Mary J. Blige - Mr. Wrong
Artist: Mary J. Blige
Featuring: Drake
Producer: Jim Jonsin & Rico Love
Album: My Life II... The Journey Continues (Act 1)
Label: Matriarch/Geffen/Interscope
When last we left Mary J. Blige, the veteran R&B songstress was head-over-heels for a guy so fantastic she wished she could break the laws of time and space and be with him 25/8. It sounded like she was in a damn good place romantically—but, um, sounds can be deceiving. On the follow-up, MJB reminds us, the capricious nature of love means that you’re just as likely to fall for Mr. Wrong as Mr. Right. Heavyweight guest Drake takes the pole position, lacing Jim Jonsin and Rico Love‘s downtempo synth beat with doleful rhymes from the perspective of the title character (“I’m always her regret, yeah I’m always her regret, and I always make it harder on whoever’s comin’ next.”). The headliner takes over for the record’s latter two-thirds, soulfully lamenting that, “Bad boys ain’t no good, and good boys ain’t no fun.” Will Blige ever hit the jackpot and find that “bad” boy who won’t do her wrong? We can only hope. In any case, those digging this cut should mark their calendars for the November 21, arrival of her 10th LP, My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act 1).

I really like this RnB track and to me Drake killed it, at first he made his song but then Mary came in a switched it up. I would have liked to hear them croon together somewhere on the backend.

Production work on this track is SICK! Nice, Nice beat. I think Drake goes hard on here. Can't wait for the album for real! Mary J sounds as good as ever on here. This is definitely BANGER material.

Mary needs to quit doing what everyone is doing cuz this don't fit her IMO!!
This production fits drake like a glove so I'm thinking this was a drake track to begin with then was given to Mary!! Best is really good,drake kills his verse, and Mary.....well she's in the song wasting space!! 3 stars for beat and drake |

Drake made the song for me. Decent hook but MJBs verses are too slow and just seem off. i know thats her style but its not mine.

People need to stop putting Mary in a box...she has been in the game like 20 yrs. She always reinvents herself but manages to keep her shit soulful and real. This single is dope.

i have to admit after i listened to this track for about 3 or 4 times i cant help but to agree that this seems like a track for drake that should have been ft mary and perhaps they went back and took some of his verses out and added some for mary to release for her up and coming album, with that being said overall a decent track nothing to really put me in the "oh i got to go out and buy the new mary cd" type of mood.
