Mary J. Blige’s Album Cover Shows Her ‘Stronger’ Than Ever
Mary J. Blige is just about the prettiest sad person you’ll ever find on an album cover. She looks older and wiser on this minimalist cover, but she sure has aged gracefully. (Check out Soul Bounce’s Month of Mary retrospective to flashback to all of MJB’s ever-changing looks.) Mary’s Stronger Wtih Each Tear comes out December 21, so make sure to pick it up, or sad Mary will be making that puppy dog face at you forever. For now, watch Mary tear it up, X-mas style, as she accompanies legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli on “What Child Is This” on yesterday’s Oprah Holiday Music Extravaganza. Yes, everything that happens on Oprah from now until her very last show is news. (Clip after the jump.)
Sure, it’s no “Someday at Christmas,” but if Mary wants to sing slightly corny, whimsical X-mas songs, we won’t stop her. This seasonal duet can be heard on Bocelli’s My Christmas album, as well as every mall you’ll be shopping at for the next month.
