Mary J. Blige has made a career out of keeping it all sorts of real and it’s a trajectory she continues on new song ‘Know.’
Produced by Sounwave and co-written by Blige alongside the likes of Chi Coney and Blue June, the jam finds MJB in reflective mode.
Over a breezy throwback beat, the R&B royal reminisces on the hardships and hurdles she’s had to overcome – that women en masse have to overcome – and celebrates their collective survival.
Take a listen below…
We’re enjoying the steady flow of content Mary is feeding fans with as she presses on her ‘Royalty Tour’ with Nas – ‘Know’ being no exception.
With its rich R&B production, resonant lyrical content, and soulful vocal, we see this garnering solid summer spins on the Urban A/C format.
As for what’s to come, we’re buzzed – especially with Mary having signed a new deal with Republic Records.
‘Know’ doesn’t immediately play like an “I’m back bop.” So we envisage this, like Nas collab ‘Thriving,’ being more so a means of tiding fans over until album time. Whatever the case, we’re excited.
MJB is bring the fashions on these single covers. Come thru Mary!!
Beautiful Cover!
She looks good since she dumped that baggage and trash!!!
Nobody buys her songs, but she keeps releasing album after album, song after song, how is that possible?
Why hasn’t her record label dropped her?
Her last memorable song was be without u.
Do you want her to just quit and disappear? I don’t understand why people leave such hateful comments. What is your purpose?
Because he is a miserable f a g g o t
Shut hateful b****
Memorable to YOU maybe!! Mary has EIGHT multiplatinum and three gold albums. Only two of her albums have underperformed and that’s only because the sales climate has changed significantly. With 27 years under her belt, and consistent hits and success, whyyyy would the label drop her sis? Make that make sense.
Because she runs her own record label (Matriarch Records) which was distributed through Geffen Records (now Republic Records). She owns her own masters so gets a much larger cut of her sales/streaming revenue. Her albums dont sell much but she gets ample airplay and streaming revenue, endorsements, sampling and publishing revenue and then also all her acting ventures too. Together it adds to her brand as an entertainer and that’s why she is still making coins. Stay pressed… and take a seat or two
You sound sad and lonely get a life and better energy!
that’s why your in a room alone writing hateful comments
Ate actually signed to a new label dumb ass same label as drake and Taylor Swift u mad hater ????
Go head Mary,tell the truth
Damn…will she EVER sing about something else?
Will you EVER discover the reason for your existence? Tell you what – instead of trying to find out why don’t you just stop your existence right now and quit trying. Like GTFOH who told you to listen to her music – you’re so weak. ?
