Mary J. Blige is baking new music and may be ready to serve it up sooner than expected.
As reported, the Queen of Hip-Hop/Soul was spotted in the studio with Kehlani. And while the fruit of that union that yet to be bared, MJB has previewed another new jam.
Details below…
In her holiday message to fans, the singer shared a snippet of a track named ‘Bounce Back.’
Check it out…
Sounds hot and more importantly resonant with her present predicament. She’s been through a highly publicised divorce, but has – in recent months – bounced back both personally and professionally. Case in point her Golden Globes nomination for ‘Mudbound.’
Could recent album ‘Strength Of A Woman’ be her ‘Charmbracelet’ before her imminent ‘Emancipation’? The answer seems to be around the corner!
Come thru Mary #DRTFRSH
Lmao! TGJ you funny. I sense a little shade there but I get the analogy. Like “Strength of a woman”, Mariahs charmbracelet was underrated. I don’t think MJB will get that type of comeback in today’s climate with another good album like Mariahs Emanicipation. People beg to differ but music just isn’t selling like that anymore. The times are different. Only a select few are barely selling and even for them, their numbers are mediocre. Now if you want to talk ratings then she may just get her critically acclaimed… The majority (if not all) her albums are.
I was initially concerned after hearing the background music in the opening, however, after listening to end part, it sounds like a solid song from MJB. I wouldn’t say first single level, but definitely an anchor 3rd or 4th single such as Love No Limit, Sweet Thang, Missing You or Seven Days.
What I would like to hear from MJB is some classic HipHop Soul (Real Love, I Can Love You, ect) but I am not sure if radio and today’s consumer will allow that. Never the less, I long for my ole school MJB…plays “Changes I’ve Been Going Through”.
She has a slew of support and work venues. And millions of fans. Maybe now it will show. She’s on top of it. I think she has the right people now. Excellent A&R. She is blessed.
I love it.This is a great song Good job Mary
