After going through 'Growing Pains' over the last few years, Mary J Blige says she is stronger and more confident than ever.
"The album represents who and what I am right now. I'm a stronger human being after all the growing pains," Blige says of the follow up to 2007s "Growing Pains".
"It's all about life, love, change, strength [and] really knowing who you are and being confident in that."
Because of those reasons, Blige has officially titled her anticipated album "Stronger".
With a tentative release date of November 24, "Stronger" is lead by the single "One," featuring Drake, and may be followed by the title track "Stronger" this fall.
In related news, the record "One" has been added to a new AT&T commercial slated to air over the next few weeks.
Blige is also due to appear in the Tyler Perry helmed film I Can Do Bad All By Myself, due in theaters September 11.

Mary has always been strong for she is one of few artists who doesn't mince their words! You never have to second guess where she's coming from when being interviewed! Very smart move for her label to release the album around Thanksgiving as well!
