Nine-time GRAMMY® Award-winning, 2x Oscar-nominated and 1x Emmy Award-winning artist, producer, actress, and entrepreneur Mary J. Blige has released her brand new single “You Ain’t The Only One” ahead of her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this weekend in Cleveland. Blige will also drop a music video for the song on Monday, October 21st at 11 am EST, which will premiere on MTV and BET.

The single, released through Blige’s own Beautiful Life Productions in partnership with 300 Entertainment, was produced by Pat Kelly, Angelo “Doc” Velasquez, Will Campbell, and Aidan Brody. The song was written by Blige, Pat Kelly, Angelo “Doc” Velasquez, and Jezus Rose. “You Ain’t The Only One” will be featured on her forthcoming album, Gratitude.

Gratitude is available for pre-order now and will be released on Friday, November 15th. This past August, Blige released her first single off the album, “Breathing” featuring Fabolous. This is her first album since the critically acclaimed Good Morning Gorgeous, which received six GRAMMY nominations at the 65th GRAMMY Awards, including “Album of the Year” and “Best R&B Album.”

Blige will next head to Cleveland this weekend to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Those performing in her honour include Dr. Dre, Method Man, Ella Mai, Lucky Daye, and more.

Blige will be kicking off her “THE FOR MY FANS” tour on January 30th, 2025, in Greensboro, NC and will travel to 27 cities across North America, with a final show in Boston, MA, on April 14th, 2025. The tour will feature special guests NE-YO and Mario. Tickets are available for purchase now.

Following the success of her first launch with Giuseppe Zanotti, which quickly sold, Blige is reteaming with the iconic Italian designer to launch a new thigh-high white patent version of The Mary Boot. She wore this version of the boot during her performance at her Strength of a Woman Festival & Summit earlier this year. Officially launching in mid-November, discover more about the collaboration HERE.
