Mary J. Blige is back with a snippet from her new album, tentatively titled Growing Pains. The song, “Just Fine” finds Mary in a good place again, which I’m glad about. There’s no word on who the producer is, but I like the production of the song. I’m surprised that Mary didn’t hit us with another B. Cox joint, considering that he knocked out so many great songs for her on The Breakthrough.
There is a rumor going around that there will be a Mary J. Blige vs. Mariah Carey showdown, because both of their albums might be releasing on the same date. Didn’t we just get done with 50 and Kanye? We’ll see how this one goes when Mariah’s single leaks.

Man, I hope she has some of the classic vibe on her album (Mary, Share My World, etc.) because eventhough I liked “The Breakthrough” I don’t think it was her best total effort.
Mariah did some amazing thngs on “Emancipation” and I know she doesn’t want to go back in the toilet so she’s working really hard to keep up with current trends.
Either way, this is so good for R&B- agenre thath as been DEAD for years. With all of these pop acts being passed off as R&B, it’s hard to even tell anymore.
She looks stunning! The one and only that can rock blond hair and no one says nothing bad! I love MJB she is so real.The song is uplifting. I’d wish I could listen more of the “Concrete Exclusive” I am not mad at you Concrete LOOP!! Thanks!
Whats up with everyone “letting it go” or not “letting it go…okay, we get it already!! lol.
BUT I LOVE me some Mary anyway, she’s my girl. Not really feelin this one but Im sure after I hear it a couple of times it may grow on me and as for a showdown between her and whatever her name is, ummm Mariah I think… uhhh that chick has nothing on Mary!!!
Lol i was literally just singin 2 my man bout 3 minutes ago Mary’s, i don’t wanna fuss and fight, i just wanna make it right oooooo!, lol, i dig this Huhbruh, Mary da true queen of hip hop and rockin da blonde hair!
umm i dunno wat it sounds like from this snippet but i can tell u now mary from the little i did here u need to pray Mariah dont run u over wit her single cause her shit is def prob gone be fire! but good luck to both ladies yall both is da shit!
uh uh.. We not HAVIN no “Team Mary” and “Team Mariah” ish! That was old when it was done for 50 and Kanye.. I love both of these beautiful women.. As a whole, I’m more into mary because she has always been the same.. Straight R&B wit a hip-hop twist.. I can’t even stomach some of that fluff of Mariah’s past albums.. ANYWAY, these queens are doin it..
Now, I LOOOOOVVVVEEE The snippet. . It’s too hype!
i ain’t hear nuthin bout a Mary vs. Mariah showdown but Jermaine Dupri was talkin bout a Janet vs. Mariah thing…. i guess competions like that are a good marketing stragtegy… either way…
I LOVE U MARY, GETTIN YO ALBUM
love mariah, getting hers
love janet, getting hers
Concrete Loop I thought ya’ll was first with everything? If that was the case, you’d know Mariah album got pushed back and there will be no big over-hyped showdown. Mary and Mariah love each other.
(SINGING) MARY, MARY, MARY, MARY, MARY. THIS BRONZED BEAUTY IS THE TRUTH. GROWING UP IN A HOUSEHOLD WHERE THE OLDEST SIBLING IS 10 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU AND ANOTHER THAT IS 7 YEARS OLDER, MARY WAS ALWAYS PLAYED IN MY HOUSE. THE BEGINNING TO THE END, I WILL ALWAYS BE A MARY FAN…CROSS MY HEART, HOPE TO DIE, STICK A THOUSAND NEEDLES IN MY EYE (DID ANYONE ELSE SAY THAT STUPID RIDDLE)?
