s really a remix to the same song on Dirty Money’s cd, Last Train to Paris. It may get included on Mary’s final cd, but this ain’t the first single. Just a lil tease to put Mary back on the scene.
it makes me nervous whenever we get a sequel to a classic, it never lives up to the hype
Why dont b****** dance anymore. Dance, loosen up those knees Mary and bring your music to life with motion, over there looking like a stiff log cabin. #RealLove
@DUMMIES Thank you very much!!! No hit single and still had a nice first week
Meanwhile b****** have 2 #1s on the chart and only push about 200k
These artists are lucky to even see 332k in their overall sales in 2011
MJB doesn’t need gimmicks, dancing and tricks to sell her records
Never has and never will! She is the definition of an artist.
Mary and Bey will be competition
why do all these dumb stans of the non talented fake artist always try to throw shade at real talented artist. @ the idiot who said this sounds like keyshia cole needs to go jump out the f****** window.
WooopWooop
Loooove this song XD
HOT!!!!! Mary can do no wrong and I can’t wait until September 20th!
Love mary but i think original version is better than this.
Yay Mary Is Coming Back:)!
Can’t Wait To Get Her Album!
#QueenBeyonce2011
Wow everything is happening pretty fast! I didn’t even know she had a single or an album out this year!
I always had a love/hate relationship with Mary’s music. I love some of her records (‘The Breakthrough’) and on the other hand I just can’t get into other projects (‘My Life’). Her last album ‘Stronger With Each Tear’ was very weak, because there were actually more Pop songs than R&B. This song is completely different. Very very old school, that’s the type of songs which have to grow on me. I’ll see. I just want another ‘Breakthrough’!!!!
THIS IS NOT HER FIRST SINGLE. THIS IS MORE LIKE A BUZZ SINGLE LIKE SHE DID FOR MJB DA MVP. SHE WILL GO HAAAAAAAAARD FOR THE OFFICIAL FIRST SINGLE. WATCH AND SEE.
I’M SO IMPRESSED , MY HEART IS BEATING FAST. MARY J. BLIGE IS BAAAAAACK !!!!!!!
Ps: Mary J. has never flopped. Katy Perry fans must have been smoking too much candy canes and coton candy… Get your facts together.
It is NOT THE FIRST SINGLE.
Read the official statement… this blog is getting so FLOP BLOG
On January 4, 2011 on Hot 97, Angie Martinez premiered a new version of Diddy-Dirty Money’s “Someone to Love Me”. The remix, titled “Somebody to Love Me” (Naked), features new vocals from Blige and Lil Wayne.[38]The song was released as an iTunes digital download single on March 29, 2011 and serves as a TEASER UNTIL THE OFFICIAL FIRST SINGLE from the album. The video for the song was directed by Colin Tilley. [39]
She’s amazing. I love how she embraces the new artists of today while still being real and making the music she loves. Can’t wait for the album.
I’m confused about this single though. I remember watching the video for the original song a while ago and Dawn/Kalenna were singing the chorus, Mary J was nowhere to be found. She wasn’t even credited as a vocalist. Is this really her song?
@THAT FLOP JUICE
Thank you! I was wondering the same thing! Trent & Sam have been releasing quite a bit of false information lately.
I like it, but its not her first single and MJB is that b****! Diddy irks the hell out of me but I have to admit him and Mary are a very nice match up. can’t wait to hear the album the last two didn’t do it for me but if she’s going back to the old Mary it should be good.
OAN Colin Tilley is EVERYWHERE I kno he’s glad he met and worked with Chris Brown cause he directing everybody videos now. I aint mad at him he has a creative eye so I like.
She lookin goooood. Not sure about the song though. Never really a fan of Diddy.
So many Beyonce stans show love to Mary J. … Wow thanks for once !
why would she put diddy on the 1st single or teaser ??? beyond me and this song is tanking on itunes
PLEASE, i’m not even a Katy Perry stan/fan but we shouldn’t judge them all by @Perrylicious’s crazy ass standards, this b**** know 3 words… Kate, Perry and FLOP.
