Since her 1992 debut - the modern classic 'What's the 411' all the way to 2008's 'Growing Pains', Mary J. Blige has helped to redefine R&B, and more importantly, been an artist that uses her gift to lift spirits, touch lives and bring her heart, soul and truth to those who are willing to listen. On 'Stronger' Mary told Rap Up magazine: "The album represents who and what I am right now. I'm a stronger human being after all the growing pains. It's about life, love, change, strength-mostly really knowing who you are and being confident in that". The first smash single 'The One' features Canadian rapper Drake. The track is produced by super producer Rodney Jerkins who has worked with the industry's best including Beyonce, Britney Spears and Michael Jackson.
