Mary J. Blige has been hard at work on new music with Kanye West.
Details below…
The set is expected to rock retailers in September and is currently being mixed.
Fortunately, Mary’s supporters will be pleased to learn that Eddie Fourcell, her A&R, has spoken openly about what they can expect from the album.

A collaboration between West and Blige would mark their first and would follow the release of the rapper’s work with her heir apparent Keyshia Cole.

A Mary and Keyshia collab would be nice.
You WOULD Stan for 2 artist that write and sing songs about your unfortunate life.
QUEEN! I wasn’t feeling her last album though.
@Arianator and no felt #20Kie either, soooooo
David, you’re OBSESSED with me. Go ahead and change my username again sis. You’re pathetic Kii.
Ki @jackie u think rihnavy is david?
Idk. I can’t think of any other reason why he keeps changing my username to random s***. I should make a negative comment in the Rita Ora post and watch my name get changed
This is good but God I though her R. Kelly were gonna do a joint album like Babyface and Toni.
YESSSSSSS! I need her to come strong. I like the potential that this collaboration has. Give us some good ole R&B/Hip Hop/Soul.
Looks like a crazy idea on paper, but it actually insight work. I expect to hear songs like “Through the Wire” and “Jesus Walks”.
I’m not so sure about this… Kanye played an instrumental role with the direction of Brandy’s underwhelming ‘Afrodisiac’ album. If this MJB album is going to sound anything like that, they can keep it. ☹️
That was far from underwhelming. If you’re referencing the specific songs he produced (I.e. TalkAboutOurLove or WhereYouWannaBe) then I see your point because those were the weakest cuts on the project, but other than that the album is solid!
No Mary don’t do it he hasn’t been hot since the early ’00 he was hungry for it then now he’s gotten lazy and it shows in his work plus he’ll probably just rant in his part about something no one cares about.
You Remind Me is one of my favorite songs EVER! Nostalgia in audio form! I’ve been a fan since 1992…Mary’s albums are on another level sonically when it comes to song for song cohesivness…that being said, I only buy her albums when the ENTIRE album is hot…hopefully she delivers an album’s worth of great songs! But even if she doesn’t, I hope she tours! Love her!
I been waiting for these two to work together for years.. I remember sayn 5 years ago, Kanye West & David Foster should produce Mary next album. David had Mary singing on Oprah with Andre Bocelli. David Foster is more of an classic producer. And Kanye West HipHop & R&B… Just to have both them working on a Mary J Blige album would have been ✨DOpe✨ Classic meet street
You are ON POINT! David Foster! That would be sonically gorgeous…and David could help mix the Kanye records too…Grammy potential would be crazy!
I only know her one song “be without you” and her “rap” in the Touch it remix
If you’re keeping it 100, then I am jealous of you! Chile, you better get on Spotify or youtube, then go buy My Life! I would love to hear My Life for the first time again!
100 🙂
I grew up to Celine Dion, korean Artists that my parents listened to, Enya, Whitney (you know how them Asians love her) and Mariah. Didn’t know about MJB untill that song when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade
That’s cool, cause SlayEnya, Miss Celine, Miss Whitney and Slayriah are the absolute truth! JOHNVIDAL would love reading this lol…and make sure you listen to My Life by Mary Slay Blige! Any Asian artists you recommend I listen to?
Super duper cool idea!
She might need to call Diddy back too.
Can’t wait for her to come out with something.
All I need in my living life is ANTI Pt. 2, J Cole new album and Tinashe new album!!
HASHTAG: #IamLIVING 😉
It would be nice for Mary and Lauryn to work together again
This is an interesting pairing. I’m here for it. Kanye’s raps have gone to sh*t but his production is still on point. Since Kanye doesn’t make music for the charts, I hope Mary doesn’t “try to appeal to a younger audience” but keeps it about the music. I’m even here for some experimentation.
Side note: Ratchet Cole is NOT MJB’s heir apparent. She’s replaceable, as seen in K.Michelle.
I love love MJB but she’s in the same boat as Alicia Keys. She took up with a married man as well and her career has suffered ever since
Mary’s Kendu or whatever it is was a married man? I never heard that in the music news but I heard about Alicia Keys home wrecking Mashonda indeed.
Keyshia Cole her heir apparent? LMAO that’s a joke. She was NEVER heir to Mary’s throne, or anyone else’s for that matter. She isn’t even on K. Michelle’s level right now.
Good for Mary j bilge