I keep telling ya’ll that 2008 is that year for kick ass music! The way it jumps at you says that it’s a sure number one! Jupiter goes into Capricorn, as well as the Planet Pluto! So Mary is about to jump out the box on ya’ll hoes in 08! I promise ya’ll that 2008 is going to be the biggest year yet!
This song is HOT! What does Mooriah WEAK ass voice have to do with a REAL SINGER like Mary? Mooriah sells sex, she is NOT a singer and could NEVER be on Mary’s level vocally. Mary is the QUEEN, what is Mooriah? The Dragqueen? Anyhoo, the QUEEN is back and about to shut it down once AGAIN, whos mad?
I LIKED THE LITTLE PIECE I HEARD!!! I THINK IT’S DIFFERENT, FRESH AND ORIGINAL!!!!!!!! MARY ALWAYS BRINGS THE HEAT!!!! THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#42 ur mad…u cant even post ya name…..&i dont know how old you are…but mariah is the voice…even tho she doesnt sound as good as she was back then….she still is talented and can really blow…and another thing is when she came out in 1990…she covered up for the first 7 years of her career and sold more albums than mary combined….Scary J. Blige will always be after MIMI
I’m definitely feeling the little bit of that song I heard. One thing I like about MJB is that she’s consistent. She knows how to switch it up but still maintiain that hip hop Marry sound we’ve come to love. Her last two albums were exceptional.
Was that Angel La who let us know that it was a CL exlcusive? Lol
I love Murry, but that snippet doesn’t have me convinced. Maybe it’ll sound better once I hear it in full, but so far she’s not besting Keyshia Crow’s first single. I can’t believe I just said that.
Manriah is a fat whale, she has no talent, ALL the legends call on Mary, NOT Manriah. Manriah is a fat redneck who lip synchs and CHEATS her fans. The WORLD LOVES Mary more, I dont care how many RIGGED sales Manriah got, she’ll NEVER have the love and respect Mary has.
Mariah is #1 fuck mary j blige mariah is going to slam that bitch mary aint got shit on queen Mariah. Mary can go blow some more crack that bitch wont wina gainst mariah.
Oh please…Mary is the same size if not bigger than Mariah…at least Mariah is in shape and can proudly wear a bikini…and for u to say she has NO TALENT shows how ignorant you are….mary can sing..but never as good as mariah.. u callin mariah a fat redneck makes no sense…..how would u feel if i called mary a ghetto bitch..huh???NEWSFLAH: Mariah is from NY….not the countryside…oh and another thing…..mariah has worked with more LEGENDS than mary has….alive and deceased….so there….don’t be mad cuz mary’s album sales are nothin compared 2 mariah….
Manriah is trash, her music is trash and so is her tired WEAK ass voice, Manriah has NEVER sung with any REAL SINGERS, bitch singing about “Chicken & Lotion”, NOBODY takes Manriah serious, NONE of the singers look up to her like they look up to Mary, she is a redneck that TRYS to fit in and make hip hop/R&B music that MARY created. Tell that ugly fat redneck bitch to get some voice lessons and stop drinking all them beers with her fat lazy ass.
Mary looks like a barbie doll in this pic…soooo cute!!!!
lol @ Angel “this is a Concreteloop exclusive” lol
It sounds alright , something you can jam to in the club or something.
Now that I have listened to the snippet…Mary will forever be doing her thing…wish I could’ve heard more of the song though, so far so good!!
I think it might be cool…
sounds alright. nothing to shout about. i can see it growing on me a lot though.
MJB is doin her thang! Been a while since she’s had an upbeat song. It”s hott!!!
I LOVE U MARY!!

