After the generally positive response received from her single ‘25/8‘, Hip Hop Soul Queen Mary J. Blige has confirmed the name of its follow up, a Rico Love produced cut named ‘Mr. Wrong‘.
Lifted from her upcoming ‘My Life II‘ album, due out November 21st, Love gave further details just hours ago and explained why although he wrote the song for Mary, it is in many ways a song about himself.
More information below…
Speaking to RU, he admitted:
I wrote it because in many ways I am Mr. Wrong. It’s an extremely soulful song that expresses the true level of love that a woman can have for a man who simply is no good for her.
Responsible for five of the album’s tracks, he went onto reveal what fans can expect from it:
Basically I just tried to channel that classic Mary that we love, the ‘Not Gon’ Cry’ and ‘I’m Goin’ Down’—that type of emotion, along with just some fly, bounce Mary, the ‘You Remind Me’ vibe. I was trying to connect with that because that’s something that made me fall in love with her.
With ’25/8′ seemingly unable to provide Ms. Mary with a chart position worthy of a clap, snap or applause, there are some who question how its supporting album will fare upon its release.
However, taking her previous LP’s into account, Blige has always been and will hopefully remain and album based artist, often moving more copies than single led artists who though enjoy success on the Billboard Hot 100 fail to do so on the Billboard 200.
Either way, with or without a smash hit single, ‘My Life II‘ is destined to outsell Rihanna‘s release which is due out on the same day.
For as much as her Navy would like to deny it, if Ms. Fenty failed to achieve a #1 with ‘Loud‘ even with the aid of ‘Only Girl In The World‘ and ‘What’s My Name‘, the chances of scoring a number 1 with this album are very slim.
Almost as slim as a Destiny’s Child reunion tour occurring with all original members present.
Yes, including Farrah.

LOVE MARY, WAS LISTENING TO 25/8 THIS MORNING!! CAN’T WAIT!!
CHECK ME OUT @ YESYOURGAY.B*******.COM
Don’t get me wrong – I love MJB and I think she can do no wrong but this website is SO bias! “Positive response from 25/8”? That song TANKED! Sam puts Kelly Rowland, Beyonce and MJB in pedestals and give them positive feedback regardless, while humiliates other artists despite them having a much stronger chart positions. This website makes me laugh.
The song “25/8” was just sent to Radio Monday. The single is currently the most added song to Urban AC radio.
The Quiet before the storm. She’s coming…
Mary can do no wrong in my book!!! She looks and sounds fabulous, and I know this album will be everything.
Y the hell is there somebody on here talking about rihanna and beyonce!!!! no one is talking about either 1 of them!! stick to the subject….MJB!
@Johnny you have no idea what your talking about. The song was just sent to radio this week for official release. Mary has had buzz surrounding 25/8 since it was released online and especially after her LIVE(vocal) performance on Good Morning America. Check the radio spins before you start stating something tanked. The song was also in the U.S R&B top 10 on itunes in less than 24 hours after her GMA performance. Video just shot and the 3rd most added song to radio. The queen is getting ready to creep up on all y’all assess
I LOVE MARY J BLIGE she is the QUEEN OF R&B NO DENYING THAT,BUT I THINK SHE MAY NEED TO DIVORCE THE KENDU BECAUSE SHE IS REALLY AGING. GET RID OF THE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE MARY…………

idk all i can say is mary j blige sucks c**** in hell i’m not hear for a r*** victim It’s all about Rihanna wait till that new album drops…
MJB is HIGHLY respected in the industry by her peers and people outside her genre. Rihanna is really just a joke. She has no talent and no one respects her or sees her as a real artist. She’s just a puppet created by a record label to cater to and exploit the bad taste and ignorance of 15 year olds who don’t know any better for the time being. Mary will annihilate Rihanna when they go head to head.
Mary J Blige goin sell more cd than rihanna so kill that noise!
This granny is always recycling her old song…
P.S:throw that blonde wig away plz
P.S:throw that blonde wig away plz

Why? So Rihanna can rummage through Mary’s trash to steal it?
MAry needs to start this project over. My Life II is not living up to its predecessor. She needs to retool this one a bit before releasing. All of her singles sound like songs that did not make it on her last album. If she releases this with Rihanna she will be slayed by Rihanna..smh
@we found love
B**** sit both wrists!
Rihanna is now known as an INTERNATIONAL W****…LOL! Keep up the great work R******! You and your worthless pets!
@we found love
*B**** SLIT BOTH WRISTS & SIT ON A POINTED STICK”

FLOP WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR N****** MARY IS HARLEM WHEN RIHANNA IS HOLLLYWOOD HAHAHAHAAHAH HATERS F*** U NIGGGGERS
AND YES RIHANNA IS BLACK BUT SHE ACTS WHITE SO SHE IS NOT A N***** LIKE MARY EBT GURL
They really need to beef up moderation on this blog.
Anyways, Mary is far superior to “white acting” Rihanna, whose music, style and whole personality is the definition of “corny.”
You see, Mary has talent, an superior catalog, a history of number 1 albums, and is an icon. Rihanna is a generic bimbo who can’t sing, dance, or perform worth a damn. Her only talent is fitting cheap nylon Ronald McDonald wigs over that large head of hers…oh, and getting her ass beat by Chris Brown.
Mary stans ignore those stupid ass rihanna stans !
Thanks to Monica, all of these R&B singers are trying to go back to their roots and I’m not even mad.
I am so excited about this album, like I was with 4 and Watch The Throne. 25/8 is a great single and I can’t wait till I hear more music from Mary J.
Regardless if what she puts out , really no one but the black demographic is checking for her music!! Again contrary to what most of you think is good, this computer style, hood s*** sound she’s going for is really old! I wish she would just make an organic r&b album! It seems to me that everytime she works with these. Atlanta producers she falls short of her real musical potential! !! She really needs better to people working on her albums. Her 2006 album was really good, buying want to make an album that really brings out her voice!!
Sorry on a touch screen
Love me some MJB! However, I’m not feeling her new music.
Funny how some of the same ridiculous, offensive drivel is being parroted under multiple names. Trying to make your position seem more popular than it is with sock puppets is pathetic. Those guilty of it know who they are. If you’re going to try and pull a fast one by posting under different aliases, though, then at least attempt to change up your writing style so you won’t look so transparent. Silly ass neglected kids playing around on the computer. TGJ should require people to register with a verifiable email address before they are able to comment.
That being said, I expect Mary to come out ahead of Rihanna. Personally speaking, I own most of Mary’s discography, but I haven’t bought a single Rihanna CD and I don’t see that changing at this point. I don’t like her “music” or recognize her “talent.”
MJB is light years ahead of Rihanna. To even compare them is silly. Like comparing a T-Bone steak to a kids meal.
I love Mary J and will definately buy her album.
TGJ STAFF, FARAH IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE AN ORIGINAL MEMEMBER OF DC SO GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!!!!!! SHE WAS ONLY HIRE FOR A SHORT WHILE TO SING BACK UP …………………!!!!!!!!!!
