Mary J. Blige is making it really hard to remain a die-hard fan. I forgave her for Love & Life because she bounced back strong with The Breakthrough and Growing Pains, back-to-back bangers for the most part. Unfortunately her last release, Stronger withEach Tear, ventured back into the valley and it sounds like she may be staying there for a minute with "Break Up To Make Up," a leaked song that is apparently from her new recording sessions. This song is OK at best and another trip into Auto-Tune Land at worst. Mary J. is beyond putting out "OK" music and so much better than relying on Auto-Tune. This track sounds lazy and uninspired and doesn't show her growth as an artist, which is what's most disappointing of all.
