Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige

Divas unite. Mary J. Blige and Beyoncé speak up for their fellow ladies on “Love a Woman,” a ’90s-inspired duet off Mary’s 10th album My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act I), in stores Monday. The R&B songstresses showcase their powerful pipes as they tell their men what they want from a relationship.

Sean Garrett explained how the soulful collaboration came together. “I initially did the record for Beyoncé and then we just felt it would be an even bigger record with Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige,” the producer-songwriter told staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud. “Both these women are two iconic female figures in the world, and what would be better than putting those two on a record? We felt it would be a really iconic move.”

Is the divas’ duet worthy of the hype? Listen and sound off below.
