R&B songstress Mary J. Blige announced earlier this week that she’ll be dropping her 13 album on April 28 called Strength of a Woman and just unveiled her new track with Kanye West from the album called “Love Yourself.”
The album’s lead off single and video “Thick Of It” has already been commanding radio’s attention as fans sense Mary will be returning to her break-up hits that made the world fall in love with her as she currently goes through her divorce from her husband Kendu Isaacs.
Strength of a Woman also finds Mary working with producer Hit-Boy and Jazmine Sullivan as well as DJ Khaled, Quavo of the Migos and Missy Elliott.
The R&B diva also stopped by New York radio station Hot 97 and discussed her new album and the drama with her divorce with Angie Martinez. Speaking on some of her martial woes and what caused the breakup, Mary said,
“The overwhelming disrespect. You’re way too familiar and you’re disrespecting me and I can sense that I’m not what you want anymore because now you’re starting to throw questions around like, ‘Ok, why don’t you cook?’ ‘I haven’t been cooking,’ or ‘Why don’t you wear your hair like this?’ I never wore my hair like this, so what’s up with you? You start to realize that this man doesn’t want you and he’s just gone all the time. You’re by yourself in the relationship. When you realize you’re by yourself in the relationship and you’re just suffering through it, now it’s time to do some investigating.”
