Grammy Award-winning singer Mary J. Blige is wrapping up a brief bi-coastal U.S. tour behind "My Life II .... The Journey Continues (Act 1)."
Blige shared tracks from her 13th studio album for the first time on Friday (11/11) when she kicked off the tour at The Fox Theater in Oakland, CA. The album's lead single, "25/8," which was released digitally in September, is currently streaming on Blige's website. SoCal fans can catch her this Thursday (11/17) at Club Nokia at Los Angeles, after which she heads east for her final two shows: Terminal 5 in New York City on Nov. 23 and the Tabernacle in Atlanta on Nov. 25.
