Where to start with a legend like Mary J. Blige? You could try an insightful Trevor Nelson Radio 2 interview from 2013, during which she played some of her favourite songs, or get stuck into her 13 albums to date, particularly her incredible 1992 debut, What’s the 411?, or her 2001 classic, No More Drama (the title track from which she performed on Later… in 2002). Blige is the Queen of Hip Hop Soul and at last – at last! – she’s playing Glastonbury.
We’ve always loved Mary in the UK, and she loves us. In February 2014, she added vocals to a remix of Disclosure's F for You, then dropped an entire album, The London Sessions, of collaborations with the cream of new British talent, including Sam Smith, Emile Sandé and Naughty Boy, which she promoted with another class Later… performance. She arrives at Glastonbury more relevant than ever - do what her 2001 single orders, and dance for her.
