Mary J. Blige‘s ‘Strength of a Woman’ era is finally fully under way months after blessing fans with bangers ‘Thick of It’ and ‘U+Me (Love Lesson).’
Just a day after revealing its regal official art work, the Hip Hop Soul monarch took to Twitter to unveil the set’s long-awaited track list. A 14-track affair, the Grammy winning songstress has called upon the likes Kanye West, Missy Elliott, and more of some of Hip Hop’s heaviest hitters to assist her return to Billboard 200 over 2 years since her last run with ‘The London Sessions.’
Curious to see who else answered the Queen’s call? Tuck in below to see the full list:
‘Strength’ is due in stores April 28th.
Ayyyeee!!! The return of The Queen!!!! Cmon now!! #Reign!!! ???
Prince Charles from RVA shoutout to him
Kaytranada…that could be interesting.
I’m so sick of this ugly ass bowl cut wig she has been rocking. She hasn’t even released enough singles or promo for this album. This won’t sell well because there was no album campaign behind this project. The buzz on her divorce has died and no one cares about that anymore, so she is only going to let her ex and former manager win by presenting low album sales, while rocking this unappealing wig
Poor you. Must be a fan of the new music. You see Mary has a solid fan base. She doesn’t need the gimmicks and all of that. She was doing shows off one single. She also has a deal with Apple. The day of her release, you can expect to see her all over the Apple landing page….that’s what’s gonna sell her album.
Mary J Blige is a vocal beast & my song “Give Me You!” Still gives me joy to hear!!
Awwwww come one mar mar lls i cant to hear this album.
I LOVE Mary J. Blige! I have been a fan since the very beginning. I do wish that this album was released in December while the mass media attention focusing on her divorce, tour and THICK OF IT single were standing at feverish pitch. HOWEVER, Mary has a very loyal and embedded fan base who will support her material without all of the bells & whistles. Glad to see that the album isn’t drowned in music produced by people like Kanye West. Mary is at her best when it’s simply her raw vocals laid across a traditional R&B beat. Mary does not need to rely on all of the overdone HIP-HOP samples or heavy drums. Actually, I hate that Kanye and Missy are even featured on this project. Im being honest. Mary J. Blige rises to the occasion when her music is simply laced by smooth melodies. I LOVE HER and will totally be supporting this long awaited project.
Im no Mary fan, But I’m glad she is returning to the scene.
Wonderful
Vocally she slays. Love her and respect her. I’ll get it.
