We may eventually know whether she wrote that song during the tour or if it was in the archives of unreleased music. For now, we look set to enjoy her iconic vocals that take us back to her 1994 album My Life.
Mary J Blige voices in powerful testimony of triumph and struggle in “Know”. Singing the lyrics “My snapback’s real / Still thick in these jeans / I ain’t missin’ no meals… / They just don’t know how many times I lost just so I could win,”
For some time now, we have known that she has been preparing an album “My Life II (Act 2)” to be released pretty soon. She categorically said “July” the last time she was quizzed on when the album would drop.
