Mary J. Blige Announces Strength of a Woman Tour
In support of her latest album, Strength of a Woman, Mary J. Blige has announced a summer tour. Blige will perform songs from her feature-studded LP — which has contributions from Kanye West, Missy Elliot, Kaytranada, and Hit-Boy — across the United States and Europe. Starting July 30 in Chicago, soul singer Lalah Hathaway will support the U.S. leg of Blige’s Strength of a Woman Tour, which ends September 9 in Oakland. The tour follows Blige’s recent trek with Maxwell, 2016′s King + Queen of Hearts World Tour, which has been made into a new 20-minute documentary.
Blige has also contributed to the charitable “7-inches for Planned Parenthood” compilation — featuring Chvrches, Feist, Björk, Bon Iver, St. Vincent, Sleater-Kinney, Foo Fighters, comedian Zach Galifianakis, author Margaret Atwood, street artist Shepard Fairey, and more – which is slated for release in the forthcoming weeks.
