The R&B veteran is currently working on her 10th studio album, having already put in studio time with producer Danja and songwriter Kevin Cossom. “Everything that I’ve done feels really good,” Danja previously told Rap-Up TV. “Great tracks, funky, you can dance to it. Some is a hybrid of 808s with very heartfelt, soulful piano lines on top of them. You dancing and you in the club, but you kinda feeling a certain way at the same time. Very emotional topics and kinda classic Mary in 2011.”
