Mary J. Blige is Breaking Through

Mary will be featured on the September cover of Essence Magazine. In the article she talks about her upcoming album, "The Breakthrough".

"I'm one of my biggest obstacles," Blige "The bottom line is that you have to deal with you ... People are not going to change unless they see you change." — Mary J. Blige— who is on the cover of Essence's September issue — told the magazine. "Me."

What that means for the R&B singer is recognizing that she can't change anyone but herself, and if she wants to affect other people, she has to stop blaming others and look inward. Blige said the overriding theme on her forthcoming album, The Breakthrough, is recognizing that "it's nobody's fault. For real."

Her new album is due in November of this year. Hopefully this album will give us the kind of music Mary used to make. You know the songs that used to really make us feel what she was singing about.
