Mary J. Blige

Soul titan (and Bronx woman, lest we forget) Blige has shifted more than 50 million albums since Puffy first dubbed her "Queen of Ghetto Love" back in ’92. Expect to hear slow jams from new record Strength of a Woman, a break-up album inspired by her real-life dramatic split from her husband and manager Martin “Kendu” Isaacs, that's much more interested in self-empowerment and moving on then hashing out the details of the ongoing divorce proceedings.
