Mary J. Blige drops one of her best singles, notes "The UK is a better place to make music than the US". She's absolutely correct.
While Mary J. Blige might be the undisputed Queen of R&B, she's been struggling with producing a smash single for several years now. In fact, her last big hit came in early 2008 (from her 2007 album Growing Pains). Even that single, "Just Fine", failed to become much of a memorable hit as well. Since then, she's released four more studio albums: 2009's Stronger With Every Tear, 2011's My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1), 2013's A Mary Christmas, and 2014's Think Like A Man Too (Music from and Inspired by the Film), all but the last of which became strong sellers. Still, none of those albums ended up producing any top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 or Hot 50 singles on the CDS Music Chart Hot 50.
To seemingly make up for the lack of successful singles, Mary J. Blige has quickly released "Right Now" as the lead single from her forthcoming 13th studio album, Mary J. Blige: The London Sessions, due out this November. The album will contain exactly 10 songs, all of which were written and recorded in London across the summer of this year.
"Right Now" was produced by Disclosure and co-written by both Jimmy Napes and Sam Smith. Other collaborators include Naughty Boy and Emeli Sandé on the track called "Pick Me Up". Jimmy Napes and Sam Smith collaborated with Blige yet again, on another track called "Therapy". The other 7 tracks on the album have yet to be announced.
"Right Now" will be released sometime this month as a single on iTunes.
