Mary J. Blige Straddles R&B & Electronica on Disclosure-Produced "Right Now"
After Mary J. Blige jumped on epic reworks of singles by Disclosure ("F for You") and Sam Smith ("Stay With Me"), it's only appropriate the guys repay the R&B queen by helping out on her new song. That comes in the form of "Right Now," the first single from the diva's new album The London Sessions. The track finds the singer moving to a house/electronic sound, but keeping her signature empowering lyrics.
Listen above as MJB brings her emotional growls over Disclosure's throbbing synths and knocking percussion. Mary proves she's still the queen of perfect breakup anthems, declaring: "I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now / No, I won't play this game with you."
Sam Smith, also known for his poignant and heartbreaking lyrics, helped co-write the track.
