Mary J. Blige has released a new song titled "Therapy". Premiered on Monday morning, September 22 on "The Elvis Duran" show on Z100 radio, the track is available for free download for fans who pre-order her new album "The London Sessions" on iTunes.
"Therapy" was co-written by British sensation Sam Smith. The song, which according to Billboard serves as the official lead single off Blige's forthcoming LP, features the singer showing off her golden pipes over a simple beat, minimal instrumentation and backing harmonies.
On the ballad, Blige talks about getting a help after splitting from her man. "Why would I spend the rest of my days unhappy?/ Why would I spend the rest of my year alone?" she asks. "When I can go to therapy/ Two times a day."
"The London Sessions" is scheduled to be released later this fall. In addition to Smith, the album that was recorded in the U.K. last summer will feature British stars like Disclosure and Emeli Sande. Producer Rodney Jerkins also made contributions to the LP.
"The sound in London at the moment is house music. That is what the majority of people are producing their songs like. But the ones that get truly successful are the ones using proper songwriting," Blige said in a recent interview of what made the U.K. so appealing to her.
