The Queen of Hip Hop and R&B is back with confidence and an optimistic outlook on life. Her chart topping, multiple Grammy winning album, “The Breakthrough” was marked by poignant lyrics and melodies swooning with pain, reflection, and hope. If “The Breakthrough” was the catharsis for Mary, the new album, “Growing Pains” will be the journey into her new walk in life.
“Just Fine” is the first and new single off the her upcoming album, and is a public testimony that she has gone through the pain, reflected on it, reconciled with it, and that now, she is just fine.
Here’s the premiere of her new video for “Just Fine”.
Mary J. Blige has sold over 50 million records worldwide, 31 charting hits that’s hit Top 40 radio, and 7 multiplatinum selling albums. Coming off of winning 9 Billboard Awards and 3 Grammy Awards for her most recent album, “The Breakthrough”, Mary’s coming hot with the newest song, “Just Fine” from her forthcoming album, “Growing Pains”.
You would think that after becoming the legend and icon she is, she would take a break, but for Mary, music is her life, her passion and her gift, and she went back into the studio off the huge year she had last year culminating with the Grammys.
“Just Fine” is a certainly a step forward from her songs about heartbreak, pain and sorrow, to confidence, encouragement, empowerment, and refinement. Set to an up-tempo beat, nicely accentuated with staccato drums and cymbals, and beautiful vocals, it’s hard for anyone to resist this song. By the end of the song, you’ll be singing the hook, “just fine, fine, fine, fine…”
Get ready for some feel good music.
