Mary J. Blige led off her new album, Growing Pains, with the Tricky Stewart-produced single, Just Fine.  On its heels is the danceable cut, Work That; another Blige classic that uplifts her fellow females and tells them to stand up for themselves.  The material Blige continually creates is a mirror image to previous works in her catalog; there remains something innovative about her work, however, which negates these similarities.  Although a set release date for Growing Pains has played Chutes & Ladders on the calendar since late October, the album will now officially be available on December 18th.  Last minute holiday shoppers need not thank Mary for her thoughtful planning.

This song first appeared on the R&B / Pop Chart on November 26, 2007

Mary J. Blige is so consistent with her work it's amazing. Whenever she drops an album you know it's going to be above the competition. She works well with the keyboard melody and background vocals. Looks like she is aiming for a feel-good, upbeat atmosphere with this new album. I like!

I'm trying to love Mary, I think she's fell off & she yells alot now. I'm feeling the lyric's more uplifting that she used to be. She does sound good on collabo's though....On a positive note she looks beautiful :-)

Wow Hip Hop Cutie, Sounds like you've missed the point of Mary's new concept...But anyway, I love the whole self love thing she's singing about nowaday's...And as she stated in her last single, She's not worried if YOU feel it. I know that's right!

Couldn't agree more Tone+Chef, is there anyone who more consistently makes quality R&B, the woman never falters.

i must admit i wasn't feeling this when i first heard it but it has grown on me, HipHopCutie i think you were thinking like me and was expecting another "be without u". I mean we expect so much from that when she puts out something different it seems just mediocre compared to her past hits, but i commend her on doing it different this will do good on the charts..cant wait fa da album.

This is an average Mary J track to me. I am honestly not feeling her that much anymore. Her best album to me was share my world track for track. Since then, it just seems like she got old...i dunno, It's probably just me.
