Mary J. Blige 'Stronger' Than Ever on New Album
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Mary J. Blige has been through the storm and is singing about it on her new album.
The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul will release her 9th studio album Stronger on November 24. The first single, “The One,” features Drake and can be seen in a new AT&T ad airing now.
“The album represents who and what I am right now,” MJB said on set of the commercial. “I’m a stronger human being after all the growing pains. It’s about life, love, change, strength—mostly really knowing who you are and being confident in that.”
The follow-up single will be the title track, “Stronger,” which can also be found on the soundtrack to More Than a Game. The documentary about NBA star LeBron James’ high school days in Akron, Ohio, opens October 2 in select theaters, while the soundtrack arrives September 22.
A version of “Stronger” featuring vocals from Chris Brown leaked last month. Listen below.
