# Mary J. Blige Set to Release ‘Strength of a Woman’

The Queen of Hip Hop Soul recently shared a post on Instagram unveiling the release date and cover art for her latest album titled *Strength of a Woman*. The album cover features Mary J sitting atop a golden throne in a strappy black outfit. The album, which marks Blige’s 13th LP, will be available April 28.

Last November, the first single from her LP, *Thick of It*earned the R&B songstress her fifth No. 1 on the Adult R&B Songs airplay chart.

“I don’t want to give up the name of the song yet, but the album is mostly complete,” she told *The Hollywood Reporter*. “But I absolutely got a chance to work with the great Kanye West. And the song is crazy — I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

Beyond *Thick of It,* Blige has also released *U+Me (Love Lesson)*and a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s *(American Skin) 41 Shots* featuring Kendrick Lamar for her Apple Music show *The 411 With Mary J. Blige,*where she interviewed Hillary Clinton.
