Mary J. Blige is working on a new album. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul shared the exciting update in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Although Blige hasn’t said much about her new project, she did reveal it is almost complete and she has a collaboration with rapper Kanye West.
“I don’t want to give up the name of the song yet, but the album is mostly complete,” Blige told The Hollywood Reporter. “But I absolutely got a chance to work with the great Kanye West. And the song is crazy — I can’t wait for people to hear it.”
She added, “The flavor of the track starts off with piano keys. It’s very dramatic in the beginning and it goes into a loud horn. That is, like an old sample horn,” she said. “And then this gigantic beat kicks in and I sing. He rhymes after my two verses. It’s incredible. He kills it. I wish I could give you the title, you’d flip but I just can’t do it yet.”
The new album will follow Blige’s 2014 LP, The London Sessions.
