MARY SHOWS MAD STRENGTH

Capitol's Mary J Blige is the undisputed Queen of R&B and particularly heartbreak anthems—everyone knows how powerfully the singer channels personal struggles into her music— it's the bond that connects her to fans so intimately. So given the current upheaval in Blige’s personal life, her new studio album Strength of a Woman is certain to take on an extra emotional significance. Due this Friday 4/28, the record is already powered by back-to-back #1 singles, “Thick of It” and “U + Me (Love Lesson).”

First single “Thick of It” broke airplay records, spending 16 weeks at #1 on the Urban AC chart, while her follow-up “U + Me (Love Lesson)” was this week’s number #1 Urban AC record. Mary's third single, called “Love Yourself’” featuring Kanye West, is out now and heading up the charts.

Mary, who's managed by Maverick men Greg Thompson and Larry Rudolph, will be on Ellen Tuesday (4/25) followed by an unprecedented Facebook Live chat this Friday. There is also a big partnership with the artist and VH1/MTV for her new documentary Mary J. Blige Strength of a Woman: A Studio Documentary, that will premiere next Tuesday 5/2 on VH1. Check out the trailer here.

On 5/2, the same day her documentary premieres on TV, Mary will do a huge album release event for radio with Angie Martinez at the iHeart Theater, which will be broadcast live on Power 105 New York and across the iHeartRadio network.

Rumors that Greg will be doing a karaoke rendition of Mary's What's the 411? in its entirety on Facebook live couldn't be confirmed at presstime.
