With the release of Mary J. Blige‘s ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues’ inching ever nearer, the project’s latest single, ‘Mr Wrong’, has surfaced.
Check out the Drake assisted cut after the jump…
Sigh.
The track has a weird duality in that it manages to be both classic Mary, while also somewhat of a snoozer; presenting a compelling question of whether “classic Mary” ticks the box in the current climate.
Cuts such as Kelly Rowland‘s ‘Motivation’ show that R&B can still be fresh and exciting in an era where Electro-Pop dominates the landscape. Yet, beyond, Drake’s opening bars, this drags. And, though becoming (only slightly) more interesting instrumentally on Ms. Blige’s second verse, this strikes as being little else than album filler.
Still, who knows how this’ll pan out. For, collectively Blige and Drake remain two of Urban music’s biggest names.

Follow me on Twitter! Amazing song! LOVE THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE 2! – http://adf.ly/1IF2E
why drake go off? lol I can’t wait for this album to finally drop. Mary ain’t playin!
Mary is the truth and does no wrong. Can’t wait for her to destroy Rihanna on release day. Can’t wait!
Pure Hottness Go Mary
Mr Wrong get along so well…SO TRUE UNFORTUNATELY :S
I meant ” me and Mr Wrong” *
The song sounds good to me. I expected a huge powerballad when I read the title and heard about the lyrics. But it’s nice. Better than ’25/8′ though.
this is amazing
25/8 is still climbing …………
Cant wait for the Beyonce feature
Wow, again instead of commenting of MJB’s album, songs…
Haters are just focus on another… lol
Yall stay pressed
The Song is Trending .
“MY LIFE II : THE JOURNEY CONTINUES (Act 1)” IN STORES NOVEMBER 21th
Amazing song… Rico Love needs to stop recycling his beats though. Sounds a lil bit like Motivation.
MARY J please pushed back…
-rihanna already have a number1 on hot 100….and i dont see you on any charts
-rihanna+beyonce+gaga+britney..release album and DVD this day
please mary-j dont let the shame fall on you…..I BEG YOU
I like this, but I always have a hard time fully getting into something from Mary when she sounds like she’s singing material meant for another artist. Overall it definitely seems like a topic she’d take on, but I just keep hearing a Brandy thing going on with her flow lately. It might just be me. Still, this track is decent.

anybody notice the instrumental sounds just like kelly’s motivation
“Mr. Wrong” is the 5th worldwide trending topic & “MaryJ” is 8 in the U.S.
THIS BEAT MAKES ME THINK OF “MOTIVATION” . . KELLY DID IT BETTER, SORRY! ! ! ! ! ! BUT STILL LOVE MARY
Think that Maybe you need to listen to it a few more times- Perhaps you might wanna change ya review a little once you have – Just My opinion
i just cant with this woman. she seems so wrong to me.
nd really……’my life 2 vol 1′ WTF is that? u releasing a library, mary? gtfo.
Booooooooooooooooooooooring. Sleeps….
I actually like this….Drake definately sounds “Placed” on this track. And it does sound like “Motivation” but It will definately get radio play!
Drake makes this track soooo boring. She could have done without him. Seriously……….
:/
This if fire!!! Yassss QUEEN MJB!!! Bow down bishes!!!
Oh please. Fresh? Motivation was a basic rnb song that follows in line with all the other sexed up songs.
The beginning and the end have me, but the middle..Maybe Drakes part should be put in the middle somewhere to break up the …the slow consistency. It would be a nice pace changer, there we go!
Very 90’s R&B. Hmmmm…
Don’t think it will pick up.
Mary should have stopped releasing songs after “Be Without You”, that song was the TRUTH…I am still waiting for something even remotely close to that song.
*crosses fingers* Hopefully the Beyonce feature will be the business.
@REF rico love didnt make the beat. JIm Jonsin did.
This sounds like Daddys Little Girl by J cole.. You can literally replace the words and it goes along with it
Mary get some better producers and writers!
We need to hear you go in!!!
MARY HAS DONE IT ALL AND HAS GRAMMY’S IN HIPHOP, R&B, POP, ROCK AND GOSPEL TO PROVE IT. SHE IS QUEEN AND DOESN’T HAVE TO SHOCK OR “GO-IN” FOR ANYONE. THOSE WHO WASN’T IN PAMPERS WHEN THE FIRST MY LIFE DROPPED WILL KNOW THAT THIS IS THROWBACK TO THAT ERA. THIS SONG IS PURE FIYAH!!! WHAT OTHER ARTIST CAN TREND WORLDWIDE (REACHING TOP 3) AFTER 20 YRS IN THE BIZ??? MARY WAS HERE BEFORE A F***** “MOTIVATION”, WHICH BTW SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE “MR. WSRONG”. MARY GOT B****** SCARED CUZ SHE’S ABOUT TO SNATCH WIGS WITH UPCOMING CLASSIC
