It's been 15 years since Mary J. Blige first burst on the scene with her fierce, full-throated singing voice and rough-and-tumble persona.
Since then, she's evolved into one of our best R &B performers, softening the edges (just a bit), but digging deeper, too. And her voice has never sounded better. Hear for yourself later this month when Blige's first new album in two years, "Growing Pains," is released. She's got a hot production team working with her, including Tricky, Jazze Pha, and The Neptunes, and she duets with Ludacris and Usher. "Just Fine" and "Work That " have already been released as singles.
