- Artist: Mary J. Blige
- Track: Therapy
- Producer: Eg White
- Album: The London Sessions
As evidenced by previous song releases like Whole Damn Year, Mary J. Blige‘s next LP will see the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul struggling with some heavy emotional sh*t. On the latest single, penned by UK soul man Sam Smith, she struggles with two equally unpalatable possibilities: ignore the baggage that’s smothering her love life or begin the potentially endless task of unpacking it. As she puts it over Eg White‘s bluesy instrumental backdrop, “Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy, why would I spend the rest of this year alone / When I can go [to] Therapy… two times a day?” The London Sessions is slated to hit record stores and online retailers Tuesday, December 2. Pre-order the set in advance of its drop date, and you’ll receive Therapy as an instant download!
