Mary J. Blige Wishes U A Mary Christmas
It’s only July, but Mary J. Blige is getting ready for a soulful Christmas. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul has announced plans for her first-ever holiday album.
A Mary Christmas, due in October on Matriarch/Verve/Interscope Records, features her soulful interpretation of classic holiday tunes.
Blige has dabbled in Christmas music in the past including duets with Andrea Bocelli (“What Child Is This?”), Rod Stewart (“We Three Kings”), and Angie Martinez (“Christmas in the City”).

Not a very cheery cover for such a festive season! Unless she is singing as the biblical Mary who is getting turned away as she is ready to give birth to the Christ child, and she got that depressing My Life vibe.. I hope it got a Rick James samp | |

Perfect tie in for the forthcoming holiday movie Black Nativity she is in this November. Nick Ashford was someone I greatly admired, had the honor of knowing, and was the real-life inspiration for Cowboy Curtis' hair. RIP Nick. - Pee Wee Herman | |

I think (hope) Mary has sense enough to go the traditional route with this album and not inject techno/hip-hop trends into holiday music. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

When I think of Christmas I think of happiness, cheer and smiling faces. She looks sad and depressed as hell. I hope this is not the real cover. | |

I don't think she looks sad or depressed at all. I think, if anything, she looks reflective. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

To be honest, I will be copping this. I just wish that Tony Dofat, Mark Morales, and Mark C. Rooney were producing. | |
