(December 8, 2021) The great Mary J. Blige has spent three decades baring her soul in a way that has connected her uniquely with millions of fans. Proud and relatable, Blige tells her story in song, singing truths with which so many people — particularly women — can relate.
Her consistently strong work has made her a legend, even as she, at age 50, continues to connect with fans in new, compelling ways. On her latest single, “Good Morning Gorgeous,” Blige sings of the challenges of self-doubt and external negativity, and the conviction to stand in front of the mirror and verbalize the positives she sees.
All the times that I hated myself
All the times that I wanted to be someone else
All the times that I should’ve been gentle with me
All the times that I should’ve been careful with me
Why did I hate myself?
So intensely Lord, help me I wake up every morning and tell myself “Good morning gorgeous”
It is a message of self-love that rings true, particularly during the challenging time that is 2021, and, as always, Mary J. Blige sings it with conviction. Check out “Good Morning Gorgeous” below, and welcome Mary J. back to SoulTracks.
