Is this supposed to be off her new album or just a standalone single?

The title is giving promo single for her accessories/wine venture teas.

Co-written by H.E.R. and Tiara Thomas; produced by D'Mile. Definitely the better of the two songs but not saying much (and it sounds like a HER leftover). I hope she writes with Jazmine again for the new album.

Yes, this is decent. As I was listening, I thought the same thing that I hope she writes with Jazzy again.

By far the better of the two songs, but it's still underwhelming.

This is okay, nice vibe, but it's lacking melodically and hook-wise. It also reminds me a lot of "Thank You" off of her last album.

It’s okay. I agree that it sounds like album filler. Almost thought this was another Jazmine Sullivan-penned track but now that I see it’s by H.E.R., it makes sense.

Enters at #30 R&B on one day of airplay. Greatest gainer.

I actually think this is a solid song, but I agree that it sounds like an album track.

This is underwhelming, but great to have her back.
Her vocals are very spent.

Meh. I'm sad Mary has been sounding so out of touch lately.

Mary is the type of singer that really needs a good vocal producer. Her last few albums have been extremely uneven in that regard. London Sessions, despite being the least well-received project, has the best vocal production since The Breakthrough and Growing Pains. On the other hand, certain songs from Strength of a Woman suffer greatly from that.

I want another “Be Without You” from her, or even another “I Am” at this point.
Her music has completely underwhelmed me since ‘Growing Pains’ although there were certain songs I loved on ‘Stronger With Each Tear’. (I wasn’t a fan of ‘My Life II/SOAW’).
She needs to go back to Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael-Cox, Tricky Stewart, The Dream etc. It may be a new era but H.E.R isn’t exactly the current writer/producer I would choose for Mary J Blige.

This is alright. An empowerment message her devoted fans and R&B radio will eat up but it lacks the punch of her most memorable songs.
I'm glad to see she's getting a little traction from Urban with both songs though. I feel like they barely touched anything from SOAW

I feel like they barely touched anything from SOAW SOAW had 2 number 1 R&B singles and Thick of It was top 5 airplay on Hip-Hop/R&B. But I get what you're saying. UAC will always support Mary. |
