New Song: Mary J. Blige – ‘Christmas Without You’ [Produced by Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins]

‘Be Without You‘ belter Mary J. Blige doesn’t want to spend another ‘Christmas Without You,’ as revealed by the heartwarming new holiday tune produced by Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins.

“The autumn leaves have fallen / And the winter’s calling / I wrap a gift or two / Just sitting, waiting here for you / Sooner or later I’ll need…your loving arms to hold me / God I miss us / What is Christmas love without you,” she sings on the David ‘D1’ Grant Jr.-co-produced cut.

Released Friday (October 25), the yuletide tune – which comes as a reunion for Blige and Jerkins as he’s previously contributed production to her hit albums ‘The Breakthrough’ (2005) and ‘Share My World’ (1997) – drops just weeks ahead of her highly anticipated new studio album ‘Gratitude.’

The latest festive offering from the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, ‘Without’ drops just a year after the 10th anniversary reissue of her first holiday album – 2013’s ‘A Mary Christmas.’
