MUSIC: Dim The Lights: Mary J. Prepares Retrospective

If there was ever a throwback to the class and swagger of classic soul sirens from days of yore, it's Mary J. Blige. The lady does it everytime and every album she's released is essentially a collection of pure goosebump-raising emotion.



Fortunately, Mary is providing the world with a Cliff Notes version of her fifteen-year career. Reflections - A Retrospective will not only include fourteen of Mary's best songs, Blige recorded four new tracks for the collection. One of the songs, "We Ride (I See The Future)", is scheduled to be the first single from the collection. Another of the new songs, "King & Queen", is a duet with John Legend. Reflections hits stores in time for the holidays on December 12.

If that's not enough Mary J. for you, the singer recently released a CD/DVD two-disc set called Mary J. Blige & Friends; a collection of Mary's various duets over the years. Proceeds from the album, which is available exclusively through Circuit City, will benefit The Boys and Girls Club Of America.







Pure Class: Mary J. Blige
