New Music: Mary J. Blige - 'Vegas Nights' [Review]
Is Epic Records trying to unveil half of the
soundtrack by the time it gets released on June 17? If they keep on premiering
songs from the ‘Think Like A Man Too’ soundtrack every day till release day
that means we would have nine out of the fourteen songs by then! A little too
much? In any case, this is only good news for fans of Queen of Hip Hop-Soul
Mary J. Blige. It's been three years since she dropped 'My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1)’ and the fact that we are getting a new
Mary J. song a day, it’s just a blessing! Plus, all of these soundtrack records
are really, really good. I’m nicely surprised.
The latest, ‘Vegas Nights’, is track no. 2 on
the ‘Think Like A Man Too’ soundtrack, and it’s a nostalgic R&B record in
which Mary J. Blige shouts out to Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Aretha
Franklin, or James Brown. She sings about being in a Vegas night at a club and
she’d love for the DJ to play a few of the old time classics.
Can you just imagine Mary tearing up the dancefloor?
