Mary J. Blige - MY LIFE II (1st Single "25/8" )

Off her upcoming album " My Life II : The Journey Continues "

It's funky, I love it ! Sounds like a Jackson 5 song..

Your thoughts?

She's not breaking any new ground, but it's her most engaging and focused single since 2007's "Work That".

I really love the song even if I think her voice is too loud, I'll get used to it.

YAS Mary for the live instruments.

YAS for the sample.

YAS for the motown vibe!

I hear more Jacksons than Jackson 5 though yet I hear the Motown sound.

I like it, just hope she stays away from Lil Wayne this time around.

Actually out of all of the songs I've heard so far from this upcoming album, this one sounds the less contrived and forced. It's definitely her most focused single in a while and the cover looks HOT!

Am I going to pick this album up when it hits stores next month, probably no...lol

But the track is okay.... she needs to stop screaming at the begininng of the song...and start her rage towards the end/bridge as usually does...

I've seen far worse from other more seasoned performers.

Hate it. sad I like "Old School Mary" better than the formulaic, slick and overly produced stuff she's been putting out post "Breakthrough."

Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up.
