Mary J. Blige is certainly not resting on her laurels.

With the Academy Award nominations for ‘Mudbound’ behind her the Queen of Hip Hop Soul continues to conquer new territory in the world of acting, this time lending her voice to the animated feature film ‘Sherlock Gnomes.’

Having big shoes to fill as its predecessor, ‘Gnomeo & Juliet,’ raked up $194 million at the box office, tuck in below to hear Blige’s contribution to ‘Sherlock Gnomes’ and get a taste of what you can expect from the flick ahead of its March 23 premiere:

Blige fills out an all-star cast that also features the likes of Johnny Depp, Maggie Smith, Ozzy Osbourne, Michael Caine, Stephen Merchant, James McAvoy, Emily Blunt and more.

‘Gnomes’ hits the big screen just weeks after it was announced the songstress will also be featured in Netflix’s forthcoming live action comic book series, ‘The Umbrella Academy’ (click here to read more on that).
