It’s a little early for holiday tunes but Mary J. Blige has already announced that she will release her first-ever holiday album in October of 2013. The album is titled A Mary Christmas, and features her soulful interpretation of classic holiday tunes.
A Mary Christmas is the first collaboration between legendary producer and hit-maker David Foster and Blige for Matriarch Records/Verve Records/Interscope Records. Sixteen-time Grammy winner and Chairman of The Verve Music Group, Foster is the producer of multi-platinum Christmas albums by Michael Bublé, Rod Stewart, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban and Celine Dion.