OH YEA!!!! This is the Mary I wanted back, The Whats the 411 Mary… I need to hear the rest but so far I was really in to the snippet lol
itz okay…i’ll take mariah anyday over mary….GO MIMI!!!
Nice.
Mary sure has improved on her singing over the years. I love her new look!
She looks stunning! The one and only that can rock blond hair and no one says nothing bad! I love MJB she is so real.The song is uplifting. I’d wish I could listen more of the “Concrete Exclusive” I am not mad at you Concrete LOOP!! Thanks!

That Snippet was shorter than an I-Tunes Preview…..Anyway I wish Mary would go back to this look, She looks Beautiful
I love you Mary. I can’t wait until her album drops. Where are the Jill Scott snippets? Her album is dope!

I LOVE U MARY, GETTIN YO ALBUM

love janet, getting hers
Sounds a mess. Come harder Scary J.
Concrete Loop I thought ya’ll was first with everything? If that was the case, you’d know Mariah album got pushed back and there will be no big over-hyped showdown. Mary and Mariah love each other.
Damn.. I keep playin that joint.. I wanna bump it in my truck ASAP
Knuck…Mariah could have bronchitis and sing Mary under a rock any day!!!!
*Team MARIAH!!!!!!!!*
Mary is an Icon. I heart her. We grew up together. Not literally, but figuratively.
^^and Mariah is not???
It’s not bad. She stays throwing music out there — an album out every year for the past 3 years. Guess she’s trying to keep up with Rihanna, LOL!
oh and i forgot……..*Team Mariah!!!!!!!!!*
i like this…sounds good
shes not one of the best singers. i think mariah can sing circles around mary but she def has the soul and can hold it down which mariah lacks!
I love that pic that snippet sounds good. I’m lookin forward to the cd.
(SINGING) MARY, MARY, MARY, MARY, MARY. THIS BRONZED BEAUTY IS THE TRUTH. GROWING UP IN A HOUSEHOLD WHERE THE OLDEST SIBLING IS 10 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU AND ANOTHER THAT IS 7 YEARS OLDER, MARY WAS ALWAYS PLAYED IN MY HOUSE. THE BEGINNING TO THE END, I WILL ALWAYS BE A MARY FAN…CROSS MY HEART, HOPE TO DIE, STICK A THOUSAND NEEDLES IN MY EYE (DID ANYONE ELSE SAY THAT STUPID RIDDLE)?
really feelin this song and i like her look on the above pic. i wish she would keep her hair of this order
I keep telling ya’ll that 2008 is that year for kick ass music! The way it jumps at you says that it’s a sure number one! Jupiter goes into Capricorn, as well as the Planet Pluto! So Mary is about to jump out the box on ya’ll hoes in 08! I promise ya’ll that 2008 is going to be the biggest year yet!
Hide & Watch !
Drag queen dialog!
i think its going to be a good song but alicia keys got my money on lock…lol
This song is HOT! What does Mooriah WEAK ass voice have to do with a REAL SINGER like Mary? Mooriah sells sex, she is NOT a singer and could NEVER be on Mary’s level vocally. Mary is the QUEEN, what is Mooriah? The Dragqueen? Anyhoo, the QUEEN is back and about to shut it down once AGAIN, whos mad?
I LIKED THE LITTLE PIECE I HEARD!!! I THINK IT’S DIFFERENT, FRESH AND ORIGINAL!!!!!!!! MARY ALWAYS BRINGS THE HEAT!!!! THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This shit is horrible. I’m really disappointed in Mary. Mariah is going to crush her
I wanna hear more! Can’t wait for her new album. I agree with #12 about the hair. It looks too harsh on some Black women, but it works for Mary.
#42 ur mad…u cant even post ya name…..&i dont know how old you are…but mariah is the voice…even tho she doesnt sound as good as she was back then….she still is talented and can really blow…and another thing is when she came out in 1990…she covered up for the first 7 years of her career and sold more albums than mary combined….Scary J. Blige will always be after MIMI

sounds good. I can’t Imagine Mary and Mariah going at it. They have too much class and I’ll buy them both.
THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN SAY ABOUT MJB! THAT HEFFA IS THE BOMB! I LOVE HER TOO DEATH!!1
Manriah is a fat whale, she has no talent, ALL the legends call on Mary, NOT Manriah. Manriah is a fat redneck who lip synchs and CHEATS her fans. The WORLD LOVES Mary more, I dont care how many RIGGED sales Manriah got, she’ll NEVER have the love and respect Mary has.
FUCK FAGRIAH SCAREY!
FUCK WHALERIAH WHOREY.
Fuck that fat beach whale Manriah, she will NEVER be on Mary’s level, period!
is she serious with this song. Mary Mary please we don’t want another Love & Life era.
Mariah is #1 fuck mary j blige mariah is going to slam that bitch mary aint got shit on queen Mariah. Mary can go blow some more crack that bitch wont wina gainst mariah.
Oh please…Mary is the same size if not bigger than Mariah…at least Mariah is in shape and can proudly wear a bikini…and for u to say she has NO TALENT shows how ignorant you are….mary can sing..but never as good as mariah.. u callin mariah a fat redneck makes no sense…..how would u feel if i called mary a ghetto bitch..huh???NEWSFLAH: Mariah is from NY….not the countryside…oh and another thing…..mariah has worked with more LEGENDS than mary has….alive and deceased….so there….don’t be mad cuz mary’s album sales are nothin compared 2 mariah….
