Mary J. Blige Tells the Breakfast Club How She’s Healing, Her New Documentary, New Music + More: WATCH

Mary J.Blige talk to Charlamagne Tha God and the rest of the Breakfast Club how she healed, grew, and produced her new documentary My Life.

The New York Post: Three decades into her music career, Mary J. Blige is looking better than ever. The “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul,” 50, hit the red carpet premiere of her new Amazon Prime documentary, Mary J. Blige’s My Life, dressed in a sparkling Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture gown with hip-high slits on either side.

Crafted from cascades of silver crystallized fringe, the eye-catching ensemble added an extra dose of diva-worthy glam to the Blige’s sleek blond bouffant and smoky eye makeup. Out Friday, Blige’s new doc tracks her rise to superstardom — and doesn’t shy away from her past struggles, including the depression and suicidal thoughts she dealt with while making her seminal 1994 album, “My Life.”

The movie also shines a light on her time growing up in the Bronx, and how songwriting proved her saving grace.

“The only thing, I think, that kept us guided was the music,” she says in a clip released earlier this month. “It just saved you. In the neighborhood we lived in, it’s like prison. There was a lot wrong, and it was a lot. I needed to get out. That’s why I had that pen.”