Anyway i like this song, Mary looks younger with her hair like that and the bridge part is takin me back 😀 shame i can’t stand Lil Wang and Diddi? … i’ll give her a pass on him coz he seemed to take her back to the good ol days lol
Yes she better come hard with this album and the lead single had better not be annother attempt to rehash “Be without you” or i’ll be pissed…
Mary ish SHITTING on these so called musical h***,LOL
Mary chamge with every cd. Cant say the same for majority of the females. This is 20 plus years strong and not stopping for NO ONE.
Looks like she is taking in retro, mixing the hip hop back in her music. Don’t know why she is doing this 5 months in advance though. But I like the concept. Sidebar: I like those leather jackets by Diddy and Wayne, especially the one with the red collar worn by Wayne.
From what I hear, this is the buzz single..
I f****** love it Mary j Blige looks amazing OMG!!!!!!!!11 Tell all these fake a** pop acts to take dirt naps the f****** epic Queen of Soul is back and I already know the album is f****** fiya I cannot wait 2 hear it . Imo she the only artist that can make good albums back 2 back 2 back like all of her s*** iz claasics and she has actual talent . but becuze her boobs and p**** aint hanging out and she aint throw chairs threw windows or do a dance routine it may get over looked lmao. But im here for Mary shes amazing and cant no one & i mean no one can f*** with her .
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
This is a Dirty Money song. It’s not hers, she’s just featured on the remix : /
@ MICHELLE OF COURSE BEY IS NO COMP, & THE TRICKS WHO STAN 4 HER KNOW WHO THE REAL QUEEN IS QUEEN MARY
@BF I hear you !!! HAHAHAAH
Mary can NEVER flop! I laugh at that statement. A lot of artist cant even think about selling over 300,000 in a first week (Chris Brown to name a few) , but its the same idiots saying she will flop, that is also saying Chris Brown, (or Rhianna,Keyshia Cole,Keri Hilson, etc) is the ish! I dont get it! What makes an artist HOTT today? Your personal preference, record sales, or music awards? Just like your own artist, and the one’s you dont like leave off your tongue! Get it MARY! You the baddest, thats why they stay talking about you!
THIS IS NOT HER FIRST SINGLE. THIS IS MORE LIKE A TEASER LIKE SHE DID FOR MJB DA MVP,STRONGER AND HOOK SHE BRING THE TEASER OUT JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW SHE WORKING ON HER CD AND LET EVERY ONE KNOW IAM BACK B**** SO LOOK OUT. I HEAR 4 SONG THAT GOING TO BE ON THE CD IT SOUND LIKE SHE TAKING US BACK TO THE 90S WITH LIL TODAYS BEAT TO IT THE SONGS SOUND GOOD NAME OF THE CD MY LIFE II JOURNEY CONTINUES DONT SHE MAY CHANGE IT CAUSE THE LAST TWO CD WAS CALL THAT AND SHE CHANGE IT THE LAST MIN HER UK CD ALL WAYS HAVE 2 OR 3 FAST SONG ON THE CD LIKE I CANT WAIT AND FEVER
This song is hot for real, and the video is hot as well. Mary always giving it to the crowd, people can say what they want it wil be a hit, how about the album will be a hit and I will be one of the first in NC to purchase the album. LOL Mary is an all time favorite not just with the older crowd but the younger as well. My daughter is 15 and she loves Mary J. Blije, keeping it positive is the way. Mary still has some Thug in her and that is what I like, GIVE IT TO’EM MARY!!!!! CAN’T WAIT FOR THE CD TO COME OUT!!!! WOOOOOO
Mary is the ultimate, who has nothing to prove.can’t. Wait for the album.Mary fan for15yr’s this. Super talented icon can do no wrong. Mary all the way!!!!!!!
