Die "Queen of Hip Hop Soul" Mary J. Blige veröffentlicht am 18. Dezember ihr neustes Studioalbum "Growing Pains" über Geffen Records.

Neben ihrer ersten Single "Just Fine", die ein Sample aus Michael Jacksons "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" enthält, gibt es noch 18 weitere Tracks, die unter anderem von den Neptunes, Timbaland, Just Blaze, Ne-Yo, The Dream und Tricky Stewart produziert worden sind.

Mary J. Blige über ihr neustes Werk:
"So many people are like, 'I'm perfect.' I'm so imperfect, that's why I'm able to let everything out and let people see everything. 'Cause I'm just a mess like every other person that's a mess out there. And it's going to take probably a lifetime to get to a point in my life where I'm like, 'Oh, I'm perfect.' I don't think that will ever happen. So as long as I'm a human being and I'm not perfect, I'm able to say I'm having some growing pains. Because in order to sustain where you are once you made such a breakthrough that everyone is looking at you, now everyone is like, 'Ooh, is she gonna make a mistake?' Yes, I'm going to make a mistake. Yes, I'm still gonna do things. And that's what Growing Pains is about, it's about finally not whining about the pain, Mary J. Blige, and accepting the pain that comes with growing."
